SALT LAKE CITY, Utah - Playing in front of the snowy white Wasatch Mountain Range and under the bright lights and snow-covered seats of Rice-Eccles Stadium, home of the 2002 Winter Olympics, UNLV takes a 1-0 lead over San Diego State into the locker room at half-time. The game is a Mountain West Conference Quarterfinal game.
UNLV got on the scoreboard first at the 7:08 mark when a pass from midfielder Angie Inzana went to an open midfielder Erin Egertson at the top of the box, who flicked it over Aztec goalkeeper Stephanie Pearson and into the upper right portion of the net. That would be the Rebels' lone shot of the half.
A shot from defender Annette Shinn at the 14:33 mark got past Rebel goalkeeper Jenna Huff, but missed the left goalpost by about five yards.
At the 18:11 mark, San Diego State turned on the offensive attack. First, defender Erica Lopez passed the ball from the right sideline to the middle of the box, but a shot by midfielder Amanda McKay went high. At the 23:25 mark, another high pass from Lopez went over the box and over the sideline. At 25:04, forward Becky Prilaman's shot from the top of the box went just high. And then 41 seconds later, Shinn had a shot from 10 yards out blocked.
At the half, SDSU has out-shot UNLV, 6-1.
