PROVO -- In the last regular season home game of the year, the 17th-ranked BYU women's soccer team shutout UNLV 5-0 Saturday. Eight Cougar seniors, six who were regular starters throughout the season, were honored in pregame ceremonies.
"It's hard to put in words the impact these players have had and the record they've compiled during their time here. They will surely be missed," said BYU head coach Jennifer Rockwood. "This game was symbolic for the seniors as they've had a lot of success on this field."
Aleisha Cramer, who had two goals on the night for the Cougars, ignited BYU's offense by firing one into the rightside of the goal. Less than a minute later, senior forwardKim Lowe hit the back of the net for the second goal of the game. BYU outshot the Rebels 21-2 in first half action, jumping to a 3-0 lead at the break with the third goal coming off a shot by senior midfielder Sara Reading .
In the second half, Lowe and Cramer each added a goal a piece to their first half tally. Senior midfielder Natalyn Lewis finished with three assists in the game.UNLV's offense stayed silent as freshman forward Rachael Buscovich had the only shot on goal of the night for the Running Rebels.
The Cougars finished the season unbeaten at home and moves to 12-3-1, 4-0 on the season while UNLV drops to 9-6-0, 2-2 for the year. BYU continues conference play on the road against Air Force on Thursday, October 19, at 3 p.m.
