WOMEN'S SOCCER: Four different players scored goals as Utah Valley snapped a five-game losing streak and began Great West Conference play with a 4-1 win at North Dakota on a cold Friday afternoon at Grand Forks, N.D.

The Wolverines (2-9-0, 1-0-0) broke through with just over a minute left in the first half when Jaime Lyons scored on an assist from Whitney Fuller to put UVU up 1-0 at the break.

"We actually started off pretty well but they (North Dakota) made a couple of key saves early," said head coach Brent Anderson. "That late goal really gave us something positive to go into the half with and we got right back to work in the second half. The girls were fired up and had a lot of good energy today."

The four goals are far and away a season high for the Wolverines, who hadn't scored more than a single goal in any game so far this season. It also nearly the doubled the season goal total, which was five entering Friday's contest.

Camille Broderick had a big day with a goal and an assist. Her goal in the 55th minute on an assist from Kelsey Kimball put UVU up 2-0 and ended up as the game-winner.

The Fighting Sioux (1-9-1, 0-2-0) kept things interesting though with a goal in the 69th minute by Rachael Loomis on an Alex Zarling assist but Utah Valley answered with two goals in a span of two minutes and 10 seconds to secure the win.

Athena Maher scored on a Taryn Smith assist in the 77th minute and Nicole Archibald came right back in the 79th minute to make it 4-1 on Broderick assist. The goals for Maher and Archibald are the second of the year for each player.

The Wolverines out-shot UND 23-12 and 10-5 on goal. Tasha Bell had four saves in goal for UVU.

Conference play continues on Sunday at noon MT at South Dakota, who also enters the game with a 1-0-0 record in Great West action.
