Makayla Presgrave had a great game, tying her season-high with seven saves in her second shutout of the year.

The last meeting was anything but a defensive struggle, with Seattle U. eventually winning, 5-3. Idaho scored two early, with
Kelly Dopke and
Morgan Crosby finding the back of the net, but Seattle U. rallied back with four straight goals over a 27 minute stretch.
Claire Johnson got the Vandals back in things midway through the second half, with a 35-yard bomb, but the Redhawks picked up an insurance goal 10 minutes later to seal the win.
