MOSCOW, Idaho – It was a tough evening for Idaho soccer (4-5-1, 0-1-0) on Friday, as the Vandals dropped their Big Sky opener to Northern Arizona (6-4-0, 1-0-0), 2-1, in overtime. 
 
The Vandals had the majority of the possession in the first half, but the Lumberjacks took control to start the second.
 
Taylor Brust broke the draw in the 29^th minute, scoring her first collegiate goal.  The play got started on a corner kick taken by Bridget Daley.  After a poor clearance from the Lumberjack defense, Ashlee Workman reset the play by sending in a ball over the top.  Brust was in the right spot, redirecting the pass with a header to put the Vandals up, 1-0.
 

 
The Lumberjacks leveled the score early in the second.  NAU's Adrian Nixt was able to get a shot off from close range, forcing Makayla Presgrave to make a tremendous save.  The rebound took an NAU bounce, however, falling to the feet of Paige Maling who finished with ease.
 
NAU netted the game-winner In the 93^rd minute, with Nixt finishing from out front.
 
The Vandals return to action on Sunday at 1 p.m., with Sacramento State making its way to the Kibbie Dome.
