SPOKANE, Wash. - The Wyoming Cowgirls won their second straight game Sunday afternoon, defeating Gonzaga 1-0.
Senior Amanda Lathrop scored an early goal at the 8:32 mark for what proved to be the game-winner. The score came on a corner kick from sophomore Nichole Rice, and Lathrop put the ball into the right side of the net. Lathrop had three goals this weekend in the two wins.
“It was nice to get the early goal from Lathrop and play with a lead early in the game,” said UW head coach Danny Sanchez. “Our defense played well today. They were able to withstand the pressure that Gonzaga put on us after the early goal.”
Senior goalkeeper Jamie Scarcliff had three saves in the victory. Scarcliff and the rest of the Wyoming defense earned a pair of shutouts on the weekend road trip. The Cowgirls beat Idaho 3-0 on Friday.
“It’s great to win two games on the road against quality teams,” Sanchez said. “We played well in both games and I am pleased with our play.”
Wyoming will travel to Pocatello, Idaho for the Idaho State Classic next weekend. The Cowgirls will face Utah Valley State on Friday at 4 p.m., and then will play host school Idaho State on Sunday starting at 2 p.m.
