OREM, Utah -- Utah Valley scored four second half goals to run away from Houston Baptist, 4-0, in the Great West Conference opener for both teams. The game was a rematch of last season's tournament championship, a 1-0 win for the Wolverines (4-7-1, 1-0 GWC) over the Huskies (3-9-1, 0-1) in Newark, New Jersey.

Katey Turner assisted on the first two goals and Kelsey Kimball Cook scored the last two to help the Wolverines run their unbeaten streak in conference regular season and tournament games to 10.

"This team responds very well to conference play. It's a new chapter for us and this team really rises to the occasions," said UVU head coach Brent Anderson. "I'm really happy with them and they way they worked today."

The game was scoreless for 51 minutes until Turner found Nicole Archibald Spencer for her fifth goal of the season. Turner took a long goal kick from Lauren Sack and beat Huskies' keeper Shelby Horn before leading Spencer in front of the open net.

Less than three minutes later -- and off of a Turner corner kick -- Kendra Buchanan hit Andi Bagdan and from 35 yards out, the senior rifled the ball off of Horn and into the goal to make it 2-0.

Cook got her first goal of the day and season on a direct kick from the top of the box in the 72nd minute and then capped the day with her second goal on an assist from Ashley Burdett in the 78th minute.

The Wolverines had a big edge in total shots (22-7) and shots on goal (13-3). The Utah Valley defense picked up its fourth shutout of the season and kept HBU without a shot on goal throughout the second half.

The Wolverines are now 17-1-1 in their last 19 conference matches over the past three-plus seasons and lead the series with Houston Baptist 3-0-1.

UVU will begin a stretch of three home games in five days next week, starting Thursday, Oct. 14 with North Dakota. They'll also face South Dakota on Saturday, Oct. 16 at noon and North Dakota State in a non-conference match on Monday, Oct. 18 at noon.
