Moscow, Idaho – The Idaho women's soccer team celebrated Senior Day in style on Sunday, clinching a first-round bye in the upcoming Big Sky Conference tournament and finishing an unbeaten home campaign with a 4-0 win over Idaho State.

The Vandals did much of their damage on set-pieces. Idaho opened the scoring in the 27th minute off a corner kick when Alyssa Peters served a dime to the far post where Sienna Gonzalez headed it home for her fourth goal of the season to put Idaho ahead 1-0.

Idaho extended the lead in the 32nd minute, scoring again on a set piece. This time it was a long free kick from Peters that found Annika Farley, who headed it to Jadyn Hanks, who beat her defender to score her third goal of the season.

The Vandals added to their lead early in the second half on yet another set piece. It was Peters dishing another perfectly-placed corner kick, and this time Farley finished it herself, notching her fifth goal of the season to put Idaho ahead 3-0. It was Peters' third assist of the game and 13th of the season, which ties the Big Sky single-season record. Peters, who already owns the league's career assist record, ballooned that total to 32 career assists Sunday.

Maddy Lasher completed the scoring for Idaho in the 74th minute when she hustled for a loose ball off a Gonzales shot and beat ISU goalkeeper Trinity Hale to make it 4-0 Idaho. It was Lasher's second goal of the season.

The win seals an unbeaten home record for Idaho, as the Vandals finish 7-0-1 at home in 2024 and broke the program's home winning percentage record set by the 2018 squad that went 6-0-1 at home.

Idaho controlled the game throughout, and finished with a 22-6 advantage in shots and a 16-4 lead in shots on goal. Idaho also had a 7-5 edge in corner kicks for the game.

Vandal goalkeeper Paula Flores recorded her second-consecutive shutout and seventh of the season, and she passed her counterpart, Idaho State's Hale, on Sunday for the conference lead in that category. Flores needed four saves in the shutout.

Hale, meanwhile, made 12 saves, but it wasn't enough to slow down a relentless Vandal offense. The Vandals have scored at least once in all 17 games this season and lead the Big Sky Conference with 33 goals scored on the season.

Idaho remains in first place in the Big Sky Conference after the win. Idaho has 16 points in the standings with one game to play, a road game at Northern Colorado on Oct. 27, and sits two points ahead of Montana, which has two league games – and an opportunity to collect six more points – remaining.
