Teamwork Leads to 3-0 Shutout Over Gonzaga

Three different players scored for the Cougars Friday in a 3-0 victory over Gonzaga snapping the Bulldogs two-game winning streak.

Junior Jaime Rendich struck first for BYU in the 22nd minute for her team-leading fourth goal of the season. Sophomore Annie Zwahlen threw the ball into play that ricocheted off several players. Rendich got control of the ball just as defenders converged but was still able to get the shot off to put the Cougars up 1-0. Freshman Erika Woodbury kept the lead safe in the first half, diving to block multiple shots. BYU dominated offensively with a 10-3 advantage going into halftime.

Starting out the second half, Zwahlen scored her third goal of the season with 35 minutes remaining in regulation.

"We had a lot of people that stepped up and played well today," said head coach Jen Rockwood. "Many girls came off the bench and played big for us tonight. Hopefully this is a big confidence boost against a very good team."

In a game that 26 different Cougars got playing time, freshman Carolyn Swenson scored her first career goal on a botched Gonzaga defensive play. Swenson broke away from the defense but Gonzaga goalkeeper Ashley Haugen was there to make a sliding save before Swenson could get off the shot. Sticking with the play, Swenson fought for the ball back and shot the ball across the goal, finding the back corner.

After missing the first two games with a quad injury, Swenson said she feels great and is happy to be out there.

"It felt good to finally put one in," Swenson said.

The shutout is the second in a row for the Cougars and 46th total at South Stadium. BYU improves to 3-3 on the season and travels to Los Angeles Sept. 16 to face USC and Loyola Marymount on Sept. 18. Gonzaga, after getting off to the best start in school history, falls to 3-2.
