PROVO -- In the BYU women's soccer team's (14-2-2, 4-2-0) last home game of the season, freshman Kassidy Christensen scored her third game-winning goal in as many games in a 1-0 win over New Mexico (7-5-4, 1-3-2) Saturday at South Stadium.
Recording assists on the goal were senior Jessica Aquino-Greenfield (1) and junior Katie Larkin (5). Christensen's goal was her sixth of the year, which is second most on the team. Larkin's fifth assist leads the team. Senior goalkeeper Erika Woodbury recorded her 11th shutout of the season, which is one away from the single-season record she set last year.
"This was a must win game for us tonight to insure a spot in the Mountain West Conference Tournament," BYU head coach Jennifer Rockwood said. "We're a possession team, but sometimes to a fault. Tonight we were more direct and it was one of our better performances."
With twenty minutes left in the game New Mexico was assessed a yellow card just outside the BYU penalty area. The free kick was forwarded to freshman Nicole Urry on the left side at midfield, and then to freshman Becca Riddle.
Riddle pushed the ball up to Aquino-Greenfield who dribbled between defenders and threaded the ball to Larkin. Larkin one-touched it to Christensen in front of the goal, and Christensen drilled it to the back of the net.
"I'm not as scared out there as I used to be," Christensen said. "I think I probably had a little too much adrenaline out there, but it was great to get another goal and another win."
When all was said and done, Larkin led all shooters with five shots and four on goal. Christensen followed with three shots and two on goal. In total, BYU outshot UNM 17-5. The Cougar defense held the Lobos to only one shot on goal as a team.
The Cougars will play their last game of the season at UNLV Friday before returning home to host the MWC Tournament Nov. 7-10.

PROVO -- The No. 21 BYU women's soccer team (12-2-2, 2-2-0) will go on the road to face Wyoming (7-8-0, 2-2-0) on Thursday at 3 p.m. and host New Mexico (7-4-3, 1-2-1) on Saturday at 7 p.m. for Senior Night.
The Cougars are ranked sixth in the nation in goals-against average (.422), are tied for tenth in save percentage(.881), and are tied for tenth in shutout percentage (.625). They are also tied for 12th in won-loss-tied percentage (.813).
Wyoming junior Tamika Wilson scored her team-leading eighth goal of the year and 16th of her career during last Friday's win against TCU. The Cowgirls are averaging 14.1 shots per game and have scored 20 goals this season.
Last week, Lobo junior goalkeeper Shannon Adragna recorded 13 saves to shutout Utah, the highest scoring team in the conference. It was her fifth shutout of the season. Freshman Alexis Ball leads the team in goals with six, and junior Hannah Hand leads the team in assists with seven.
Saturday's match will be BYU's last home match before the conference tournament is held in Provo Nov. 7-10. It will be "Bring-a-Friend Night" when two fans can get into the event with one All-Sports Pass.
