Soccer Weekly Game Notes: hosting Weber State

Pocatello, ID --- Idaho State University's soccer team will celebrate senior day on Saturday afternoon at 1:00 pm against arch-rival Weber State, with a couple of goals in mind. The Bengals will try and send off their four seniors, Maren Eves, Natalie Graham, Michelle Okomura, and Jill Christofferson with a win, which would clinch an undefeated home season for the first time in school history. That in turn would deny Weber State a chance to host the conference tournament, and possibly, with a little help, it will get the Bengals into the tournament as well.

The Bengals will know where their fate lies as soon as their game ends. The Bengals will qualify for the tournament if Montana either beats or ties Eastern Washington in Missoula on Friday afternoon. Then, the Bengals need for the Northern Colorado and Northern Arizona game to end in a tie. That game is in Greeley on Saturday at noon.

The Bengals defeated Weber State last year in Pocatello in the semifinals of the conference tournament on the way to their fourth College Cup. This game features a matchup of the last six conference title winners as ISU won in 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2006, and Weber State won in 2004 and 2005.
