Sept. 26, 2006 Relive BYU's exciting 1-0 win over Arizona in a tape delay bradcast at 11 a.m. Wednesday on the mtn. For the second game in a row, BYU sophomore Katie Fellows made the big play, this time giving the Cougars (8-1-1) a 1-0 victory over the University of Arizona (6-4-0) Monday evening at South Stadium. She also scored the game-tying goal on Friday against Washington State. "Arizona is a very, very talented team," head coach Jennifer Rockwood said. "They are one of the best teams we've played all year. Their forwards are extremely talented and dangerous. I was proud of our team and the way we held our composure after we scored. We played smart tonight." Fellows' goal came in the 72nd minute when Haylee Cuthbert sent the ball over to the right side of the field off a corner kick. Fellows sent a hard header toward the goal. The ball crossed the line and then bounced off two Wildcat defenders and hit the post while Arizona tried to clear the ball, but the goal had already been made. "It's a whole game process," Fellows said. "You come ready to play every game and you have to play as if every ball is going to be the ball. I had an opportunity and I took it." Despite a scoreless first half, BYU gave the crowd of 3,606 something to cheer about with several close calls, though neither team was able to convert. Arizona's best looks came in the 17th and 20th minutes, respectively. The Wildcats' first opportunity came when Gianna DeSaverio fired a shot off to the bottom-left corner of the net. BYU keeper Erika Woodbury had to stretch out to make the diving save. Three minutes later, DeSaverio again received the ball on a breakaway up the middle. She drew Woodbury out of the net, but Woodbury dove into DeSaverio to snatch the ball as the players collided. Both players took a few minutes to recover from the impact.
