ST. GEORGE, Utah – The Black Hills State University women's soccer team fell, 4-0, to Dixie State University, on Saturday afternoon.

Dixie State (4-1-2, 2-0-1 RMAC), who are in third place in conference play, put the Yellow Jackets (1-6-1, 1-2-1 RMAC) under pressure immediately, earning a corner kick just one minute into play, and taking three shots in the first five minutes. The Trailblazers got on the board in the 15th minute when Tess Donaldson scored off a corner. They would double their lead in the 38th minute. One second before the horn, Jaci Cook-Dandos took a shot for DSU from 40-yards out, increasing the home side's lead to 3-0 at halftime.

Less than a minute into the second half, the Trailblazers earned another free kick, one of 14 in the game, and Alexa Ashton headed the ball in to make it 4-0. That score would hold, as DSU earned the conference win.

Katie Nielson and Mikayla Hernandez each tallied one shot in the game. Dz-Rae Jara (1-3-1) played all 90 minutes in goal, making 10 saves while allowing four goals.  

Donaldson, Ashton, Zoe Clark, and Cook-Dandos scored the goals for DSU. Adelle Brown (1-0) earned the victory in net for the Trailblazers.

The Green and Gold will next host Western Colorado and Colorado Mesa next weekend. The Yellow Jackets welcome the Mountaineers on Friday, October 4, with kickoff scheduled at 7 p.m.
