The Utah State Eastern women’s soccer team was handed their 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.

Utah State Eastern (6-1-1) will travel to Rangely, Colorado on Saturday, September 30 to take on the Spartans of Colorado Northwestern Community College (3-6-1) at 11:00 a.m.
