On Friday against the Wolf Pack, freshman

Two days later, on Senior Day, CC celebrated its seniors by defeating the Rebels thanks to another Memoly goal.
In the 65th minute, the Laguna Hills native worked in tandem with freshman

Tiger Tails
CC had two players receive Mountain West Players of the Week honors for the first time this season. Memoly was named the Offensive POTW while Wallace knabbed her second career Defensive POTW award.
Memoly's two game-winning goals and four shots over the weekend against Nevada and UNLV earned her a career-first conference award. She now leads the team with six goals and 13 points.
Wallace played great in the net against both the Wolf Pack and the Rebels. She allowed just one goal in 180 minutes of action and tallied four saves. She is tied for third in the MW with five shutouts this year and is third in saves with 72.
Pulley got her first career point on Sunday with Memoly's goal. The freshman scored 35 goals her senior year of high school, leading the entire state of Utah regardless of class.
Scoenbeck now leads the team with three assists after adding two more over the weekend. The Texas native is first on the team with 33 shots.
Freshman defender
Lily Smith was also nominated for the Mountain West Freshman of the Week after she played all 180 minutes last week. She continues to lead the team with 1,416 minutes played, having started all 16 matches.
CC currently sits in 10th place in the Mountain West standings but is only two points behind sixth-place Fresno State. The top six teams will advance to the Mountain West Tournament, scheduled to start on Nov. 2 in Boise, ID.
With a win over the Lopes this weekend, the Tigers would surpass GCU in the standings. The Lopes sit in eighth place with a 3-5-1 conference record.
Scouting The Lopes
In their first year in the conference, the Lopes carry an 8-8-1 record. They are trying to end a two-game skid after losing to Boise State 1-0 on Thursday. With the win, the Broncos secured the conference regular-season title.
Sixth-year head coach Chris Cissell leads GCU and has a career record of 338-159-47. In his time in Phoenix, Cissell has won almost 70 games and led the Lopes to two NCAA Tournament appearances. He surpassed the program record for wins a few weeks back and now holds the title of winningest coach in program history.
