PROVO -- The BYU women's soccer team extended its winning streak to 10 games with a 2-0 victory over Weber State, Wednesday. After a 3-5 start, BYU improves to 13-5 while Weber State drops to 5-11-1.
The Cougars created several scoring opportunities in the first 20 minutes of the game. Senior forward Jeni Viernes scored her 10th goal of the season after MWC Player of the Week Brooke Bowman, a freshman, headed the ball from the opposite post. Junior Aleisha Cramer-Rose was also credited with an assist in the free-kick situation.
"We were happy with the looks we got in the first half," head coach Jennifer Rockwood said. "We hope to capitalize even more on the scoring opportunities."
Freshman Charlene Lui scored her third career goal 17 minutes into the second half off another Bowman assist. The Cougar defense did not allow a single shot in the second half.
"Lui does an outstanding job for us," Rockwood said. "Our freshmen have all played great during our current winning streak."
The Cougars out shot the Wildcats 25-2 with an 8-0 advantage in corner kicks.
BYU will play No. 23 Utah on Saturday in Salt Lake. The winner will decide the MWC regular season champion and the right to host next year's tournament. BYU is a perfect 11-0 against Utah and has won all four away games. Kick-off is scheduled for 1 p.m.
