Aggies beat Utah Valley 2-1 in OT
Junior midfielder Kendra Pemberton broke the 1-1 deadlock in the 96th minute to give Utah State the 2-1 victory over Utah Valley at Clyde Field in Orem, Utah on Sunday.
Defender Taryn Rose served a free kick into the box, where Pemberton buried a header past UVU keeper Jessica Duffin to give the Aggies the golden goal win.
The first half ended in a 1-nill lead for Utah State, the only goal a shot to the upper 90 by sophomore forward Jade Tarver in the 28th minute.
Utah Valley equalized in the 78th minute when Wolverine forward Regan Benson made the only blemish in Aggie senior keeper Ashlyn Mulford’s otherwise clean sheet and sent the match into overtime.
The Aggies, now 4-1-1, will head to Portland, Ore. to face Eastern Washington and Portland State in the Portland State Viking Classic from Sept. 7-9.
