Box Score

Pocatello, ID--Kilee Quigley scored a first half goal and Jana Boehler added the game-winning score in the second half to help Idaho State to a 2-1 win over San Jose State Friday afternoon in the Idaho State Classic at Davis Field. The win pushes ISU's record to 3-3-1, while SJSU falls to 0-5-2.

"I'm proud of the way the team executed our game plan today," said ISU head coach Allison Gibson. "We were able to attack at the right times and we played well together defensively."

Quigley put the Bengals on the scoreboard first, heading a ball into the back of the net off an Annamarie Hofstetter cross at the 37:30 mark. The goal is the first of the season for Quigley.

"It was a great goal," Gibson said. "Kilee always does a good job of getting her head on the ball and she was able to direct it to the right place. Annamarie couldn't have placed the cross in a better spot. A lot of credit goes to both players."

Boehler put the game-winning goal in the back of the net in the 50th minute, receiving a pass from Chelsea Cox from about 12 yards out on the right side of the box. Natalie Graham and Cox were each credited with assists on the score.

"The ball was controlled very well on Jana's goal," Gibson said of the game winner. "I think our defensive pressure contributed to the goal as well."

San Jose State got its goal in the 70th minute from Jennifer Guadagnolo, who sent a shot from 25 yards out and over the head of ISU keeper Maren Eves. Liz Behlen assisted Guadagnolo's first goal of the season.

Idaho State controlled the majority of the game, taking a 20-10 shot advantage, including a 9-3 edge on goal. Graham registered a game-high eight shots with four on goal. Boehler had five shots and Quigley added four. Eves played all 90 minutes in goal, collecting a pair of saves.

The Bengals return to action at the Idaho State Classic on Sunday when the team hosts Air Force at 2 p.m.

NOTES: Northern Iowa defeated Air Force 1-0 on a penalty kick in overtime in the first game of the Idaho State Classic... San Jose State will take on NIU on Sunday at 11 a.m. at Davis Field.
