Vandals win in overtime on Senior Day

MOSCOW, Idaho – The Idaho Vandals (4-11-2, 1-4-2 BSC) closed out the home schedule with a thrilling 2-1 overtime win over Southern Utah (0-14-1, 0-6-1 BSC) on Senior Day on Sunday afternoon.

With 17 seconds remaining in the first overtime period, the Vandals earned a free kick outside of the box. Taylor Brust stepped up and for the second time in two games, scored off a free kick, this time a rocket into the right corner of the net. The goal sealed the extra time win for Idaho.

Idaho took the initial lead just before halftime. With less than a minute to go until the break, Brooke Sosa crossed the ball in from the right flank, finding Berglind Baldursdóttir in front of the goal who volleyed it into the back of the net. It was the freshman's first career goal.

The Vandals controlled possession for most of the game, with the Thunderbirds only getting two shots off. However, with just over two minutes to play, Amberly Hastings took just the third shot for SUU and first shot on goal and tied up the game, 1-1, to send the match to overtime.

Julia Byerlein earned the win in goal for Idaho, playing all 100 minutes.  

The Vandals are back in action next weekend for the final regular season games of the year. Idaho plays on Friday at Sacramento State at 3 p.m.
