Wildcats drop Big Sky heart-breaker to Bears
10/6/2019 4:52:00 PM | Women's Soccer
GREELY, CO – The Wildcats put up one of their best statistical performances of the season on Sunday afternoon, but ultimately came up just short.Â
Â
The Weber State University women's soccer team dropped a hard-fought 1-0 decision to Northern Colorado in Greely, despite racking up ten shots with over half on frame.
Â
The Wildcats (1-2-1 Big Sky, 2-9-1 overall) played very well throughout regulation play, earning over half of the possession against the Bears. WSU outshot the Bears in the second half, giving themselves many good opportunities to put a point on the board. However, at the end of 90 minutes, the game was tied 0-0 and forced into two, ten-minute golden-goal overtime periods.
Â
In the eighth minute of the first overtime period, Northern Colorado (2-0-2 Big Sky, 4-8-3 overall) forced a handball in the Wildcat's box to give the Bears a penalty kick. UNC's Olivia Seddon converted the PK to a goal to end the game 1-0 for the Bears.Â
Â
"High energy exciting games, like this one, are what conference play is all about. There is no doubt that we played well; there is no doubt that our girls left everything they had out on the field; and there is no doubt that if we continue to play that way, success will come. Ending on a PK is a hard loss to swallow. But we will use it to fuel us going forward," said Interim Head Coach Meagan Thunell.Â
Â
Up next, the Weber State women's soccer team will host Idaho on Friday, October 11th at 7:00 pm MDT, and Eastern Washington on Sunday, October 13th at 12:00 pm MDT at Wildcat Soccer Field in Ogden, Utah.
