Senior forward Kelsey Turnbow’s goal was the difference in a clash of the WCC’s top two women’s soccer programs Saturday afternoon. Turnbow took a feed from Colby Barnett into the box and fired an off-balance shot that found the back of the net for the score in the 74th minute. The goal was the ninth of the season for Turnbow.
The WCC weekly honor is the third of Turnbow’s career.
