BYU BEATS LSU ON THE ROAD

Beautiful Baton Rouge

GAME TIME

The Cougs are home from their first road trip in Baton Rouge, Lousianna.  They came home with a big win over the LSU Tigers! It was a beautiful night, and the Tigers would start off the scoring with 24 minutes left in the half.  The Cougs would answer back with a goal from Colette Jepson-Smith 3 minutes later, assisted by Michelle Murphy.  The Tigers would score again with 12 minutes left in the half, and once again, the Cougs answered back with a goal from Ashley Hatch 1 minute later.  The Cougs and the Tigers would finish the half tied at 2-2. 

Practice before the game

The second half was just as exciting, and the Cougs came out fired up.  Rachel Manning scored an awesome goal at the 20 minute mark, assisted by Elena Medeiros.  Paige Hunt would finish the night off with the 4^th goal with 7 minutes left in the half, assisted by Ashley Hatch and Sarah Chambers.  The girls worked hard and head home to prepare for Utah on Friday, September 6^th! Make sure you get tickets, last game was a sold out crowd of 5,100!!

BYU Takes Down Cal State Fullerton 3-1

BYU took on Cal State Fullerton this weekend for their home opener! The Cougs almost put one away in the first minute of the game off a header from Colette Jepson-Smith, but Cal State came up with a big save from the keeper, Lindsey Maricic!  The Cougs put the first goal of the game away in the 26th minute. Paige Hunt sent a free kick into the box and Rachel Manning was there to head it in.  Ashley Hatch put the second goal away in the 48th minute on a breakaway, assisted by Cloee Colohan, her second goal of the season.  Cal State put a goal away in the 74th minute, and the Cougs answered right back in the 78th minute off a penalty kick by Rachel Manning. 

The Cougs play Nebraska, Saturday, August 31st at 7PM! 

The BYU Women's Soccer Team also had an awesome opportunity to be a part of Amber's Make A Wish experience.  Amber came to the Cougar Kickoff last week to meet the BYU Soccer Team and to hang out.  They played soccer, put Erica Owens in the dunk tank, good work Amber :) and played some soccer. 

It was an amazing experience and the girls really enjoyed getting to know Amber and her family.  They announced her wish, a Caribbean Cruise, at the Cougar Kick-Off!  Thanks for letting us be a part of your wish! 

GO COUGS!!

SEE YOU SATURDAY, AUGUST 31

BYU Hosts HaitI National Team

The BYU Cougars had the opportunity to host and play the Haiti National Team on Friday night.  What an amazing opportunity to be able to meet the girls from the Haiti National Team and learn more about them and their culture.  We were able to have dinner with the team before our game Friday night, and they are such an awesome group of girls, they had us laughing all night long.  I am pretty sure they had some better dance moves than we did . . . 

BYU defeated Haiti in their international friendly 5-0 Friday night.  The Cougs first goal came from Cloee Colohan, assisted by Colette Jepson-Smith. The Cougs second goal was a beautiful header by Rachel Manning, assisted by Colette and Jaiden Thornock.  Ashely Hatch, our incoming freshmen, had her first college goal in the 39th minute and Marissa Nimmer knocked in her first goal of the season. Cloee finished the game with two goals, after she scored a free kick that bounced of both posts and the crossbar.  

Both Haiti and the Cougs played a great game, and the girls are looking forward to their first regular game of the season. The Cougs host Cal State Fullerton, Friday, August 23 @ 7 PM. 

Thank you Haiti for coming to South Field, we enjoyed having you, and look forward to watching you continue your journey to the World Cup!  

GO COUGS!!!

The Spring Comes To An End

The Cougs just finished up their spring season yesterday with a win over ISU and Utah.  The weather was perfect for the first game, and the girls battled hard.  BYU was able to pull off the win with a goal from Rachel Manning with about 2 minutes left in the game.  The last time BYU met Utah, they walked away with a 1-0 loss, and it would be the only loss of the season.  The girls were anxious and excited to match up against Utah. BYU scored first with a goal from Colette Jepson-Smith. Utah answered back shortly after to tie up the game.  Sarah Chambers had the game winning goal at the end of the game off a steal.  

A special thanks to the Celtic Storm soccer team for volunteering to be our ball kids. It was so cold, the wind was blowing like crazy and it was raining.  Thank you for being so awesome!  

The girls will continue to train throughout the summer, they will run, play lots of soccer, and lift to get read for the 2013 season! Make sure you have your season passes, and reserved seats! Check back to see what the girls are up to during the summer!  

GO COUGS!!

Spring Continues In Vegas

The Cougs just got back from their outdoor tournament down in Las Vegas, where they played two games against Dixie and UNLV. The Cougs left on Friday afternoon, got in Friday night, played two games, and got back on the bus home.  The weather was perfect, 75 degrees, green grass, 2 things we haven't seen for a while.  The girls did great, and ended up winning both games 3-1.  There were goals from Jaiden Thornock, Rachel Manning, Paige Hunt, Michelle Murphy, and 2 goals from Sarah Chambers.
