Boise State Soccer Team Squeaks By South Dakota 1-0


Freshman Shannon Schuren gave the Boise State soccer team all the offense it needed, booting a short kick to the back of the net to give the Lady Broncos a 1-0 victory over South Dakota this afternoon in two overtimes in Omaha, Nebraska.  Bronco senior goalkeeper Liz Ruiz tied Kim Parker as the winningest goalie in school history with her 26th career win.





Schuren headed in the game-winner just last week against Portland as well.  Katy Oehring juked past a defender and sent a cross to the waiting Schuren, who now has a team-leading three goals and seven points this season. 


Boise State outshot the Coyotes 10-4 in the first period but of course it's goals that matter and none found the mark.  


"We were really good in the first half," said head coach Steve Lucas. "We could have had one or two goals in the first 20 minutes and that would have changed the game but we let them stay in it."


Boise State is now 4-5 this season and will try to finally even its season mark when they go against Creighton Sunday at noon Mountain Time.
