Trailblazers Blank Fort Lewis Sunday, 3-0


Whitley Johns (Gilbert, Ariz./Campo Verde HS) scored twice and the Trailblazer defense posted its second-straight clean sheet as Dixie State shut out Fort Lewis, 3-0, Sunday afternoon at Trailblazer Stadium.

The Trailblazers (8-5-0/4-5-0 RMAC) got on the board early in the eighth minute when Taylor Claiborne (Peoria, Ariz./Raymond S. Kellis HS) picked off a Skyhawk goal kick and chipped a ball to a streaking Johns, who outran the defense and flicked a shot over a drawn out FLC goalkeeper to put her side up 1-0. It was Johns' second-straight game-winning goal and her team-high fourth of the season.

DSU tacked on a pair of second-half scores, the first came in the 49th-minute when Claiborne picked up her second assist of the day on a cross from deep on the left wing to Kelsey Cook (American Fork, Utah/American Fork HS) (5), whose 8-yard shot redirected off a Skyhawk defender and bounded into the right corner of the net. Johns (7) would strike again 20-plus minutes later from nearly the same spot on the field on a right-wing feed from Kilee Lamb-Allsop (Smithfield, Utah/Sky View HS).

The goal support was more than enough for the Trailblazer defense, which surrendered just one Fort Lewis (4-8-1/3-6-0 RMAC) shot attempt in the opening half and only five total shots in the match. Meanwhile DSU was credited with 20 shots, seven on frame, with Johns leading the way with three of her six shots on goal. Junior netminder Nicole Rahman (Palos Verdes, Calif./Palos Verdes HS) stopped all four Skyhawk shots on goal to collect her second-straight shutout result and fifth win on the season overall.

"Happy for the team that we could put together two good performances and get the results too," said DSU Head Coach Gerry Lucey. "We started brightly again today and were able to press high and win the ball further up the field. Definitely nice to see the team scoring again and being more productive in the offensive part of the field.

"Defensively we were sound with strong performances by Alexa [Ashton] and Nichole [Mertz], plus Kilee [Lamb-Allsop had an excellent weekend in the center midfield," Lucey added. "We were a little jaded in the second half but still managed to control the game and create. Plenty to work on going into two difficult games on the road. We will get back at it on Tuesday and try to improve on this weekend."

Dixie State closes the road portion of its 2018 regular season schedule next weekend with a match at New Mexico Highlands on Friday, Oct. 19, followed by the road finale at Colorado State-Pueblo on Sunday, Oct. 21.
