Jepson Leads to 5-Goal Road Victory

Image

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - Behind two goals from junior transfer Colette Jepson, the BYU women's soccer team(10-4-3, 4-1-1) stole a 5-1 victory on the road against the University of San Francisco, Thursday. 

Jepson's two goals led the team on offense with Jennie Marshall's team-high five shots, and a goal of her own, adding to the attack. Six other players for BYU also took at least one shot on the night. Kayla Varner, Jessica Ringwood, Carlee Payne and Lindsi Lisonbee all contributed one with Kyleigh Royall adding two and Jepson adding three for a team total of 14. 

It didn't take long for the Cougars to get on the board first as Jepson netted goal one off an assist from teammates Lisonbee and Payne just three minutes into the game. Lisonbee was the second to score for BYU at the opposite end of the first half, off a free kick with seven seconds left before the break. 

The Dons also got on the board in the first half with a goal in the 42nd minute from Megan Connor. Connor was one of five players for San Francisco to contribute at least one shot for a team total of six in the 90 minutes played. 

Jepson started the second half the same way she began the game, scoring BYU's third goal in the 68th minute off an assist from teammate Lauren Anderson Cosby. An own goal in the 70th minute put the Cougars up 4-1 and Marshall finished off the evening with an unassisted goal in the 87th minute to give BYU the 5-1 victory. 

The Cougars play their next game back home on South Field against the University of San Diego on Saturday, Oct. 29, at 1 p.m. MT. The contest is the final home game of the regular season and will also be Senior Day.

Away on Thursday & Final Home Game on Saturday

Image

The BYU women's soccer team will play two of its last three games of the season this week starting Thursday, Oct. 27, on the road against San Francisco at 7 p.m. PT and at home on Saturday, Oct. 29, against San Diego at 1 p.m. MT.

Saturday's game will be the final home game of the 2011 campaign and, therefore, will also be Senior Day to honor this year's five seniors. The seniors on this year's squad are McKinzie Olson, Lauren Anderson Cosby, Jennie Marshall, Megan Fereday and Nicole Ernst Jackson.

The Cougars are riding a three-game unbeaten streak with a 9-4-3 overall record. In its first season as a WCC member, the team has gone 3-1-1 in conference play to earn itself a fourth-place standing with just three more league games to go. In all games, BYU is out-shooting its opponents 262 to 160. 

Marshall's five goals currently lead the team in that category while teammate Colette Jepson leading the team's shot category with 51. Eight different players for BYU have recorded shots in double figures and 12 players have scored at least one goal this season. Behind Marshall, Carlee Payne and Jaiden Thornock follow with four goals each to add to a team total of 27 goals this year. The Cougars are 19-1-1 all-time when Payne scores at least one time in a game.

San Francisco has accumulated a 4-11-0 overall record and a 2-3-0 record in conference play. The Cougars and Dons have met once before, in 2006, on BYU's field but never before in Don territory. Hanna Haanes and Molly Hall lead the offense for San Fran on four goald and 26 shots, respectively. Seven players have contributed goals for the Dons this season.

San Diego will come to Provo with a 9-7-0 overall record and a 4-1-0 record in conference play, currently ranking them third in the WCC. Senior Stephanie Ochs leads almost every statistical category for the Toreros with eight goals and 53 shots on the season. San Diego is riding a four-game winning streak and will play at Gonzaga on Thursday before coming to Provo. 

Live stats are available for both games through the BYU women's soccer schedule page and BYU radio will broadcast Saturday's game live here
