The 49ers showed why they are expected to be one of the West Coast’s premier clubs this season in a 3-0 drubbing of the visiting BYU Cougars at George Allen Field on Thursday.  Sophomores Kristen Kiefer and Lindsay Bullock netted goals and freshman Shawna Gordon scored her first goal as a 49er to hand the Beach a dominating “W.”
