PHOENIX—Faith Webber and Julianna Carter each scored a second half goal to lead the Utah Valley women's soccer team to a 2-1 come-from-behind road win at Grand Canyon on Sunday night at GCU Stadium.
 
Utah Valley improves to 7-2-3 overall and 3-0-1 in WAC play, while GCU falls to 4-5-1 overall and 0-3-0 in league play. The win marks the second straight comeback win for UVU, which also came back from a 0-3 second half deficit against California Baptist to beat the Lancers 4-3 on Friday night in Orem.
 
"I'm very proud of our team and I love the grit and effort they put in tonight to pick up the win," said Utah Valley head coach Chris Lemay. "We had two great comeback matches against a pair of great opponents. It's tough to come away with a road win in the second match of the weekend when you travel away from home. Our team rose to the occasion, and I'm extremely proud of our players and their effort."
 
Grand Canyon took a 1-0 lead in the 18th minute as Brenna Alderson sent a ball up the right side from beyond midfield to Bekah Valdez. Valdez then made a move to free up a cross inside the box and Gianna Gourley then found the back of the net to give the Lopes a 1-0 advantage. 
 
Utah Valley scored the equalizer in the 54th minute as Hannah Lee kicked it forward from midfield to Julianna Carter who then flicked it forward to a sprinting Webber. Webber then fired a shot from the top of the box into the back of the net to tie the game, 1-1. 
 
With just over two minutes to play in the match, Lee dribbled towards the box on the left side and fired a shot at the top of the box. GCU's keeper then pushed the shot out, but Carter beat her defender to the ball and put it across the line for what would prove to be the game winner in the 88th minute.  
 
Utah Valley outshot Grand Canyon 15-9 on the night and had an 8-2 advantage on frame. UVU had three corner kicks to GCU's two. Webber, Stainbrook, and Carter led the Wolverines with three goals each. Carter had a match-high three shots on frame. Leah Wolf played all 90 minutes in the box, collecting one save.  
 
Utah Valley continues WAC road play on Saturday, Oct. 8 at league rival Seattle U. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. MT. The game will be broadcast live on ESPN+. UVU's next home match will be on Thursday, Oct. 13 against UTRGV.
