ST. GEORGE, Utah—London Miller recorded a brace with a goal in each half, including the game winner to help lead the Utah Valley women's soccer team to a 3-2 win over Dixie State in the Old Hammer Rivalry match on Saturday at Trailblazer Stadium.
 
With the win, Utah Valley improves to 7-4-2 overall and 6-2-1 in WAC play. Dixie State falls to 2-7-1 overall and 2-5-0 in league play.
 
"I'm very pleased with the execution on our set pieces today," said Utah Valley head coach Chris Lemay. "We've given ourselves a lot of chances that we haven't been converting on and so to score a pair of goals on them today was nice. It's nice to get three points, especially on the road in some windy conditions on a difficult surface. We're very pleased to get out of here with a win."
 
Utah Valley was first to get on the scoreboard as Grace Beeston sent in a corner kick to Amber Tripp, who then sent a cross into the box. London Miller one-touched the pass from Tripp with her left foot into the back of the net to give the Wolverines a 1-0 lead in the 17th minute.
 
The Wolverines scored again in the 42nd minute after Heather Stainbrook sent in a line drive free kick into the box from 25 yards out. Sydney Bushman was able to get a head on it and place it into the net to give Utah Valley a 2-0 advantage.
 
Isabel Jones-Dawe sent a ball from the back line all the way down past midfield to Sydney Bushman, who then passed it to a streaking Anna Pickering down the right side. Pickering dribbled it once and then sent the ball to Miller inside the box. Miller one-touched it with her left foot into the back of the net as the Wolverines jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the 55th minute.
 
Dixie State scored a goal in the 63rd and 80th minutes to get within a goal, but couldn't get any closer as UVU secured the 3-2 victory.
 
Utah Valley outshot Dixie State 14-10, including a 9-5 advantage on frame. The Wolverines had eight corner kicks to DSU's two. Jones-Dawe recorded three saves in the box for UVU.
 
Miller, Brockbank, Bushman, and Lily Haskins each had two shots on the day. Breanna Eves, Julianna Carter, Tripp, Pickering, Breanna DeWaal, and Amanda Mangelson each had one.
 
Utah Valley now returns home to take on WAC rival Seattle U in a two-match set on Thursday and Saturday at Clyde Field. Thursday's match is set to kickoff at 6 p.m., while Saturday's will begin at noon.
