WAIPAHU -- In an impressive showing on both ends of the field, Brigham Young overwhelmed George Mason, 4-0, during the second evening of the OHANA Hotels & Resort No Ka Oi at the Waipio Peninsula Soccer Stadium.

The Cougars dominated from the outset, scoring a pair of goals in each

half. BYU out-shot George Mason, 23-3 and held the advantage in corner

kicks, 7-2.

Sophomore Natalie Nate put BYU on the scoreboard early at the 6:15 mark sending a straight-away rocket from 35 yards into the goal. Less than 10 minutes later another sophomore, Carolyn Swenson stole a Patriots pass and hit a left-footed shot from close range to make it 2-0. The Cougars had another scoring opportunity in the 31st minute of the game, but missed on a penalty kick.

The second half saw two more BYU goals. On a free kick, senior Jamie Beck fed Brooke Thulin who bent a shot past Patriot goalie Olivia Brown in the 79th minute of the contest. Just two minutes later, freshman Jessica Harmon making her first college appearance, scored off a corner kick. Teammates Amberlea Anderson and Annie Zwahlen were credited with assists.

With the 4-0 victory, the Cougars advanced to the championship game against hosts Hawai'i on Monday night. The Rainbow Wahine defeated George Mason 2-1 in overtime on Friday.

BYU's home opener is on Friday, Sept. 2 against Weber State. The game kicks off at 7 p.m., at South Stadium.
