Bulldogs Defeat Utah, Lose Heartbreaker in Overtime to BYU
The Bulldogs got on the board early and managed to keep Utah at bay as they earned a 2-0 victory over the Utes last Thursday. Senior forward Cheryl Gano scored off an assist by freshman Andrea Morelock at 1:43 in the match to give the 'Dogs a 1-0 lead. Junior goalkeeper Jennifer Johnstone and the rest of the 'Dogs managed to keep the Utes scoreless as freshman Aimee Thompson scored an insurance goal with 20 seconds remaining in the match to seal the 2-0 victory.
Against BYU the 'Dogs were able to keep the high-powered Cougars in check during regulation time. Johnstone had eight saves in the match, including two key punch-outs that kept BYU from scoring. The game remained in a 0-0 deadlock until Cougar forward Shauna Rohbock scored two minutes into the overtime period. The loss dropped Fresno State's record to 6-7-3 and 2-2-1 in the WAC.
