OREM — Faith Webber recorded a brace, including the eventual game-winner, as Utah Valley University earned a historic 3-2 victory over SEC foe LSU on Thursday night at UCCU Stadium.

The win marked the Wolverines' first-ever triumph over an SEC opponent, moving UVU to 2-2-1 on the year while the Tigers dropped to 4-3-0.

Webber put Utah Valley on the board in the 31st minute after Ruby Hladek delivered a ball past midfield to Nixan Jackson, who slipped it ahead to Webber. The senior forward settled the pass and curled a left-footed shot inside the far post to give UVU the 1-0 lead.

LSU answered just four minutes later, capitalizing on an own goal following a deflection inside the box. The Wolverines regained the advantage in the 58th minute when Greta Davis sent a cross from the left side that Taylor Nelson headed into the back of the net for her first goal of the season.

Webber struck again in the 65th minute, scoring what proved to be the game-winner and giving UVU a two-goal cushion. LSU pulled one back in the 80th minute on a strike from Gabbi Ceballos, but goalkeeper Leah Wolf made two key late saves to preserve the win. Wolf finished the night with seven saves, while Webber led all players with six shots, including five on frame.

"It feels great. I think that's the first SEC win in program history, and obviously it's a powerful conference and they're a good team. For us to go out there and play with composure and professionalism, and for Faith to get two goals and Taylor to step into a different role and deliver, it was a wonderful performance. This result was big for Faith, but also for our team. Leah came up really clutch in some moments, and she was brilliant tonight."

"It just felt nice to have a little bit of a cushion. We were working so hard, and against a team as talented as LSU, it felt good to know we had that bit of breathing room. I just felt relieved that I could help put us in a better position to win."

"Never, at this program, have we ever beaten an SEC team. That says it all right there. That team competes against some of the best players in the country every week, and for us to go out and get the win, it validates everything we've been saying about what this team is capable of."

Utah Valley will continue its homestand on Monday night against Gonzaga. Kickoff is set for 5:30 p.m. MT at UCCU Stadium, with the match streaming live on ESPN+. Tickets are available at GoUVU.com/Tickets.
