Utah Tech women's soccer opened conference play with yet another win, beating Stephen F. Austin 2-0 for the team's fifth straight win and shutout.

What Head Coach Molly Rouse said: Today was an awesome way for the team to begin our WAC campaign. We knew coming in to the match, SFA would be tough to break down, which would place a high priority on our ability to finish on set pieces. It was excellent to see the group take pride in our execution in the final third, while working hard to limit chances against. We are excited to start our conference season off on a strong note and look forward to another solid team competition against UTRGV on Sunday.

HOW IT HAPPENED: Utah Tech women's soccer came out attacking early on, it took just 13 minutes to find the opening goal on the night. The Trailblazers earned a corner kick that the Lumberjacks were unable to clear. After the Lumberjacks failed to clear their lines, the Trailblazers pounced on the opportunity and Karli Nyland netted the first goal of the night. This was Nyland's second goal in two games.

Just two minutes later, the Trailblazers forced a nearly identical breakdown. After earning another corner kick, Nyland was able to fight her way through the box and tap in a second goal on the night. Nyland now has four goals on the season.

The Trailblazers fought for another goal before the half but went into the halftime break holding their 2-0 lead.
