10/18/2025 9:54:00 PM | Women's Soccer
RIVERSIDE --- The WAC season resumed on Saturday night with the Lancers looking to avenge an earlier loss to Utah Valley. An early second-half goal gave CBU the first lead of the night, but two goals down the closing stretches for UVU led to a 2-1 finish in favor of the visitors.
CBU moves to 8-7-1 overall on the season. Their WAC record now sits at 4-2-0.
Goalkeeper Mikayla O'Brien faced an onslaught from the Utah Valley attack as the Wolverines registered ten attempts on frame. O'Brien made the save on eight of those chances, placing her one save shy of her season high.
Five of O'Brien's saves came in the first half, as both teams could not find the back of the net, sending the match into halftime with zeroes across the board.
The Lancers erased one of the zeroes and tacked a one on the board just 66 seconds into the second half as Ava Westlund provided a goal-of-the-year candidate play. Set up from a pass by Anja Jestrovic, Westlund connected with her left foot, sending the ball to the back post where it clanked off the iron and ricocheted into the goal.
Westlund's goal was her sixth of the season.
The Wolverines looked to have an answer for the Lancers in the 71st minute when they were awarded a penalty. Maire Quentel stepped up to take the penalty, but she was denied by the post, keeping the match level.
Five minutes later, the equalizer came when Quentel cashed in off a Tylie Miller assist. The Wolverines were not finished as they scored again less than a minute later when a cross from Mia Owens found Ruby Hladek to give UVU the 2-1 advantage.
CBU registered nine shots on Saturday, with only three finishing on frame. Goalkeeper Leah Wolf finished the night with two saves.
With the victory, Utah Valley kept its lead in the WAC as its record moved to 5-0-1.
The Lancers will be back in action on Thursday night as Utah Tech comes to Riverside. CBU beat Utah Tech 2-0 in their earlier meeting. Tickets for the 7 p.m. match are on sale HERE.
