The Idaho State University women’s soccer team played two tough games this past weekend in Pocatello against the Weber State Wildcats, with Friday’s game ending in a 1-1 draw and Saturday’s game culminating with a 3-1 victory for Weber State.

Idaho State grad student Michaela Didericksen led Friday’s game in shots, with three shots at the goal. Idaho State University player, senior Lauren McGahie, scored the single goal for the Bengals in both Friday and Saturday’s games.

We went down early on, and they scored two goals back to back. We responded from that by scoring ourselves just a few minutes later,” said Coach Debs Brereton in an interview after Saturday’s game. “The Big Sky is a tough conference, and on any day, anyone can beat any one of the teams. I think today was a really important lesson, credit for them to take the lead and progress on that lead so quickly, but our players responded big time. It’s a tough lesson, but we never doubt the players. We never doubt their ability to play the game. It just takes time. It takes time to build and I’m really happy that they’ve laid it all out there today. They worked very hard, but it just wasn’t our day today at all.”

The Bengals will play their last two games in Cedar City, Utah this Fri. April 9, and Sun., April 11, taking on the Southern Utah Thunderbirds.
