Soccer picks up overtime win in North Dakota

After starting off their conference schedule with two straight losses, the Weber State University soccer team picked up their first conference win of the year with an overtime 3-2 victory at the University of North Dakota on Friday.

The Wildcats fell behind four minutes into the game, when Kennedy Kidd gave UND a 1-0 lead. WSU senior defender Brecken Holbrook tied the game shortly before halftime with her first goal of the season, and senior forward Mackenzie Harrison gave the Wildcats the lead in the second half with her 21st career goal. Harrison’s 21st goal tied her for third place among the team scoring leaders and left her four goals away from tying the team career scoring record.

Katie Moller tied the game for UND with less than two minutes remaining in regulation play off a corner kick, but 10 minutes into overtime redshirt junior defender Kellyn Ashby scored her second career goal to give the Wildcats the 3-2 victory.

Weber State (5-6-1, 1-2-0 in conference) returns home this weekend to host Sacramento State (4-7-0, 2-1-0) on Friday and Portland State (3-8-0, 1-2-0) on Sunday. The Wildcats’ final game will be on Oct. 18 when they host University of Montana (4-7-1, 1-2-0).
