Bronco Soccer Team Moves to 2-0

The exciting Boise State soccer team powered their way to a 4-1 win over North Dakota State to wrap up the Holiday Inn Classic at the Boas Tennis and Soccer Complex yesterday.

Katy Oehring booted her fourth career goal in the 13th minute, hitting a free kick just past the near post from 20 yards away.  It was the only goal of the first half, but the Broncos came out strong in the second, scoring three goals in less than 11 minutes.  Senior Lauren Hickok set up freshman Anna Popma with a volley that Popma sent in from five yards out, giving Popma her first collegiate goal.  Shannon Schuren scored in the 74th minute as she took a pass from Mandy Nader and let fly a 35-yarder that bounced over McCormick and into the net.  Hickok scored in the 82nd minute, set up by a booming kick by Ashley Hruby, which surprised the Bison defense.  Hickok was one-on-one with Bison goalkeeper Katie McCormick, and her goal made it 3-1.  

For the second game, the aggressive Broncos dominated, holding a 21-5 shot advantage.  

So Boise State won their tournament, and the Lady Broncos know that if they play aggressive, they have their best chance to win.  That's a strategy they can take to Pullman this Friday and beat Washington State with.
