Olivia Wade Katoa and Bella Folino scored on either side of halftime to lead No. 11 BYU women's soccer by visiting Long Beach State 2-0.
PROVO — Two games into the 2023 season and the BYU women's soccer team has been anything but offensively challenged with seven goals from five different goal scorers en route to wins overOlivia Wade Katoa and Bella Folino scored on either side of halftime to lead No. 11 BYU women's soccer by visiting Long Beach State 2-0 at South Field for the team's first shutout of the regular season.
"She's great. I have all the trust in Savanna," Folino said. "They can take her on, and I know Sav is going to do great. ... This is how we get a high bid to the NCAA Tournament. Every game, we're aiming for that shutout and it was great that we got it tonight." "We're playing a tough schedule top to bottom, and Sav came up with some nice saves. But Izzi and Lava and our back line are asked to do a lot," BYU coach Jennifer Rockwood said. "They have to defend, and they have to start our attack. We wish they weren't touching the ball as much as they are, but they were doing a very good job because Long Beach is very dangerous on the counter attack, and we withstood it.
Instead, Katoa ripped an arcing ball that caromed off the underside of the crossbar to open the scoring in the 30th minute for a BYU side outshot 7-3 by Long Beach in the first half.
