Beckstrom streaked to beat her to the ball and kicked it just past her from 40 yards away, but it ended up just wide left.

The second chance came at 109:11 off a when DSC forward Camille Jensen (North Logan, UT/Sky View) perfectly placed corner kick was headed by Jennifer Mason (Springville, UT/Springville), but the attempt hit the crossbar and richocheted away from the goal.
