Laramie, Wyo. - Two second-half goals gave Wyoming a 2-0 win over Air Force in Mountain West Conference women's soccer action on Sunday, Oct. 19, at the University of Wyoming Soccer Stadium. The loss drops the Falcons to 6-8-1 on the season and 0-3 in MWC play.
Wyoming improved its record to 9-6 overall and an unblemished 4-0 mark in conference matches.
The Falcons and Cowgirls ended the first period in a 0-0 deadlock. Air Force managed to get off seven shots to the Cowgirls six going into halftime.
Wyoming got on the scoreboard with its first goal at the 50:40 spot in the second period. Mari Gomes found the back of the net on a great pass from Christine Nagel to put the Cowgirls up 1-0.
Wyoming put the game away three minutes later when Nagel deflected an Air Force goal kick and then proceeded to separated herself from two defenders and scored as Falcon goalkeeper J.J. Wolf came out of the box in an attempt to stop her.
Wolf had seven saves in the loss, while Cowgirl goalkeeper Lori Scheider had eight stops in the shutout win.
AFA took 11 shots in the match, with Meredith Benson leading the way with three shot attempts.
Air Force returns to action next weekend with a pair of MWC home matches against San Diego State and UNLV. The San Diego State match will kick-off Friday, Oct. 24 at 4 p.m. (MST) and the UNLV match is on Sunday, Oct. 26, at 11 a.m.
