Women's Soccer Season Ends with 2-1 loss to Azusa Pacific Saturday

Trailblazers close out their final PacWest season with 12 wins


Dixie State ended its 2017 season on a sour note as the Trailblazers dropped a 2-1 Senior Night decision to Azusa Pacific on Saturday at Legend Solar Stadium. DSU closed the year with a 12-6-0 overall record, which included a t-sixth place finish in its final year of Pacific West Conference play at 8-5-0 (24 points).

The Trailblazers took an early 1-0 lead at the 9:53 mark of the first half when freshman Tori Page (Centerville, Utah/Viewmont HS) picked up her eighth goal of the year on a 30-yard blast set up by Kilee Lamb (Smithfield, Utah/Sky View HS) feed. APU (9-5-2/9-2-2 PacWest) netted the equalizer nearly five minutes on a Stephanie Lossau penalty kick following a DSU handball foul inside the Trailblazer penalty area.

Lossau would strike again six-plus minutes later when she finished a center ball played in by Katelyn Rogers from 8-yards out to give the Cougars a one-goal advantage.

DSU, which was credited with 10 of its 20 shots on goal, had plenty of chances to pull even over the final 69 minutes of play, but could not find the back of the net. Senior Darian Murdock (Herriman, Utah/Herriman HS) just missed on a pair of shot attempts midway through the first half, while a Jill Bennett (Salt Lake City, Utah/East HS) header moments before the halftime horn was stopped by Cougar netminder Zoey Bauman.

Dixie State tallied five more shots on goal in the second stanza, but Bauman managed to turn away each Trailblazer attempt to secure the win for her side.

"We played a really good game tonight and deserved a better result," DSU Head Coach Kacey Bingham said. "It was a great season and we had a great team. Our seniors have been awesome all year."

Murdock, who finished with a DSU single-season record 19 goals and 42 career goals over her four seasons in a DSU kit, tallied a match-high six shot attempts, two on frame, while Page was credited with three attempts. The 12 Trailblazer wins this season are the most in Coach Bingham's five-year tenure at DSU.
