After a hard fought 2-0 shutout of Mount San Antonio College on the road in Walnut, California the Lady Coyotes returned home to host the University of Utah Club for a pair of matches this past weekend in the team's final test before the meat of its Scenic West Athletic Conference schedule begins to take shape.

Elite striker Ashlee Jordan got CSN on the board before the crowd was able to take their seats thanks to a great pass off the boot of Amanda Carducci just 1:07 into the match.

Brianna Duran found the back of the net in the 10^th and 23^rd minutes ,courtesy of helpers from Sara Marie Covarrubi and Gianna Faress, extending Southern Nevada's lead to 3-0 in the opening half. Not to be outdone, Dona Acierto found the back of the Utah Club team's net twice in two minutes courtesy of dimes off the boots of Brooke Haley and Jessica Carnahan to give CSN a commanding 5-0 advantage.

UUC finally got on the board in the 39^th minute, but still trailed 5-1 at intermission.

Shae Hollan put the icing on the cake when she tallied the Lady Coyotes sixth goal of the match thanks to Sara Marie Covarrubi's second helper of the match.

CSN dominated UUC 6-2 to improve its season mark to 5-1-1 in 2018.

After dismantling UUC Saturday afternoon the Lady Coyotes looked to finish the fight Sunday morning and in the process secure its best start in the program's three years of existence.

The first half began as a defensive chess match with neither able to breakthrough until a costly mishandling of the ball in front of its own net cost UUC an own goal.

The score remained 1-0 Southern Nevada as both teams headed into the locker room for halftime. The second half had a sluggish feel to begin the match, however Ashlee Jordan brought the crowd to life when she turned a perfect feed off the boot of Olivia Meza into the Lady Coyotes second goal of the morning.

Dona Acierto put the match to bed in the 77^th minute when she beat the UUC keeper for the third time in the match thanks to another dime off the foot of Olivia Meza.

CSN held on for the 3-0 shutout victory over UUC, improving to 6-1-1 and 4-0 at home in 2018.

Fans your Lady Coyotes will be in Taylorsville, Utah Friday September 28^th and Saturday September 29^th to battle the Salt Lake Community College Bruins.
