FRESNO, Calif. (Oct. 12, 2018) – The Wyoming soccer team (8-3-4 overall, 3-2-2 MW) ended in a 0-0 draw after 110 minutes of action with the Fresno State Bulldogs (3-9-3, 2-3-2 MW) on Friday night.

Fresno State got an early look at the goal in the seventh minute with a shot by Megan Amick but it would sail high. The Cowgirls had a number of chances including a header by Taylor Burton at the 18:19 mark that required a one handed save by Nicole Theroux. Around the 29^th minute, the Bulldogs had another flurry of shots with two of them going wide and one blocked. Wyoming continued to have opportunities down the stretch in the first half with five looks at the goal in the final seven minutes. Unfortunately, they couldn’t connect and it would be 0-0 at the half. UW had ten shots compared to five by Fresno State.

Each team had two early shots out of the break, but again none of them connected. Around the 60 minute mark, Fresno State got aggressive and really pushed the pace. They would record five of the next six shots over ten minutes. Again, neither team had any luck getting it past either goalkeeper. Despite being outshot 9-4 in the half, the Cowgirls would head in to overtime still tied with the Bulldogs 0-0.

It was a fairly quiet ten minutes in the first overtime. Wyoming had two chances by Brittney Stark and Caitlin Pickett which were both saved by Theroux. Fresno State had a couple looks as well, but neither were successful. The next ten minutes proved to be unsuccessful for either squad to get a score and the game ended in a 0-0 tie after 110 minutes.

“I thought we had good energy today,” head coach Pete Cuadrado said. “When you take 17 shots, it was disappointing to not get any results from it. I thought their goalkeeper made a couple of big saves that kept them in the game. We need to be a little more clinical in our finishing. The opportunities were there in the game, but we need to regroup and get three points on Sunday against a very good San Jose State team. We will get back after it, keep up the intensity and clean up things in the attacking third.”

Juniors Summer Taube and Michaela Stark each had a team-high three shots while three others had two. Burton, Alyssa Murray and Savannah Warner each logged 110 minutes a piece. Goalie Hannah Lee had three saves in 65 minutes of action. Fresno State outshot the Cowgirls 18-17 and goalie Theroux had seven saves.

Wyoming returns to the pitch on Sunday against the San Jose State Spartans. The match is scheduled for 1 p.m. MT in San Jose.
