Bronco Soccer Team Gets a Key Victory Over Portland State

The Boise State soccer team has struggled to a 2-4 mark this season.  Hopefully they got the dramatic win last night to help them turn their season around.





Freshman Shannon Schueren headed home the game-winning goal in the 106th minute as Boise State topped host Portland State 1-0 in the opener of the Viking Soccer Classic last night in Portland.  Senior Chelsea Robinson set up Schueren with a cross from the right corner and Schueren headed it to the left corner of the goal past the outstretched arms of the Portland State keeper.


"Chelsea did all the work down the line, beating a couple players and got a great cross in," said Schueren. "I was just at the right place at the right time."  Schueren is now tied for the team lead in points (5) with Kati Lucas.


Both teams sent seven shots on goal but none found their target until Schueren found the net.  Talented Bronco keeper Liz Ruiz achieved her second straight shutout and earned her third win of the season.  Ruiz now has 25 career wins, two short of the Boise State record set by Kim Parker.


"It was a good game and a good road win and I'm happy that we are starting to put things together and do what we want to do," said head coach Steve Lucas.


The Broncos continue play in Portland tomorrow (Sunday) at noon Mountain Time against Cal Poly.  The Mustangs downed Seattle 2-1 in their opening match of the Classic.
