WSOC | Gaels Fight Back But Fall in Overtime to Bengals

Saint Mary's showed resilience in their 2-1 loss to Idaho State on Friday.

POCATELLO, Idaho — The Gaels (3-4) fought back on Friday from being one goal down but ultimately fell to Idaho State, 2-1, in overtime. 

HOW IT HAPPENED
The Bengals (1-5-1) scored the golden goal during the ninth minute of overtime on a penalty kick to take the match. After the penalty was awarded, Karlin Wurlitzer rocketed a perfectly placed shot to the left upper 90 for the game-winner. 

Jaylen Crim scored her team-leading fourth goal of the season for Saint Mary's in the loss. Off a corner kick, Jordyn Cunningham took a shot that ended up at the feet of Crim who put her shot over the head of the Bengal keeper for the equalizer in the 51st minute. The senior is now one point short of tying her total from last year. 

Crim led all players in the match with six shots, three that came on goal. SMC took 20 total shots, the fourth time they've reached that plateau this year, compared to 14 by ISU. Maleah Milner made five saves in goal for the Gaels. 

Saint Mary's only used five substitutes during the match including Sophie Santos who took three shots in 55 minutes of play. Seven Gaels played over 90 minutes in the match. 

THOUGHTS FROM TRAVIS CLARKE
  • "It was a tough way to lose. Idaho State has a very small field and did a good job of making things hard on us. We did a good job getting back into the game but we missed too many shots in this one, we had four or five chances to win the game."
  • "This is group is too talented to lose these games. We need to find a way to win on the road." 
UP NEXT: PORTLAND STATE
  • Saint Mary's returns home for two home matches next week beginning with Portland State on Friday. Links for the match, including tickets, can be found on the team's schedule page.
