SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – K-State put together its best offensive night in a Big 12 match in program history, as the Wildcats thumped Utah, 5-0, on Thursday night in the 2026 finale at Ute Field.

HOW IT HAPPENED
- Senior forward Rilyn Rintoul opened the scoring ledger in the 30th minute. Rintoul maneuvered and danced her way to the top of the Utah (4-10-5, 1-7-3) six-yard box before sending a hard low shot into the lower right corner.
. Utah challenged the goal, looking for a possible offside, but after a Video Assisted Review (VAR), the goal was upheld.
- The goal was Rintoul's fifth of the season, establishing a new career-high for a season. This was her second game-winning goal of the season, notching the winner at Iowa State.
- In the 32nd minute, sophomore forward Gabby DeMers outraced a Utes defender to a long ball. She tipped a shot toward the Utah frame from the top of the 18-yard box, as Utah goalkeeper Anna Solomon came off her line to play the ball. Solomon brought DeMers down without touching the ball but a foul was not immediately given. K-State challenged the play moments later and after VAR, a penalty kick was awarded to K-State.
- DeMers blasted her attempt into the left side of the netting to give K-State a 2-0 lead. This was K-State's first penalty kick attempt of the 2026 season and the first of DeMers' career.
- The goal was the seventh of the season for DeMers, tying her for the school record for goals in a season. She also secured the school record for points in a season with 17.
- In the 48th minute, two minutes and 16 seconds into the second half to be exact, sophomore defender Lailah Benz put the Wildcats on top 3-0. Utah attempted to clear a K-State corner kick. The ball found the foot of freshman Lauren Moylan. She served a pass across the defensive line and Benz redirected the orb just under the crossbar. The goal was the first of Benz's career.
- In the 53rd minute, Rintoul added to her performance firing in her second unassisted goal of the night. Rintoul raced in on goal and sent a laser past Solomon into the right netting from nine yards at the left post. This was the first career multi-goal night for Rintoul. She joins junior forward Adelle Francis with a multi-goal Big 12 match this season. Rintoul is the 10th player in program history with a multi-goal match.
- Rintoul's six goals this season are tied for third in program history for a single season.

FROM THE HEAD COACH
K-State Head Coach Colleen Corbin
On winning the match through the midfield…
"We knew winning the midfield battle was going to be a huge key to our success tonight, and I thought the team did a great job competing and finding a way to manage the ebbs and flows the match presented. Our grit and intentionality to fight and dig out second balls definitely led to a lot of our offensive opportunities and stifled a lot of their momentum as well."

On Rilyn Rintoul's two-goal night…
"Rilyn came out flying tonight and it was so fun to watch. She has continued to be dangerous and cause problems all season, so I am really happy for her that she was able to see the ball hit the back of the night tonight twice."

On the goal from Lailah Benz to open the second half…
"Lailah's goal was huge. We wanted to come out of halftime competing like it was 0-0 and her scoring that goal to start the half was massive to elevate our confidence and energy. She has grown so much this season and I am really proud of how she has stepped into her role on our team. Also, we have been really intentional about wanting to be more dangerous on set pieces, so it was great to have so much success in that area tonight."

On what she hopes the returners take from a win like this into the offseason…
"This was a challenging season filled with some awesome highs but also some very real adversity. The team always had a choice – to continue to show up and compete, or to throw in the towel and feel sorry for themselves – and tonight was a tangible showing of the team's continued belief and love for one another. There will always be challenges but how we continue to show up and compete will always be a choice. I couldn't be more proud of the performance that was put on display tonight, I know that it will carry us all into the offseason more hungry than ever."

On if this is proof of concept for the team over the last two seasons…
"Weare really proud of the buy-in and belief from the team over these past two seasons. We have seen tremendous growth in so many areas and the records are just one small, tangible piece of evidence we have to show for it. There is so much to be proud of and still so much left to grow in and strive for. I am really grateful to the entire team and the work they put in this year. We are looking forward to what's next as we head into the offseason."
