PULLMAN, Wash. – The Idaho soccer team continued its spring schedule Saturday with an exhibition at Washington State University, falling to the Cougars 3-2 in Pullman.

The Vandals tailed 1-0 at halftime, and fell behind 3-0 in the second half before Melissa Canite and Megan Lopez netted goals to pull the Vandals within one.

“We had much better ball pressure in the second half,” Idaho coach Pete Showler said. “We gave them too much time and space in the first half, and we were able to cut that down some in the second half.”

The Vandals will return to action next week, playing at home for the first time this spring when Central Washington visits Moscow. The teams will play on the SprinTurf field at 10 a.m.

“Hopefully we can put what we learned to today into practice next week, and get better next weekend,” Showler said.

The Vandals will wrap up their spring season with the Alumni Game on April 24 at 10 a.m.
