The Utah State Eastern women’s soccer team was handed its first loss of the season on Saturday, snapping a six-game win streak. Eastern displayed tremendous determination in a tightly-contested match against No. 6 Salt Lake Community College. Despite falling short with a final score of 2-1, the game showcased the relentlessness of the Lady Eagle squad.
The first half showed the strength of defense on both teams, with goalkeepers Macy Clements for Utah State Eastern and Aliya Garrett for Salt Lake making impressive saves. The score remained level at 0-0 at halftime, with neither side yielding an inch.
Utah State Eastern took the lead quickly out of the half in the 49th minute when Sailor Jensen scored an unassisted goal. However, Salt Lake responded swiftly with Caitlyn Parry netting two goals in the 56th and 76th minutes, securing the win for the Bruins.
