Aggie soccer wins second-straight at home

Utah State held onto a first-half lead to beat Colorado College by a score of 3-2 on Sunday.

“It was a really good win,” said USU head coach Heather Cairns. “I thought we played really well against a really good team. We did enough to win.”

The Aggies went into the half with a one goal lead. USU and CC traded goals in the second half as each team found the back of the net twice in the 45-minute span.

“We worked really hard to capitalize on the moments, and it was a well-earned result,” Cairns said. “We just didn’t panic. Colorado College is a very good team, and neither team stopped playing the game. We tried to stick with what worked.”

Junior forward Jessica Brooksby scored two of the goals in the game and sophomore Wesley Hamblin on the other. With the two scores Brooksby’s goal total for the season climbed to 10.

Senior goalkeeper Jeannie Woller had six saves in the game.

USU is tied for fourth in conference play with the wins. They are three games out of first place. The conference is lead by San Diego State and San Jose State. USU defeated SJSU and lost to SDSU this season already.

The Aggies swept the weekend with a win against Air Force on Friday by a score of 2-0. With the wins USU improves their overall record to 9-7-1 and 4-4 in Mountain West play.

Utah State goes on the road this weekend for two games at Colorado State and at Wyoming before finishing the season at home on Oct. 30 against Boise State.
