10/7/2021 12:31:00 PM | Women's Soccer
The red hot Weber State Wildcats have scorched their way to three straight wins and have won four of their last five, the weekend they'll look to continue their stay atop the conference standings as they travel to Flagstaff, AZ to battle Northern Arizona and then Cedar City to tangle with Southern Utah.
The three-game streak for the Wildcats has given them a 6-5 record on the year while also being 3-0 in Big Sky play but the story for both the NAU Lumberjacks and SUU Thunderbirds hasn't been as pleasant. The Lumberjacks will enter the match with a 3-10 record and are 1-3 against conference opponents, meanwhile, SUU currently sits 1-10-1 record on the year and are 0-3-1 against Big Sky foes.
The magic for WSU began after returning home from Stillwater, OK where they had battled Oklahoma State tough but fell 1-0 in a match that could've gone either way. Then they beat both Idaho and Eastern Washington in stunning fashion by mounting comebacks from down 1-0 and winning 2-1 in back-to-back games.Â
Against Idaho, WSU saw goals from both Yira Yoggerst who was assisted by Morgan Furmaniak, and Taylor Slack who's assist came from Lauren McConnell. The goals against EWU came from Furmaniak who Yoggerst assisted and then an own goal after Harlee Turnbow fired a shot that hit the crossbar the went off the goalies back and in. Kaytlin Bradley was in the box against Idaho while Mekell Moss was the keeper against EWU and they were each was key to victory as neither of them allowed a second-half goal which allowed the 'Cats to tie the game but also eventually take the lead.Â
In their most recent outing, WSU thumped Idaho State 3-0 and only allowed ISU to get 2 shots off. The three scores came from Taylor Slack who opened then closed the scoring and Sadie Newsom who was assisted by Shea Christiansen.Â
This year's goal scorers have been Furmaniak (4), Slack (3), Yoggerst (1), Lily Webster (1), Newsom (1), McConnell (1), and Amy Kenney (1).
The Wildcats two-game road trip will kick off Friday against NAU at 8 P.M. MT and then will conclude on Sunday against SUU at 1 P.M.
