In an exciting matchup on Thursday afternoon, the newly ranked No. 20 Utah State Eastern women’s soccer team went head-to-head with Truckee Meadows, resulting in a nail-biting goalless draw. The field was alive with energy as the players battled for dominance, and the final score of 0-0 was a testament to the resilience displayed by the USU Eastern squad.

Truckee Meadows’ defense was put to the test, with USU Eastern launching a total of 6 shots, though only 1 found its way on target. Victoria Kalista was a standout performer for the Lady Eagles, tallying 2 shots and 1 on goal. Macy Clements, guarding the net for USU Eastern, exhibited exceptional skill, making 5 crucial saves that secured the team’s clean sheet.

On the opposite side, Truckee Meadows had 6 shots and 5 on target, but they were met with an impenetrable wall in the form of Macy Clements, who ensured their efforts remained unrewarded. Brooke Sherwood and Alexandra Rutherford led Truckee Meadows with 2 shots on goal each, but their endeavors were fruitless against Clements.

Although the match concluded without any goals, it was far from lacking in excitement. USU Eastern’s resilience in defense and Macy Clements’ outstanding performance in goal were the key factors in preserving the deadlock.
