Werts, a native of Portland, Oregon, scored four goals in Utah State’s win over Fresno State on Oct. 9. This set a new program record and matched the Mountain West Conference record. She played just 55 minutes and took four shots, all of which found the back of the net as she scored in the 25th, 27th, 59th and 67th minutes. Werts is the first Aggies to score at least three goals in a game since 2018 and is just the fifth player in MW history to score four goals in a conference game.
