Zags opened scoring in 53rd minute off Rasoul’s header
SPOKANE, Wash. – Utah picked up a 2-1 road win over Gonzaga women's soccer in a season-opener for both teams at Luger Field Thursday.
Gonzaga struck first but couldn't hold off Utah's (1-0-0) late surge. In her Bulldog debut, Shila Rasoul gave the Zags the lead in the 53rd minute, heading home a composed finish after a sharp passing sequence from Katelyn Rigg and Samantha Snorsky.
The advantage lasted just 15 minutes before Julia Oka equalized for the Utes, finishing a cross from Grace Watkins in the 68th minute. Watkins played provider again with under 10 minutes to play, setting up Kelly Bullock's decisive strike in the 80th.
Utah held a 18–11 edge in shots, forcing GU (0-1-0) goalkeeper Michaela McCollum into five saves, while Utah's keeper stopped two.
In it's next match, Gonzaga welcomes Simon Fraser (B.C.) on Aug. 24 at 1 p.m. The game will be broadcast on ESPN Plus, with live stats on GoZags.com.
