San Jose, Calif. (10/19/14) - The San José State women's soccer team outshot Wyoming, 21-13, but fell to the Cowgirls, 2-0, on Sunday in a Mountain West conference match.
Wyoming got on the board first after a handball inside the 18-yard box was called against the Spartans. Kasey Curtis took the penalty kick for the Cowgirls. Spartan goalkeeper Zoe Makrigiannis was able to get a finger on the Curtis kick but could not slow down the speed of the shot as the Cowgirls went ahead 1-0 in the 2nd minute. Wyoming outshot San José Stat, 6-4 in the first half of play, while the Spartans held the advantage in corner kicks, 2-1.
Trailing after the half, the Spartans upped the intensity on the offensive end. SJSU outshot Wyoming 17-7 in the second half and had a handful of opportunities go against them.
After a Wyoming foul in the 74th minute, Carley McBeath took a free kick from nearly 25 yards out. McBeath's attempt looked good, but the shot hit the bottom of the top post and bounced into the Wyoming goalkeeper's hands.
In the 80th minute, Lupita Estrada attempted to bend a shot from outside the right side of the box. Estrada's shot hit the right post and Alex Boehm jumped on the ball to give the Cowgirls possession.
One last opportunity for the Spartans came in the 86th minute. Alexis Venegas took a corner and served it into the box, and a scramble for the ball broke out. The Spartans had a pair of chances to get the ball in the net, but the official blew the play dead due to SJSU foul.
The Cowgirls put the game out of reach shortly after. Kaitlyn Lomsnes blew past the Spartan defense after an SJSU corner, and shot into an empty net for a goal, as they Spartans fell to Wyoming, 2-0.
