In the second half, UNLV would tie the match at 2-2 with a goal in the eighty-second minute. With a little under four minutes remaining in regulation, Tatum got the ball from senior Michaela Stark and buried it low left past the goalie to make it 3-2, the final score.

“I was really proud of the effort and the energy tonight. It was fantastic and we really battled,” head coach Pete Cuadrado said. “We never hung our heads and really happy with the team. Overall, it was a great college soccer game, really happy to come out on the positive side and pick up another crucial three points. I couldn’t be more proud of this team especially the way we battled.”

Wyoming is back on the pitch on Sunday in Reno against the Nevada Wolf Pack.
