Northern Colorado’s third women's soccer overtime match of the season ended in a 3-2 loss to the Utah Valley Wolverines on Thursday night in Orem, Utah. This drops the Bears to 2-3-0 on the season and 1-2 in overtime games.

Utah Valley struck first with a goal from Jennie Clough almost 10 minutes into the match. Northern Colorado then fought back and, after a handball penalty was called against the Wolverines, Bears senior Teresa Prais scored her first goal of the season to tie it at 1-1.

Still tied after the half, Utah Valley struck again with a quick goal from Jaime Lyons at 46:36, but junior Marcie Johnson tied it up again. Johnson made it past two defenders to score at 58:15.

In the overtime period it was Clough that came out and ended the game for the Wolverines with her second goal of the night against Northern Colorado freshman goalkeeper Kirstin Salminen. Salminen recorded eight saves in the match.

“It was just a back-and-forth game,” Bears coach Tim Barrera said. “We fought them off but came up short in the end.”

Northern Colorado will now head to Logan, Utah, to face Utah State on Sept. 6 to finish out the road trip.
