College of Idaho Downs NCU for 8th Consecutive Shutout Victory
CALDWELL, Idaho - Erika Mouritsen scored her Cascade Conference leading tenth goal of the season as The College of Idaho notched their eighth-straight shutout, blanking Northwest Christian, 4-0, at a blustery Simplot Stadium.
Fighting a 25 mile-per-hour wind, the Lady Yotes (10-1, 5-0 CCC) dominated play, holding a 25-3 shot advantage to win their school-record eighth-straight match.
The Coyotes got on the board in the 18th minute, as Chelsea Heffner corralled a clearing back from the Beacons (2-10, 1-3) defense, eluded keeper Calie McVicker, and flicked home her fifth goal of the year. The C of I would add another in the 33rd minute, as Mouritsen pounced on a long cross from Kirsten Olson and slotted it home to make it 2-0.
After pitching a shutout in goal in the first half, Kelly Hardegree-Ullman moved to a forward, touching home a goal in the 59th minute off a great cross from Heffner. The Yotes would close the scoring in 68th minute on a score from Kayla Bigelow.
NCU did not take a shot in the first half, as the C of I defense clamped down, extending their consecutive minutes streak without allowing a goal to 721. The Yotes had a 5-0 edge in corner kicks, but were whistled for nine offsides violations, courtesy of the Beacons offsides trap.
The Lady Yotes return to action tomorrow afternoon, hosting Corban College at 2 p.m.
