Taylor Poland snags Bay Alarm Player of the Week after BYU shutout

MORAGA, Calif. – After a fabulous afternoon between the posts Saturday afternoon, Taylor Poland has been named the Bay Alarm Student Athlete of the Week.

This marks the second time she's won the award, after she won the award last season after posting two shutouts against LMU and Pepperdine.

Saint Mary's began the game on the front foot against BYU, opting to counter attack the slower, more methodical Cougars offense. Goalkeeper Taylor Poland was busy early in the match, forced to make a tricky save just six minutes in.

With both sides having defended well in the first half, the intensity quickly ramped up at the start of the second half.
