PROVO, Utah - The last-minute heroics of sophomore forward Krissa Campbell lifted the BYU women's soccer team over Cal-State Northridge 2-1, Thursday. With the win, the Cougars reach the .500 mark with a 3-3 record while Cal-State Northridge dropped to 1-5.

With 24 minutes into the first half, freshman Brooke Bowman capitalized a pass that went off the post to put the Cougars up 1-0. All-American Aleisha Cramer Rose was credited with the assist, her first of the season.

In the second half the Cougars went on the attack, doubling the Matadors efforts in shots 14-7. BYU had its share of good looks but was unable to capitalize.

With under five minutes left in the game, CSN's Angie Veliz headed in a corner kick from Brynne Blumstein to tie the game at 1-1. Campbell was able to put away a loose ball caused by senior forward Jeni Viernes with 1:58 left on the clock and seal the win for the BYU.

"We played much better on the attack in the last couple weeks," said head coach Jennifer Rockwood. "The effort was there and we are on the right track."

BYU travels to Los Angeles to face USC Saturday at 1 p.m., and UCLA on Sept. 25. The next home game for the Cougars will be against St. Mary's for the first-ever meeting between the team. The game will be broadcast on BYU-TV at 7 p.m.
