Box Score

The University of Regina's women's soccer team continued its torrid start to the 2012 season after defeating the UNBC Timberwolves by a 3-0 score on Sunday afternoon at NCSSL Field in Prince George.

After a scoreless first half, Tayler Firth (pictured) got the No. 8-ranked Cougars on the board in the 63rd minute after she collected a rebound and notched her second goal in as many games.

Two Cougars then scored their first career goals to seal the road win for the U of R. Veronica Boesch scored in the 73rd minute to make it 2-0 for Regina, and Karlee Vorrieter's goal in the 87th minute gave the Cougars a late three-goal cushion.

Stephanie Possberg made four saves to secure her second shutout of the season.

The Cougars had a 31-9 advantage in shot attempts and a 6-3 edge in corner kicks in the win.

The Cougars (4-0-0) will now prepare for their second flight to British Columbia in as many weekends, as they'll face No. 3-ranked Trinity Western (5-0-0) on Friday night and UBC (4-1-0) on Saturday night.

NOTES: Counting the end of last season, the Cougars have five consecutive shutouts and haven't allowed a goal in a Canada West match in the last 328 minutes of conference play ... the Cougars and the University of Ottawa are the only two CIS teams yet to surrender a goal this season ... Firth is now the University of Regina's career leader with four game-winning goals.
