#5 BYU women’s soccer beat Long Beach State in California on Thursday evening by a score of 3-0.
The Cougars came into the match 8-0 on the season, but struggled to show their dominance in the first half of the game. While they took more shots in the half, they did not overwhelm Beach.
However, BYU has shown dominance in the second half of their matches in recent games, and Thursday evening was not exception. The Cougars came into the half strong, and it paid off when a low cross from freshman Sara Jayne Affleck was tucked into the near post by fellow freshman Ellie Maughan for her first career goal in the 55th minute.
