BYU Shuts Out Falcons, 3-0

Oct. 24, 2009

BYU scored three second-half goals Friday night to capture a 3-0 victory over Air Force in a Mountain West Conference women's soccer game Saturday evening at Cadet Soccer Stadium. With the victory, BYU improved to 14-2-2 overall and stayed unbeaten at 5-0-1 within the conference, while the Falcons fell to 2-14-1 and 0-6 in league play.

After a scoreless first half in which the Cougars outshot Air Force 10-3, Carlee Payne put BYU ahead 1-0 in the 67th minute after taking a crossing pass from Mercede Koning and volleying the ball past Falcon goalie Ariana Green. Kelsea Kakadelas was also credited with an assist on the play.

The Cougars scored an insurance goal in the 79th minute off a corner kick by Alyssa Vander Vuer that Lindsi Lisonbee headed past Green for her first goal of the season. Auna Janis also scored her first goal of the season after chipping a shot over Green and into the net in the 86th minute after taking a through pass from Payne.

BYU took 16 total shots in the game, with eight of them coming on goal. Green made five saves for Air Force, which mustered just five total shots and placed just two on BYU goalie McKinzie Olson.

It was Senior Night at the stadium as Air Force seniors Susan Finch and Kelsey Yip were honored prior to their final game at Cadet Soccer Stadium.

The Falcons closes out its regular season next Saturday, Oct. 31 against Utah in Salt Lake City. The game is scheduled for 1 p.m.
