PROVO -- Forwards Kassidy Christensen and Lauren Anderson scored in the first half to help BYU to a 2-0 win over San Diego State in chilly conditions on Saturday afternoon.
“I think we’re moving in the right direction,” said head coach Jennifer Rockwood. “I’m pleased with the way we set the tone in the first half.”
Christensen started the scoring at the 13:24 mark after Kelsea Kakadelas tapped an Anderson corner kick to her in the middle of the box.
Anderson scored the second goal from about twenty yards out when she blasted the through a crowd of players in the box past the diving SDSU keeper.
After controlling the momentum for most of the half, the Cougars took the 2-0 lead into half time. BYU’s defense limited the Aztecs to two shots in the first half. The Cougars had ten shots during the first 45 minutes.
San Diego state applied pressure in the second half, recording three shots, but the Cougar defense did not allow a goal.
Freshman keeper McKinzie Olson continued her strong play in goal, notching three saves.
With the win, BYU improves to 10-5-0 (3-0 MWC), while the Aztecs drop to 4-8-2 (0-3 MWC). The Cougars’ 3-0 MWC start is their best since they went undefeated in conference play (8-0) in 2002. The team has not allowed a goal in MWC play. BYU is undefeated (6-0) at South Field in 2008.
“We’re happy to be 3-0 in conference,” said Rockwood. “But we’ve got to come out and work hard like we have been all season and get ready for next week."
