MOSCOW, Idaho - - Utah State's women's soccer team opened up conference play with a 1-0 win over Idaho Thursday evening. The win was the second in a row for Utah State, bringing them to 3-5 on the season and 1-0 in conference play. Idaho is now 5-5 on the year.

Despite outshooting the Aggies eight to four in the first period neither Idaho nor Utah State could capitalize on its opportunities as both teams went into halftime scoreless. Senior Michaela Hawes (St. George, Utah) was credited with two saves in the period.

The second period continued to be a dual between the two teams as neither team could find the net in the first 19 minutes of play. Finally Utah State sophomore Katie Seaman (Taylorsville, Utah) scored the game winning goal at 69:47 on a shot that deflected off the goalkeeper's hands to find the back of the net. Hawes recorded four additional saves in the period to bring her total to six on the night. The shutout was the second of the year for Hawes, and the fourth of her career.

Utah State will continue its road trip as it heads to Cheney, Washington to take on Eastern Washington Saturday, Sept. 30 at 12 p.m.
