PHOENIX, Ariz. - The University of Wyoming soccer team has been in playoff mode for weeks now. And the Cowgirls will happily remain in that space for a few more days.
The No. 2-seeded Pokes rallied past No. 3 Hawai'i in overtime on Wednesday in the semifinals of the Mountain West Conference Tournament. Wyoming advances to the title match, which is set for Saturday at 1 p.m. against the winner between top-seeded Colorado College and Air Force.
Reese Gould provided the golden goal against the Rainbow Wahine. She scored during the 109th minute off a pass from
Maddie Burr.
The Cowgirls had to rally just to force overtime.
Addison Keen headed in a corner from
Alyssa Glover in the 60th minute, knotting the game at 1-1. That answered a goal from Hawai'i's Jas Cayetano just 10 minutes earlier.
Haley Bartel made six saves in net for the Cowgirls. Her counterpart, Kennedy Justin, collected five.
