COUGS TAKE DOWN THE AGGIES!!

South Field - Pre-game Saturday, Game time 2PM

The Cougs had a tough match up against in-state rivals, Utah State! The game was set for Friday night, at 6 PM!  The snow started early in the afternoon Friday, and didn't stop all day long! The grounds crew worked hard to keep the field free from snow, but as soon as they could plow it, it was already covered again! The game was rescheduled to be played Saturday at 2 PM!  It had snowed a significant amount Friday night, which made for an adventure getting South Field ready for the match by 2 PM! Grounds crew started early Saturday morning with the snow removal and by 9 AM Jen Rockwood, Coach Watkins, and Tom Holmoe were out on the field with many others shoveling off the deep snow.  The plows were going, and people kept showing up with shovels to clean off the field and the bleachers.  They had machines carrying out the snow to dump trucks outside of the fence . . . it really was an amazing sight! At one point there were little kids, and the BYU Men's Team showed up to join in the fun!  By game time, the field looked AMAZING!  The grounds crew did and awesome job, as well as everyone who came out to help that day! THANK YOU!!

As for the game, the Cougs showed up to play in front of 2,200 fans! The air was crisp, the snow was mounted up around the field, but that didn't stop the Cougs from getting the job done! Jessica Ringwood put a goal in off an assist from Jaiden Thornock in the 30th minute of the first half! Marissa Nimmer would answer again for the Cougs ten minutes later off a cross from Kayla Varner.  The Cougs went into halftime up 2-0.  The Aggies came out fired up and put a goal away in the first minute of the half.  The Aggies would continue to come at the Cougs, and had another good chance later in the half but was tipped over by Erica Owens.  The Cougs will now advance in the tournament and face Auburn on Thursday, November 15th at 6 PM! Make sure you get your tickets they sale out fast! 

Keep up the good work Cougs, and go get Auburn!
