USU Soccer clinches the 2nd seed in the WAC tournament!!!!

There were two games over the weekend on Chuck and Gloria Bell Field.

Shantel Flanary had two goals, Lauren Hansen had one, Heather Pond also scored and little Jamee Dyches scored her first collegiate goal on a screamer from about 20 yards out on the left side to the far post. It was a brilliant goal. Hats off to Dyches for her first collegiate goal - in fact it was the goal that clinched the WAC tournament berth for the Aggies.

We've got you hooked up with the best stories about our Lady Ags.

The Aggies are now sitting solidly in second place after these two critical home wins. Here are the seeds in this weekend's tournament:

1. San Jose State
2. Utah State
3. Boise State
4. Nevada
5. New Mexico State
6. Fresno State

Hawai'i, Louisiana Tech, and Idaho did not qualify for the conference tournament.

The format for this tournament is similar to the NFL playoffs. The #1 and #2 seeds earn a bye. No. 3 will play no. 6 and no. 4 will play no. 5 in the first round. After the first round, No. 2 will play against the winner of the 3/6 matchup (Boise/Fresno) and no. 1 will face the winner of the 4/5 matchup. The winner of those two matches will advance to the final match, and then a winner will be decided.

So, gear up ladies and gentlemen!!! It's fall tournament time, and the Aggies are looking to get it done this year after falling in double overtime last year.

The only team that is in this tournament that USU has lost to is the fourth seed, Nevada. USU beat Boise on the road this year and Fresno at home, both by a margin of 1-0. USU is definitely capable of executing and getting it done. The only item that remains in this year's mission to greatness is three straight wins. No more ties, ladies and gents... Wins and Losses only.

Go get 'em Ags!
