Junior forward Morgan Oliveira (Lemoore, Calif.) scored the `Dogs' first goal two minutes into the match. Oliveira received a beautiful cross from senior forward Jill Pearson (Garden Grove, Calif.) and then proceeded to knock it past the goalkeeper from five feet out. Just four minutes later at the 6-minute mark, Pearson scored the first of four goals she would score on the day. Pearson received a nice lead pass from junior midfielder Aimee Thompson (Simi Valley, Calif.) that she put past Weber State's junior goalkeeper Meagan Thunell. Two minutes later at the 8-minute mark, Pearson netted her second goal on a breakaway shooting it passed the charging Wildcat goalkeeper. Pearson scored her third for a hat trick at the 13-minute mark. Junior forward Reyna Green (Modesto, Calif.) fed Pearson with a stellar cross that she took straight to the goal on a breakaway. Weber State held the Bulldogs scoreless for the remaining 32 minutes of the first half.
