Laramie, Wyo (Oct. 21, 2000) -- Two goals in each half was more than enough for BYU's 15th ranked women's soccer team to pick up its first MWC regular season title with the 4-1 victory over Wyoming, Saturday.

The win extends the Cougars record to 14-3-1, 6-0 on the year, while the Cowgirls fall to 7-8-1, 0-5.

Sarah Higham got the BYU offense going in first half action after getting a pass from teammate Farrah Hofheins five and a half minutes into the game, although Wyoming had already picked up a point from Sara Stephens just three minutes earlier. It would be the Cowgirls lone goal in the afternoon contest.

Jeni Willardson gave the visiting Cougars a 2-1 advantage at half time with her goal about five minutes after Higham's score. Aleisha Cramer and Janet Jensen extended the BYU lead to 4-1 with their unassisted goals in the 65th minute of play and at the 81st minute mark of the game.

"We were able to pick up the win today after a very physical game," said Cougar head coach Jennifer Rockwood. "I was impressed with the way we hung in there today, because we had some struggles."

"We were able to reach our first goal which was to win the regular conference season. I'm pleased with our level of play and our total team effort," added Rockwood.

BYU outshot Wyoming 29-9 in the contest. The Cougars take their final road trip to Arizona with a game against Minnesota on Thursday, Oct. 26 and a matchup against the University of Arizona on Oct. 28.
