Yotes Drop CCC Title Game to Northwest

EUGENE, Ore. - In a highly physical and thrilling game, the College of Idaho women's soccer program dropped the CCC title game to Northwest, 2-1.

Northwest, coming into the tournament as the regular season champions, scored early as Claire Jo Diede struck in the 12th minute off assists by Kayla Soderstrom and Anna Lau to take an early 1-0 lead. The eagles would hold the lead going into the break as that was their lone shot on goal in the half.

The game remained 1-0 until the 90th minute, as Chloe Teets scored off a deep free kick with 55 seconds remaining to tie the game at 1-1. The goal was the latest game-tying goal of the year for the Yotes, as well as the second latest goal of the year. The game remained tied through the first overtime, and Gracie Vanassche scored for the Eagles with six minutes left in the second overtime period which turned into the game-winning goal. 

The game saw a combined 32 fouls called, along with a combined six yellow cards and two red cards. 

The Yotes will find out their opponent in the NAIA tournament on Monday, with the selection show slated to start at 10 a.m.
