Thunderbirds Unable To Keep Up With Top-Ranked Wolverines

CEDAR CITY, UTAH -- The Southern Utah Women's Soccer team couldn't keep up with the conference's top-ranked team and lost 3-0 to Utah Valley. 

Head Coach Kai Edwards said

"We played a very good team today. Second half we outshot them and out possessed them which is great. I am proud of the leadership of the group to handle the whole game. In the end we played two of the top team in the league and in the west, and shut them out for three of four halves. We get a couple back on Friday and we go again!"

Game Recap

The Thunderbirds played a quality 80 minutes against the top team in the WAC. Brady Manthy opened the scoring in the 22nd minute on an assist from Nixan Jackson. In the 24th minute, Cortney Cobabe found the back of the net on assists from Nixan Jackson and Taylor Nelson. Just two minutes later, Ruby Hladek made it 3-0 for the Wolverines, with Nixan getting her third assist of the match. 

The Thunderbirds' second half was really impressive. They outshot the Wolverines 4-3 and had a lot of control. Sarah Assumma had a grade-A chance to cut into the lead that was just tipped up and over the back of the net.

The game would end 3-0 in favor of the Wolverines.
