PROVO -- The No. 10 BYU women’s soccer team (6-0-1) kept its undefeated season alive with the 2-1 victory over the Marquette Golden Eagles (3-3-2) Saturday on South Field.

"We knew we'd be really anxious to score in this game," said BYU head coach Jennifer Rockwood. "We said right before the game that since we coudln't come up with a goal on Thursday we were definitely due for one here tonight and the girls delivered that for us. Marquette is an extremely talented, and tough, team and they played well tonight."

The Cougars got on the board first, netting a quick score in just the first minute. Sophomore Lindsi Lisonbee knocked in the goal for BYU with a header off a corner kick from junior Lauren Anderson. The goal was Lisonbee’s second of the season.

"Lindsi's so great at getting those balls in the air and finishing for us," Rockwood said. "She made sure we got on the board quickly tonight."

BYU added to the score in the 35th minute from freshman Lynda Hercules off of an assist from sophomore Carlee Payne. The goal was Hercules' first goal of her collegiate career. Hercules had entered the game as a substitute just one minute prior to the score.

The first half ended in a 2-0 BYU lead with the Golden Eagles looking for the comeback. BYU was able to edge out that threat with keeper McKinzie Olson coming up with some big saves throughout the first and second half. Olson finished with four saves on the night.

The Cougars almost added to their score late in the second half when Hercules had another chance at an open goal, but the shot was deflected by Marquette’s Kerry Mcbride.

Marquette cranked up the intensity in the second half and got within one goal of BYU's total with its first goal of the night. In the 83rd minute Rachel Brown netted a score for the Golden Eagless off an assist from Katie Hishmeh.

The Cougars went back on the offense and deflected anymore attempts by the Golden Eagles.

Junior Jennie Marshall led BYU with four shots on goal while sophomore Lindsi Lisonbee and senior Kassidy Shumway added two apiece. The team took 13 total shots during the game.

Up next for the Cougars is a trip to Texas, starting next Saturday, Sept. 18, against the Rice Owls and finishing Monday, Sept. 20, against the Texas Longhorns.

Two More Home Games This Week

Image

PROVO -- The No. 10 BYU women's soccer team will face two competitive soccer programs this week, starting Thursday against LSU and continuing on Saturday against Marquette as they seek to defend their undefeated 5-0 record.

Both games will be played on South Field with a 7 p.m. kick-off. Live stats are available for both games through the women's schedule page with Thursday's game also being aired live on BYUtv and Saturday's match aired live on BYU Radio.

In conjunction with Thursday's game, the Cougars are teaming up with the Utah Youth Soccer Association to celebrate Youth Soccer Month.

The event begins with a FREE CLINIC from 5:30-6:30 at Hawes Field (west of Indoor Practice Facility). All youth ages 4-18 are admitted to the clinic, run by Utah Youth Soccer coaches and professional soccer players. The first 200 youth are admitted for FREE to the BYU vs LSU game at 7 p.m. All youth wearing a UYSA jersey are admitted for $1.

Bring the whole family, for prizes, halftime contests and food during the game.

Youth Soccer Month is dedicated to increasing awareness of the benefits of playing youth soccer in America. The Cougars are proud to support this effort and further the work of the Utah Youth Soccer Association.

Come see the Cougars, and celebrate the No. 1 youth sport in America, on South Field.

The Cougars are starting this season with their best record since the 2005 campaign when they started on a 9-0 streak. With two games on the road, three at home and two wins over Top-25 ranked teams, BYU finds itself with its highest ranking this season at No. 10 in this week's Soccer America poll.

MWC Offensive Player of the Week Jennie Marshall leads BYU's offense with six goals and 16 shots. Marshall received her first career Player of the Week award and was named to two National Teams of the Week after her performance last week in helping BYU bring home two more victories.

The LSU Tigers come to Provo for the first time on a three-game losing streak with a 1-3-0 record this year after its most recent 0-1 loss to Virginia Tech. LSU was selected to finish second in the Western Division of the SEC in this year’s preseason coaches poll with four first-place votes coming their way.

The Marquette Golden Eagles will also play on South Field for the first time this week and are traveling with a 3-2-1 record. The Golden Eagles were selected to finish first in the American Division of the Big East Conference in this year’s preseason coaches poll.

BYU met both of these teams on the road last year, finishing a combined 0-2 against them.

After this week, BYU will play two games in Texas and one in Logan, Utah, before returning to South Field on Sept. 29 against Idaho State.
