PREVIEW – Idaho dominated Montana on Friday, 4-1, to open up Big Sky play.  Elexis Schlossarek got the scoring started in the 23^rd minute with a fantastic goal.  Schlossarek stole the ball from a Montana defender about 25 yards out, lined up her shot and fired a perfect left-footed shot into the back of the net.  Kavita Battan doubled the lead in a similar situation just four minutes later, creating a turnover and placing a great shot inside the far post.
 
Olivia Baggerly scored her second of the season midway through the second half on a rebound, while Emma Eddy got her first career goal on a great finish from a Schlossarek service just two minutes later.
