LAS VEGAS, Nev. - Sept. 26 - Southern Utah women's soccer was down 1-0 before the two-minute mark at UNLV on Saturday afternoon and ended up losing the game 2-0 as a pair of Rebel goals in the first half spelled defeat for the Thunderbirds.  The loss drops the T-Birds to 2-6-1 on the year with UNLV moving to 3-3-4.

UNLV found the back of the net quickly as Brianna Moore's header off a Dani Morin cross marked the first goal for the Rebels, only 92 seconds into the game.  UNLV struck again in the 40th minute as a Jamie McCoy cross caught the leg of Jenna Larkin, taking a high bounce over SUU keeper Briana Fitzgerald and into the goal.

Neither team scored in the second half as Southern Utah found itself behind in the shot tally, 23 to 4 on the game.  Fitzgerald finished the game with six saves while Emily Belnap led the team with two shots during the afternoon.
