WASHINGTON TERRACE — The BYU Cougars scored three unanswered goals to beat the Ogden Outlaws 3-1 at Bonneville High School.
"I'm impressed with the players' resilience," said BYU coach Chris Watkins. "It would have been easy to fold the tent when Ogden scored the first goal. It was heartbreaking. It took a while to bounce back after halftime.
"I don't know where it comes from. It was impressive."
Ogden midfielder Collin Harrison found the back of the net in the 28th minute. A corner kick popped up to him, and he promptly ripped a volley past the BYU keeper Cory Cosgrave for the 1-0 lead.
"We went into halftime saying, 'What the heck?' We were the better team," said freshman forward Toni Niccoli. "It felt great to come back and get a win, especially against Ogden. They are our rivals, and the subs that came in really made a difference."
In the 70th minute, Trevor Henderson set up Janzten Romney for the equalizer. It was Henderson's first assist of the year and the second goal for Romney.
Just five minutes later, it was Romney who set up Toni Niccoli in the 6-yard box. Nicolli netted his team-leading fourth goal of the year.
And shortly thereafter, Kip Critchlow made a run to the end line, where he connected on his team-leading sixth assist of the year in the 77th minute. Kritchlow set up Brazilian freshman midfielder Pedro Vasconcelos for his first goal as the Cougars took a commanding lead.
