AGGIE HOT SHOTS
Senior Marnie Bartelson (Coupeville, Wash.) scored USU's lone goal in the Aggies 2-1 loss to Weber State last week. Bartelson's goal is her fourth of the season and the 11th of her career.
USU IN THE BIG WEST RANKING
Freshman Ally Clegg (Bountiful, Utah) is tied for eighth among individual scorers in the Big West averaging .80 points per game. Clegg is also fourth in assists (4) and 11th in points scored (8) in the conference standings.
Senior Marnie Bartelson (Coupeville, Wash.) ranks seventh in the Big West among individual scorers averaging .90 points per game. She is also tied for fifth in the conference in goals on the year, with four.
The Aggies are third in the Big West in total team offense, averaging 1.6 goals per game.
USU VS. WEBER STATE GAME RECAP
For the first time in two years Utah State's women's soccer team lost to in-state rival Weber State by a score of 2-1, Oct. 3.
"I think that we dominated them in the beginning but we just have to go for the kill," said head coach Stacey Enos. "The reason we lost is that we are too passive stepping to the ball and putting pressure on the ball. You can't be a step behind on this quick of a team, and I think that's what cost us the game."
The Aggies controlled the game in the first 25 minutes of play as senior Marnie Bartelson scored at the 5:34 mark. USU stayed in the lead for almost twenty minutes until WSU junior Shay Hansen scored off an assist from sophomore Eleshia Miltenberger in the 35th minute of play. Energized by it's last goal Weber State took control of the game and scored its second goal four minutes later. Freshman Deanna Petersen found the net and Miltenberger was again credited with the assist at 38:46.
The second half was a battle between both teams as each took eight shots at the net but neither could manage a score, leaving the Aggies with their second loss in as many games.
"Our midfield got popped and our forwards weren't helping out," said Enos. "We didn't come out with the intensity that we needed in the second half."
