Another 2OT Tie for BYU and Air Force

For the sixth time this season, 90 minutes just weren't enough to decide the outcome of a BYU women's soccer game. After double overtime, BYU and Air Force ended the game Saturday at Cadet Stadium tied 1-1.

The team leader this season in goals scored for the Cougars, junior Jaime Rendich recorded her seventh goal of the season in the 81st minute on a shot in traffic from five yards out. Junior Davia King made her first assist of the season. Less than two minutes later, Air Force came right back and tied the game 1-1 on a shot by Brittney Perkowski, assisted by Elaine Tatarek. Both defenses played strong in the closing minutes, pushing the game into overtime.

After multiple scoring opportunities for both teams during the overtime periods, the score remain tied 1-1. The Cougar defense played solid throughout the night anchored by freshman keeper Erika Woodbury, who finished with three saves. BYU outshot Air Force 22-5 in the game. With three games remaining, the Cougars are looking to finish strong in preparation for the Mountain West Conference tournament.

"Our backs are up against the wall right now," said head coach Jennifer Rockwood. "We are still looking for more consistency and if we can find it, we'll have a good chance of ending this season on a positive note."

Conference play continues as BYU (5-8-4 and 1-0-2 in MWC) faces Wyoming Thursday at 3 p.m. in Laramie. The Cougars play New Mexico Saturday, Oct. 23 at 11 a.m. in Albuquerque for the fourth of a five game road trip to end the regular season.
