BYU Storylines
The Cougars tied Cal State Fullerton 1-1 last Friday at South Field. Senior forward Avery Walker scored BYU's lone goal in the 26th minute to put the Cougars ahead before Fullerton quickly answered with a goal of their own. Sophomore Elise Flake recorded the assist on the goal. Goalkeeper Hannah Clark recorded five saves and Lizzy Braby led all shooters with three shot attempts, including one on goal.
After dropping out of the polls this week, BYU continues to look for their first win of the 2017 season.
