First Round, Thurs.
Fresno State vs. Utah State
Scoring 24 goals through her first three seasons earned senior Kortney Lewis a reputation as one of the most prolific offensive threats in Fresno State soccer history. Her performance during Thursday afternoon’s WAC tournament quarterfinal contest against Utah State qualifies her as clutch. Lewis knocked home her third game-winning goal of the season at the 74:15 mark of the second half, giving Fresno State a 2-1 victory over Utah State and its first conference tournament triumph in three years. While it might have only been Lewis’ sixth goal of the year, she has made a habit of finding the net in critical situations, and Thursday’s win over the Aggies was another example. The Bulldogs took a 1-0 lead at the 35:43 mark from an unlikely source. Sophomore Andrea Alires, who had not scored all year while taking only one shot, executed a perfectly-placed corner kick that curled towards the goal and bent into the corner past Utah State keeper Kelli Allred. Alires’ goal gave the ‘Dogs a 1-0 lead heading into intermission, where they are now 5-1 when owning the lead.
Semifinals, Fri.
Fresno State vs. Hawaii
Junior Antonea Lugo scored her first two goals of the year, propelling Fresno State to a 2-1 victory and sending the Bulldogs to their first WAC tournament championship game since 1999
