CALDWELL, Idaho – The College of Idaho secured another trip to the Cascade Conference Championships presented by U.S. Bank with a 1-0 defeat of Multnomah on Friday afternoon at Simplot Stadium.
Madison Glascock scored the lone goal for either side in the 55th minute off of a failed clearance by the Lions (1-13-0, 0-11-0 CCC). Presented with a golden opportunity, the sophomore won her 1-v-1 battle by placing the ball in the lower left of the net.
The Yotes (6-5-4, 5-4-2 CCC) spent the majority of the match on the Multnomah side of the field, leading to a 27-3 advantage in shots for the contest and a 19-1 edge in corner kicks.
C of I goalkeeper
Kylee Atkins faced just three shots, saving the solo attempt that was on frame on the way to the sixth shutout of the season for the squad.
It was a busy day on the attacking end for the Yotes offense, which was paced by the five shots of
Chloe Teets, four from Glascock and three from
Alexa Rierson and
Emma Powley.
Multnomah keeper Trisha Priest minimized the damage from the onslaught of shots by hauling in 13 saves and yielding just one goal.
The win secured the sixth consecutive appearance for the Yotes in the CCC tournament, with just one match remaining on the regular season slate to determine seeding. C of I has now made the postseason on 15 occasions in program history, including two consecutive trips to the conference semifinals.
