Snow College Women's Soccer had a terrific start to their Scenic West Athletic Conference season as they were able to hold off the number two team in the nation Salt Lake Community College 1-0.

"I was really pleased with our defense," said Head Coach Charles Long. "We have been trying to keep our focus on pressuring the other team. Keep the ball on the offensive side of the field to create opportunities and limit the opposing teams touches."

The two evenly matched team battled through a scoreless first half and the Badgers got on the board at the 18:52 minute mark of the second half on a goal by Emma Lindsey who also scored two goals on Saturday against Truckee Meadows.

"Emma played really well and worked hard to get herself in good position," said Long. "Salt Lake is a great team and for us to be able to get a win at home against them is a good measuring stick for us and a chance to build some confidence."

Saturday Snow College was able to get four goals. The two by Lindsey and one each for Kennley Bradley and Sydney Cragun.

"We had great possession of the ball against Truckee Meadows," said Long. "We were able to control the tempo and keep pressure on them for most of the match. Evelyn Brimhall played excellent in the goal with two shutouts."

The Badgers are at home again this week with matches against the College of Southern Nevada in Thursday and USU-E on Saturday.
