Box Score CALDWELL, Idaho – The College of Idaho used a three goal barrage in a four minute span late in the opening period to surge past Warner Pacific 4-1 in Caldwell.

The C of I got on the board in the eighth minute, as Jessica Ayala touched a through-ball to the streaking Sarah Hicks, who beat WP keeper Lynzee Felder to the far post for a 1-0 lead.  After a trio of near misses, the Yote reserves strung together an impressive run – starting in the 37th minute.  Sydney Woods collected the rebound of a Brianna Strodtbeck shot outside the box and looped a left-footed shot over Felder for a 2-0 lead.

Just 33 seconds later, Brittney Lacey played a cross into the middle of the area, finding Mekenzie Messick, who flicked a ball into the twice for a 3-0 lead.  Three minutes later, Strodtbeck played a ball to Brianna Blair at the top of the 18, looping a shot over Felder's head to complete the run – as the Yotes held a commanding 13-1 edge in first half shots.

The Knights picked up the tempo in the second half – getting on the board in the 53rd minute, as Anna Blakeslee collected a loose ball a step inside the box and one-timed a shot into the right corner of the net.  WP would control the tempo for the next 20 minutes, but could not crack the Yote defense.

The C of I held a 15-10 edge in total shots, while the Knights had a 6-5 edge in corner kicks.
