"My hat goes off to the offense for getting the goal," Cochran said. "And my hat goes off to the defense for holding the lead."  

LBSU faced Utah State and managed to keep a one-goal lead to win the game. 

The match was scoreless throughout the first half, but the 49ers came charging back to win.

49er midfielder Jennifer Reott scored the goal unassisted by driving between three Utah State defenders with less than 15 minutes left.

Cochran said she sees the team's improvement. "We played well. We're taking quality shots, quality chances to score," Cochran said.

LBSU faced North Texas at George Allen Field Friday. 

In the first half, the match again was scoreless. However, the Eagles were determined.

Eagle Teresa Vise scored the winning goal. 

49er goalkeeper Jihan Elgazzar had five saves on 15 UNT shots. 

Eagle goalkeeper Adriana Costanzo had eight saves and rejected 26 shots from the 49er offense for her second shutout of the season.

The 49ers had various opportunities to score, but failed to convert. This was the fifth time they were shutout this season.
