Star of the game: Utah Valley’s bench. The Wolverine’s bench contributed three of their four goals and an assist. Taylor Kirk, a 5-foot-7 freshman from Pleasant Grove, Utah, punched in the first two goals of her collegiate career (while seeing the first collegiate minutes of her career, too).
Second star: Allyson Stainbrook. The senior scored twice while accumulating more shots and goals than anyone else on her team. Head coach Allison Gibson moved Stainbrook from the backline to midfield with the hope she would still affect the game defensively, but would also help shore up some of the squad’s struggles in that area of the field.
More on this move and Stainbrook’s/Gibson’s reactions to how it worked later this week when the Journal runs a Utah State game preview.
Third star: ISU Sports Information and all the support staff that helped move a game from Davis Field to Holt Arena after it became clear the lightning wouldn’t go away. The playing conditions in Holt weren’t perfect, but it worked and it was a heck of a lot better than rescheduling or not playing the game at all.
