Cowgirls Return on the Road

October 17, 2014

The University of Wyoming women’s soccer team (7-6-1, 5-1-0 MW) will return on the road at Fresno State and San Jose State this weekend. The Cowgirls will play Fresno State on Friday at 7 p.m. MT and Sunday at San Jose State at noon. The Cowgirls are coming off two-consecutive wins this past weekend at home against Colorado College and Air Force.  UW’s freshman forward Kaitlyn Lomsnes scored three of her team-leading six goals last weekend and has three assists on the season.

“Fresno is 2-1 in its last three games and San Jose has some good results at home,” UW head coach Pete Cuadrado said. “Every Mountain West game is a tough game, especially when you get on the road. We will approach every game with a business mentality and bring the same level of play to each game.”

Last time vs. Fresno State: Wyoming trails in the series, 0-2-1, with last meeting on Oct. 18, 2013, for a scoreless draw. In that match-up, UW recorded a season-high of 19 shots and controlled the match, limiting the Bulldogs to five shots.

The Bulldogs fell 2-1 in overtime to Utah State on Sunday at the Chuck and Gloria Bell Field in Logan, Utah.  Fresno State notched its first goal 19 minutes into the second half, but the Aggies found a goal with six minutes left in the match to send the game into overtime. Utah State sealed the deal with a goal after seven minutes of overtime.

Last time vs. San Jose State: UW notched its first win in the series in the last meeting on Oct. 20, 2013, with a 1-0 victory at the Louis S. Madrid Sport Complex in Laramie. Wyoming found its goal in the 46th minute off a cross from the left side for a shot 10 yards out.  The Cowgirls outshot the Spartans 13-8 and defense proved to be the difference with a Wyoming’s shutout.

The Spartans notched a 1-0 victory over Boise State last Sunday at the Boas Soccer Complex in Boise, Idaho. San Jose State scored after a Boise State foul in the 58th minute, serving a free kick into the box for a header to beat the keeper. San Jose State outshot the Broncos 14-13 for the win.
