OLYMPIA, Wash. - The 17th-ranked College of Idaho women's soccer team won their fourth straight game on Friday, opening conference play with a 4-1 win over Evergreen State.
The Yotes offense has shined in the early part of the 2023 campaign, and Friday's game in Olympia was no different, as the team fired off 25 shots, with 16 off them on target.
Eden Makaafi has been a big part of that offense, as her personal hot streak continued. She scored the game's opening goal in the 14th minute, as the Yotes jumped out to a quick 1-0 lead. Makaafi would score again a few minutes into the second half for her fifth goal of the season.
Maddie Smith continued her impressive run as of late, scoring her fourth of the year in the 21st minute as the Yotes had a lead of 2-0 at the time. Evergreen was able to answer in the 71st minute as Peyton Rhyne put the ball in the back of the net for the Geoducks, making it a 3-1 Yotes lead.Â
Natasja Davis showed once again why she's one of the best goal scorers in the league, scoring her sixth goal of the season in the 81st minute, giving the Yotes a 4-1 lead which would hold to be the final.
The Yotes will return to action tomorrow in Kirkland, taking on the Northwest Eagles at 4 p.m.
