BOISE, Idaho – Idaho State women’s soccer fell to in-state rival Boise State in a 3-2 overtime decision Sunday afternoon at the Boas Soccer Complex. Boise State improves to 3-3-0 on the season while ISU falls to 4-1-0.

     Senior midfielder Anna Pingree led Idaho State with two goals on the day. Pingree scored her first goal of the contest and second of the season at the 57:22 mark to tie the game 1-1. Sophomore forward Amanda Ellsworth assisted the goal. Pingree scored again at the 68:39 mark to put ISU up 2-1.

     “Anna stepped up huge for us today,” ISU Head Coach Allison Gibson said. “A lot of people may not recognize just how much of a presence she is for is until she scores but she just continues to own the midfield and air game for us and I’m just really happy for her to be able to get those goals today.”

     Boise State’s Katy Oehring tied the score 2-2 with a goal at the 73:58 and BSU’s Shannon Schueren scored the game winner in overtime at the 98:37 mark off a penalty kick.

     “We started out a little slow in the first half and were not executing our game plan and unfortunately we gave up a silly goal,” Gibson said. “We came out stronger in the second half and had the winning goal for about five minutes. Overtime was back and forth and it’s just unfortunate to lose like we did.”

    Overall ISU recorded nine shots with four on goal while BSU posted 14 shots with four on goal.

     Sophomore goalkeeper Maria Dela Cruz recorded one save and one goal allowed in 45 minutes of play while freshman goalkeeper Sheridan Hapsic allowed two goals and no saves in 53 minutes of play.

     Idaho State continues its seven game road stretch Friday, Sept. 7 against CSU Bakersfield in Bakersfield, Calif., before taking on Loyola Marymount Sunday, Sept. 9. Friday’s game begins at 7 p.m. while the contest against LMU begins at 12 p.m.
