BYU Storylines

The Cougars tied Cal State Fullerton 1-1 last Friday at South Field.

Sophomore Elise Flake recorded the assist on the goal. Goalkeeper Hannah Clark recorded five saves and Lizzy Braby led all shooters with three shot attempts, including one on goal.

After dropping out of the polls this week, BYU continues to look for their first win of the 2017 season.
