Cougars Defeat Third Ranked Team of the Season

PROVO -- Carlee Payne connected with Jennie Marshall in the second overtime to give No. 17 BYU the win over No. 15 Oklahoma State 2-1 on Monday at South Field.

The victory gives BYU (3-1-1) three wins over three ranked opponents after the Cougars defeated No. 9 West Virginia and No. 20 Connecticut last weekend.

Despite a heartbreaking double overtime loss to William & Mary on Friday and a quick 1-0 deficit to the Cowgirls, Coach Jennifer Rockwood's young team came from behind for the win.

"Ups and downs are a part of sports," Rockwood said. "But to have a young team play with composure throughout the game says a lot."

After Oklahoma State's Kyndall Treadwell scored the game's first goal less than five minutes in, BYU went into halftime scoreless.

But in the 70th minute, sophomore Lauren Anderson sent a shot into Cowgirl territory. Freshman Jessica Ringwood found the ball, crossed it in front of the net and found Payne wide open in front of the net for the tying header.

With sophomore McKenzie Olson (five saves) and the BYU backline, led by Hermann Trophy candidate and Preseason All-American Andrea Willis, staying solid, BYU found the back of the net again midway through the second overtime. Payne turned toward the Oklahoma State goal and sent the through ball directly to the sophomore Marshall for the game-winning goal.

"I kept running through my head, trying to picture it, thinking we can do this," said Marshall, who entered the game just minutes before the goal. "Carlee found the gap and gave me a ball I couldn't mess up. It was a perfect ball."

The goal was Marshall's first this year.

Payne, a 5-foot-11 freshman from Pleasonton, Calif., has now scored a goal in all three Cougar wins this season, including both game-winners last week.

"I'm extremely proud of the girls," Rockwood said. "We believe that one shot can end it. Carlee was brilliant today and did a great job getting the ball to Jennie who is a great scorer."

BYU will now go on a four-game road trip, starting at Washington State on Thursday and Montana on Saturday.
