## Women's Scores & Notes ## 

Pac-12, Mountain West & West Coast Conferences


MW - Utah State 2-1 Boise State :: After a scoreless first half the Broncos found themselves trailing in the 53rd minute, but quickly answered six minutes later when Abree Chatterton (Boise, ID) connected with Raimee Sherle (Meridian, ID). The match would be deadlocked through much of overtime before the visitors got the winner on a penalty in the 108th, leaving them winless in their final three of the season (0-2-1). Meanwhile both Wyoming and New Mexico won their games to pull even in a three-way tie atop the table at 7-2-2. The Broncos defeated the Cowgirls and tied the Lobos this season.



WCC - Pepperdine 0-0 Gonzaga :: The two sides battled in an evenly-fought contest with Isabel Jones making five saves for the Zags in the scoreless stalemate against the 25th-ranked side. It is only the third time in 77 games against a ranked opponent the Bulldogs have registered a draw or win, and it is their first positive result against the Waves since 2014.
