CEDAR CITY, Utah – It was a tough afternoon for the Vandals on Friday in Cedar City, with Idaho (4-6-2, 0-2-1) falling to Southern Utah (2-9-0, 1-2-0), 3-1.
 
Idaho controlled for most of the first half, but a handful of tough bounces paired with a couple of injuries helped give Southern Utah an early advantage.
 
The Thunderbirds got on the board first after an unfortunate bounce led to a 1-on-1 between Makayla Presgrave and SUU's Makenzie Lawrence.  Lawrence was true, putting Southern Utah up 1-0 just over 10 minutes in.  The Thunderbirds would double their advantage in the 30^th minute, scoring on another odd-man rush, to take the 2-0 advantage into the half.  Southern Utah struck again early in the second half.
 
Myah Merino got Idaho's lone goal on the night, finishing a header off a long ball with just over two minutes to play.
 
The Vandals will head back on the road next weekend to take on Northern Colorado and North Dakota.  Check back with GoVandals.com this week for more information on the matchups.
