LARAMIE -- Senior defender Jessica Carter scored her second goal in a BYU uniform to help BYU defeat Wyoming 1-0 in Laramie on Saturday.
Both teams fought through the first half to establish some momentum. BYU had five shots before the break to Wyoming's four.
Carter's goal came in the 79th minute, when she blasted a long shot from about 30 yards out that the Wyoming keeper was unable to control. The ball slid past the goalie and into the net for the game-winning goal.
Neither team was able to be very dominant in the game. Wyoming outshot the Cougars 7-9, and had two more shots on goal 6-4, but wasn't able to score.
Freshman keeper McKinzie Olson was again strong in goal with six saves, three in each half in the shutout win.
With the win, BYU moves to 15-5-0 (7-0, MWC), while Wyoming drops to 8-10-1 (2-5, MWC).
The victory concludes the regular season for the Cougars, and they now look ahead to the Mountain West Conference tournament. BYU finished a perfect 7-0 in league play, outscoring their opponents 16-1. The team is currently on a nine-game winning streak, the longest since the team opened the 2005 season with a nine-game streak. BYU also clinched its first outright regular season conference championship since 2002, the last time the Cougars went undefeated in MWC play.
The 2008 MWC Women’s Soccer Tournament will be held in Las Vegas from Wednesday, Nov. 5 to Saturday, Nov. 8. The championship game will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. Entering the tournament as the number one seed, the Cougars will see their first action on Thursday, Nov. 6. Game times will be announced Monday, Nov. 3.
