Star of the game: Idaho State’s photographer Julie Hillebrant. She took the photo above and it’s awesome.

The play happened with about five minutes left in regulation. Ellsworth unleashed a left-footed shot that arched towards the upper left of Weber’s net, a pretty piece of soccer from Ellsworth. But check out that save by Weber’s goalkeeper Ryann Waldman. Hey, speaking of keepers ...

Star(s) of the game: Idaho State goalkeeper Sheridan Hapsic and Weber State goalkeeper Ryann Waldman. The two opposing keepers combined for 13 saves (nine of those by Hapsic) and each can be credited with keeping their team in it.

If either Hapsic or Waldman would have had an off game, their team would have lost — easily (for reference, check out the photo above).

Extra note: I gleaned a couple comments from fans at the game and felt the need to share.

As heard from a Weber State fan ...
   
“Which one is your granddaughter on the team!” Then she turned to her pals and said, “I said granddaughter so she’d think I thought she looked that old!”

As heard from an Idaho State fan ...

“Oh, come on, everybody on their team is a theater major!”

Both comments are hilarious. I did some investigating and Weber State does have a bachelor’s degree in theatre. Unfortunately, Weber’s athletic website doesn’t list its players majors. So there’s just no way to confirm that ISU fan’s belief the ENTIRE Wildcat soccer squad are theatre majors.
