Aquino Scores Hat Trick

Image

Provo, Utah (Sept. 2, 2005) -- Freshman Jessica Aquino scored twice in the first half and once in the second to pick up her first collegiate hat trick to help BYU (3-0-0) secure victory over Weber State, 5-1.

"It was a great team effort win for us," said head coach Jennifer Rockwood. "I've been really pleased with our effort and attitude. I am pleased with how our players approach the game, wanting to get better each and every game."

2,158 fans were on hand to watch the Cougars in their home opener. The attendance is the fifth highest in BYU history and third highest for home openers.

The first few minutes was a tough offensive battle with both teams having point blank opportunities, but neither team able to capitalize.

Then freshman Jessica Aquino checked into the game.

Almost instantly Aquino received a pass from Annie Zwahlen in the midst of several players, somehow finding room. Her shot soared just past the goalkeeper's outstretched hands. The goal marked the first of the game, as well as the first of career.

Aquino then stole the ball from a Weber State player and again shot the ball past the goalie's fingertips. Fourteen seconds later Jaime Rendich Beck dribbled past a Weber State defender, leaving only the goalkeeper between Beck and the goal. She drew the goalie out and then dribbled right in for her first goal of the season.

Near the end of the first half, Haylee Cuthbert received the ball 30 yards out and shot a beautiful, high-arching crosskick past the goalie.

The third goal of Aquino's career, a header, came at the beginning of the second half off a pass from Bobbi Tillotson.

Rockwood was visibly thrilled with Aquino's play and excited she earned a hat trick in only her third game as a collegiate player.

"She had a great practice the last couple of days and was scoring a lot of goals, so we thought she deserved to get into the lineup early," said Rockwood. "Then she went out and scored two goals in thirteen minutes. That's exactly what she's been doing in practice."

The Cougars next game is on Monday against Utah State. Game time is slated for 8 p.m., at South Stadium.

Looking to Mess with Utah Teams

Image

Provo, Utah (Aug. 31, 2005) -- The Cougars (2-0-0) return home to Provo on Friday to face a talented Weber State University (1-1-0) squad in the first of a four-game home stand. BYU will then look for its fourth win against in-state rival Utah State on Monday. The games will be played at South Stadium with game times slated for 7 p.m. and 8 p.m., respectively.

Coming into this week, the Weber State Wildcats have compiled a 1-1-0 record. The matchup with the Cougars will be their third road game in a row, with two more on the way, before returning to Ogden.

Weber State University opened up the 2005 regular season with a strong defensive effort, which paid off with a 1-0 win over Utah Valley State College. The Wildcat defense held UVSC to only five shots for the game, all of which came in the second half. The Wildcats then fell to Arizona State, 5-2, on Sunday despite a pair of career-first goals and 10 saves from senior goalkeeper Kandice Golar.

The Utah State Aggies, who struggle through a tough weekend by losing one game and tying the other, face BYU for their first road game of the season. In their season opener, Utah State fell to Gonzaga, 2-1. The game on Sunday against in-state rival Southern Utah ended in a 1-1 draw. Sophomore Dana Peart scored Utah State's lone goals in both games.

BYU leads the series against Weber State 8-0, as well as Utah State 2-0.
