Cowgirls Draw with Visiting New Mexico, 1-1

LARAMIE -- The University of Wyoming soccer team had a bit of a quirky Thursday match against New Mexico.

An overnight snowstorm forced the teams to push kickoff back four and a half hours and into the Indoor Practice Facility.

The end result was a weird 1-1 draw. The result pushes the Cowgirls to 10-3-1 on the season and 3-1-1 (10 points) in Mountain West Conference play, while the Lobos move to 6-4-3 overall and 3-2-1 in league.

“It’s a fair result, to be honest,” head coach Josh Purdum said. “Both teams were pretty aggressive in the attack and sharp defensively. There were a lot of good battles in the middle of the field. With the spacing of the field being tight, you will see more direct play, and both teams did well to adjust to each other. It’s a fair result.”

Erin Dahl got the Pokes on the board early. She netted her second score of the season, firing one in from distance during the 15th minute.

The lead held until the final 80 seconds. Celina Frenz took a pass from Presley Devey and knotted the match up in the 89th minute.

Wyoming goalkeeper, Haley Bartel, turned away seven shots on the night. Her counterpart, Alyson Campbell, made five saves.

To Purdum’s point, it was a very level game with both sides recording 13 shots. Eight of the Lobos’ shots were on frame while six were on target for the Pokes. Isabel Vasco paced Wyoming with a trio of shots.

The Cowgirls remain at home this weekend. They’ll return to the Madrid Sports Complex for a 1 p.m. match against UTEP.

From Bison to Triceratops - All of Wyoming's Official Things

Every state in our nation has chosen things that represent the state in one way or another to be official state things. Like a flower, or animal. Wyoming is no different.

The Equality State, or the Cowboy State, depending on which state slogan you want to go with, has a state flower. But did you know we also have a state tree and a state fish? Yes, we even have a state code.

To be an official thing, a member of the state legislature must write and submit a bill to the legislature declaring that a thing will be the official state thing. Then the legislature votes to pass the bill, or not, if it passes, the governor signs the bill into law and we have a new official state thing.

Here is what we have so far, all of Wyoming's official things. Now you can win big on Wyo Trivia Night if that's a thing that exists.
