In Case You Missed It
PULLMAN, Wash. – Despite dominating the day at Lower Soccer Field, the No. 21 Washington State soccer team (2-0-0) needed extra time to come away with their second win of the season as a goal in the 92' gave the Cougars a 1-0 win over Grand Canyon University (0-2-0) in front of 1,075 fans on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Filling up the stat sheet with a lopsided performance, the Cougars amassed 24 shots in an assault of the Lopes' goal while allowing just two shots on the other end. With near misses throughout the initial 90 minutes of action, freshman
Molly Myers put an end to madness just minutes into the first overtime when she tucked in her first career goal off a short cross from senior
Maddy Haro. Myers had nearly put the Cougars on the board earlier in the game when she was robbed by the woodwork in the 71'. She finished the game with three shots. Junior
Morgan Weaver finished the day with seven shots, including a close call early in the game at the 5', when she forced a save from Lopes' keeper Abby Burton.
Stat of the Game
