Red Storm cruise to 4-0 win over Argos

Offense and defense balance in shutout

ST. GEORGE, Utah – Three different goal scorers and a clean sheet in net powered Dixie State to a 4-0 shutout win over Notre Dame de Namur on Thursday night at Hansen Stadium. The Red Storm has won four of their last five matches improving to 6-5-1 overall and 4-2 in Pacific West Conference action.
 
Dixie State held a 16-9 shot advantage over the Argonauts (3-9, 1-5 PacWest) and managed four corner kicks to compared to one from the visitors.
 
The Storm offense got off to a fast start, as junior Erica Gonzalez (Avondale, AZ/Westview) netted the opening goal to the left side of the net after taking a pretty pass from Mindi Beckstrom (Nibley, UT/Mountain Crest).
 
Even with the early score, it was the Storm stopping ability that impressed head coach Kacey Bingham.
 
"I was really impressed with our defensive efforts tonight," she said. "Individuals are really starting to step up their performances. I think we are making big improvements each game we play."
 
Those improvements held NDNU to five shots in the first half and only four more in the second half.
 
Jennifer Mason (Springville, UT/Springville), the current PacWest Player of the Week, went to work in the second half with an assist on a 58th minute goal from Darian McCloy (Herriman, UT/Herriman). Mason's middle pass left McCloy open at the top of the box for a shot that slid just under the crossbar.
 
In the span of two minutes later in the second half, Mason went from goal-helper to goal scorer. In the 71st minute, Montana Tanner (Centerville, UT/Viewmont) set up Mason just to the right side of the box. Mason blasted a shot inside the left post for a 3-0 lead. On the very next shot, Mason found herself in the exact same spot, this time after a pass from Gonzalez. Seeing a shot to the left work previously, Mason fired a similar shot for her second goal of the match and the ninth of the season.
 
The defense and solid goalkeeping from Stacie Gubler (Las Vegas, NV/Palo Verde) left NDNU without a shot over the final five minutes to close the shutout. For Gubler, it's her second solo clean sheet of the year.
 
Dixie State closes out a weekend homestand with a match Saturday night at 7 p.m. against Holy Names.
