The Falcons prevail in penalty kicks, 4-2
PHOENIX, Arizona (11/14/26) – The University of Wyoming soccer team's historic season came to an end Saturday in the Mountain West Championship. The No. 2-seeded Cowgirls fell to No. 4 Air Force, 0-0, losing in penalty kicks in a game played at GCU Stadium.
It took 110 minutes of scoreless soccer to reach PKs. Wyoming outshot Air Force in that time, 23-8, with Kiley Ballek and Maddie Burr leading the way with four shots apiece.
The Falcons played the majority of the contest with only 10 players. Annika Jost was given a red card during the 41st minute for inhibiting a counterattack scoring opportunity.
That advantage bore out in the final 70 minutes. The Pokes peppered Air Force with 17 shots to just one for the Falcons.
Wyoming keeper, Haley Bartel, finished the contest with a pair of saves. Her counterpart, Sydney Nelms, turned away 10 shots.
Bartel was one of three Cowgirls named to the Mountain West All-Tournament Team. Reese Gould and Addi Keen were also recognized.
Wyoming concludes the season at 14-5-2. And it was a season that was record breaking in many different ways.
The 14 victories are two more than the previous record for a single season. The 41 goals scored are the most ever in a regular season, that included netting a score in 20 consecutive matches, also a program best.
The Cowgirls ascended as high as No. 4 in the United Soccer Coaches' Pacific Region Poll. They also boasted an RPI of 55 at one point. Both of those ranking high-water marks are school records.
Alyssa Glover carved her name as the best offensive player to ever don the brown and gold. She recorded 76 career points and 29 career goals, both of which are tops in program history.
Air Force advances to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history. The Falcons' opponent will be announced Monday during the selection show.
