BYU Drops a Heartbreaker to UCLA in the NCAA Tournamaent

The Cougs met on campus on a Monday afternoon to hear who they would face in the NCAA Tournament. BYU was one of the first teams to hear the brackets, and they were headed to California to face UCLA in the first round and then if they won that game they would take on the winner of Central Florida and Fresno State. The girls cheered with excitement, partly because it was somewhere warm, and partly because they were excited to be matched up with one of the best teams in nation. UCLA had a few great looks and the Cougs had 2 balls cleared off the line. It was a great game by both teams, and would remain scoreless during regulation time. Keeper McKinzie Olson made some big saves to keep the Cougs in the game. Both teams fought til the end of overtime, and were set to end the match in PK's. The girls started off strong, and made their first shot, and would miss their second. UCLA converted on all of their kicks. BYU had to make two saves to stay in the game. McKinzie came up big for the Cougs, and made two big saves. BYU was unable to covert their final kick, and ended up losing in the shootout. The girls fought hard,and had a great year!

MOUNTAIN WEST CONFERENCE CHAMPS!!!!!

The Cougs picked up another MWC Championship with a victory over New Mexico. New Mexico had beat the Cougars in conference play, giving the Cougs their only loss in conference. It was a hard fought game on both sides, with the Cougs ending the match with 12 shots, and the Lobos with 10. Jessica Ringwood scored the only goal in the game, which came from a deflected shot from Jennie Marshall, and then a pass from Carlee Payne. The girls worked hard, and played a great tournament. Carlee Payne, Jessica Ringwood, Lindsi Lisonbee and McKinzie Olson were all named to the 2010 MWC Tournament Team. Jessica Ringwood was also named the MVP of the tournament! The Cougs will get an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament, and will find out who they play on Monday, November 8, at 4:30 ET on ESPNU.
