The Pepperdine Women’s Soccer team earned their way to first place in the West Coast Conference after a crucial 2-1 victory with an outstanding header goal off a corner kick against Brigham Young University on Oct. 12.
Senior Michelle Maemone started the game as a forward for the first time since her freshman year. In the second minute, Maemone received an assist from senior Christina Settles and shot back post, scoring the first goal of the game.
“I haven’t played forward since freshman year; I’m usually a defender, so I got to train in that position this week and practice placement shots, not necessarily shooting for power,” Maemone said.
