Box Score

MOSCOW, Idaho – (UI Media Relations) It wasn’t pretty and it wasn’t satisfying, but it was still a victory for University of Idaho women’s soccer in the team’s home opener versus South Dakota on Sunday, and a dramatic one, at that. Vandal senior midfielder Jill Flockhart won a 50-50 ball on the corner of the 18-yard box, dribbled in and cut a diagonal back in front of goal to senior forward Chelsea Small, who popped it past the keeper from six yards to clinch the win at 103:33 of double-overtime. The win moves Idaho to 1-1-0 on the season and drops USD to 0-2-0. While head coach Peter Showler said he’s also satisfied to get a win, he wasn’t satisfied with the quality of Idaho’s play.
