Price, UT – Utah State University Eastern women's soccer team played host to the #5 Salt Lake Community College Bruins on Saturday, October 5^th.  In a hard-fought game, SLCC came out on top 3-1.  The Eagles according to Head Coach Ammon Bennett, "We couldn't find much offensive rhythm, and against a solid team like SLCC, we unfortunately need to be better in those aspects."
 
USU Eastern came out with a lot of energy in the first half, regardless of the lack of rhythm offensively.  They struck first on offense after a hand-ball penalty in the box by one of the Bruin defenders.  This set up a penalty kick situation for Brooke Stoker.  Stoker remained perfect on PK chances, converting on her 3^rd of the season.
 
The rest of the offense on display came from SLCC.  They scored 3 unanswered goals, despite a valiant effort from the Eagles, to put the game away 3-1.
 
The Eagles will be back on the pitch on Thursday Oct 10^th, as they travel to Orem, UT for a friendly against Utah Valley University club team.  They pick up conference play again for their last home game of the season on Castle View Hospital Soccer Field.  Join them for a celebration of the sophomores, as they face Colorado Northwestern Community College at 1 p.m. Saturday, October 12^th.
