Aztecs To Start MWC Play This Weekend
The San Diego State Aztecs travel to their lone away Mountain West Conference matches this weekend, playing Brigham Young (4-7-2) at 7 p.m. (MST) Thursday and Utah (7-3-0) at 1 p.m. (MST) Saturday.
Due to a mathematical quirk that does not allow all seven teams to play a balanced MWC schedule of three home games and three away, SDSU alternates between playing four away and two at home and vice versa from year-to-year.
Last Weekend With The Aztecs
SDSU lost both matches last weekend to Pac-10 powerhouses Arizona State and No. 3 Washington. On Oct. 1, the Aztecs fell to the Sun Devils, 3-0, in Tempe, Ariz. Senior goalkeeper Sophia Perez played all 90 minutes and made four saves in the loss.
On Oct. 3, SDSU dropped a tough 1-0 decision to the third-ranked Huskies at the SDSU Sports Deck. Perez made three stops as the stellar defense of senior Noelle Jouglet, junior Amanda Swiader and freshman Ashley Young limited the Washington offense, who came into the match averaging 11.9 shots and 1.9 goals per game, to nine shots (four on goal).
Where's The Net?
The Aztecs have been shutout for three consecutive games for the first time in the program's 16-year history. SDSU has gone 341:44 without scoring a goal, which is also the longest time in between goals.
Senior Courtney Burns scored SDSU's last goal 38:16 into the first half to lift the Aztecs to a 3-2 victory over Cal State Northridge on Sept. 24.
The Aztecs have also been shutout seven times in 2004. However, in those seven games, they have only given up seven goals.
