Gonzaga Women's Soccer Falls 3-0 to Boise State in Pac-12 Opener

In its first-ever Pac-12 game, Gonzaga women’s soccer (5-5-2, 0-1-0) battled Boise State (10-1-1, 2-0-0), a consensus top-two team in the conference. The game was a grudge match for the first half and a change, before the Broncos made several crucial open-field plays. Meanwhile, the Zags struggled to manufacture scoring chances in their first game in eight days and fell 3-0 on the road.

The final result doesn’t reflect how close the two teams played, as BSU’s last two goals came in the final five minutes. But they do represent the performance difference in high-leverage moments, which is why Boise State now has a program-record eight straight victories while GU has been fairly inconsistent so far this season.

After this win, the Broncos extended their incredible stretch, now notching a sixth shutout in seven games and 14 consecutive home victories. So the Zags shouldn’t be too beat on their play, even though it was a tough way to introduce themselves to a new league.
