Cedar City, UT – The Utah Valley Wolverines suffered their second defeat in succession today, losing 2-1 to the Thunderbirds of Southern Utah University. The Wolverines are now 3-3-0 on the year with all of their losses coming away from home.
The Thunderbirds came out focused the moment the whistle blew and got off to a quick start by scoring in the 6th minute of the match. Haley Adams put a shot away past UVU’s Jessica Duffin. Shelby Green was able to beat Duffin again in the 30th minute when she headed in a cross from Emilee Bohls.
UVU was able to get on the scoreboard by way of their captain Kasandra Anderson in the 55th minute. She gathered a cross from Taylor Kirk and fired home her shot to put the score at 2-1. While both teams had chances the rest of the game, no team could capitalize on them. The final whistle blew with the Thunderbirds holding on to the 2-1 victory.
