Three different players score, defense earns third SO of season
LOGAN, Utah - Utah Soccer turned in another impressive performance with a 3-0 win at Utah State this afternoon. Hailey Skolmoski, Natalie Vukic and Eden Jacobsen all tallied and the Ute defense notched its third shutout in four contests this season.
Â
After USU notched the first shot of the game, Taylor Slattery forced a save from Grace McGuire. Utah finally got on the board in the 25th minute after a couple of chances narrowly missed the goal.
Â
Slattery stole the ball on the right side and passed to Jacobsen in the middle of the field. She slotted a pass to Skolmoski who knocked home her fourth goal in as many games for a 1-0 edge.
Â
One minute later, Utah doubled its advantage thanks to a fantastic effort from Vukic After dispossessing a USU player around midfield; she dribbled up the far side, passed an Aggie defender and fired in her first goal of the season.
Â
Jacobsen and Tavia Leachman both tested McGuire before the half and Max Flom had an attempt blocked by an onrushing defender.
Â
Flom had Utah's first scoring chance in the second half before Carly Nelson was called into action. The freshman, making her first start, stopped Danielle Nowers.
Â
The third Ute goal arrived on the hour when Jacobsen was in the right place at the right time to rebound a try from Slattery that had initially been saved.
Â
Nelson held on to a Jessica Brooksby effort in the 72nd minute and then made a diving stop on Brooksby five minutes later to preserve the shutout.
Â
Utah plays again Tuesday morning at 11 a.m. against Beijing Normal University. The match will be broadcast on the Pac-12 Networks. The next regular season game for Utah is on Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 5 at 3:30 vs. BYU at Ute Field.
