Play of the Match – Out of the Blue
Midfielder Iliana Hocking scored the fourth goal of the night to put the Cats into a comfortable 4-2 lead. As forward Jill Aguilera wrestled for the ball with an Oregon Duck, Hocking came in from the back and, with only one touch, sunk the ball into the net. This was Hocking's third goal of the 2019 season.  

One touch to the back of the net! ??

Women of the Match – Jill Aguilera and Jada Talley 
Forward Jill Aguilera came to the match vs Oregon with a mission, one that she completed tenfold. She scored the first goal of the night off a cross from Forward Jada Talley like it was nothing, the ball was sent straight pass the keeper to score the first. Her second goal was a shot from way outside, about as far left as she could go. Still, the ball found its way into the bottom corner with ease. She walks away from the match with a brace and an assist on Jada Talley's goal in the 56'.

Forward Jada Talley was hand in hand with Aguilera all night earning the same brace and double assists. Her first goal of the night broke the 2-2 tie in the 56' off Aguilera's pass. It shot right under the keepers arm and straight back into the net. Her second goal in the 85' sealed the victory for the Cats. She received the ball from Midfield/Defender Ava McCray and launched the Cats in to a three goal lead and victory.

Tony Talks 
Head Coach Tony Amato
on the teamwork from the Wildcats...
"From our total movement from our backs all the way up to our forwards was pretty dynamic tonight. We were trying to think of a time where we've moved the ball like that and created that many chances and scored five goals in a conference game and I can't think of one in the time I have been here. That's a credit to the team and what we've been working on." 

Up Next
The Cats will be back home on Sunday Oct 27 at 1:00 p.m. MST to take on Oregon State.
