The BYU women's soccer team lost its home opener, 2-0, to No. 1 Stanford on Thursday night at South Field.
“I think there are a lot of positives to take away from the game,” BYU head coach Jennifer Rockwood said. “We really challenged ourselves playing a team like Stanford. Our game plan was to attack against them more than other teams do, and we created some great opportunities. Now we’re to the point where we’ve played some great teams and looked really good, but we’re all about getting results as well.”
The Cardinal (3-0) opened up the scoring in the 35th minute when Catarina Macario received the ball at the top of the box and gathered herself before sending a shot past the diving goalkeeper, Sabrina Macias Davis.
