TEMPE, Ariz. -- Devin Marshall tied her single-game career high with two goals as the Arizona State women’s soccer team won its second straight game, defeating Utah 4-1 on Thursday night.
The Sun Devils improved to 8-8-2 (4-4-1 Pac-12), while Utah fell to 8-7-2 (3-6 Pac-12).
The Sun Devils scored the first goal of the game in the eighth minute when Marshall took a pass from teammate Courtney Tinnin, beat two Utah defenders and flicked the ball into the net to give ASU the advantage.
ASU increased its lead to 2-0 when Holland Crook scored her third goal of the season on a penalty kick in the 59th minute. Crook set up the kick by drawing a foul in the box.
Utah cut the Sun Devils’ lead to 2-1 when Kaycee Buckley scored on a penalty kick in the 67th minute.
ASU would once again make it a two-goal lead when Tommi Goodman scored her second goal of the season in the 75th minute. Goodman’s goal came on a perfectly placed volley into the far post.
Marshall would put the game on ice when she scored her second goal of the game in the 83rd minute to give ASU a 4-1 lead. The goal was the product of an outstanding individual effort, as she grazed a free kick by Sierra Joseph with her head, redirecting the ball out of the reach of Utah goalkeeper Lindsey Luke.
With her two goals Thursday night, Marshall now has 15 career goals, tying her for 10th place on ASU’s all-time list.
The Sun Devils return to action Sunday when they host Colorado at 4 p.m.
