Star of the game: Sheridan Hapsic. Idaho State’s sophomore goalkeeper made every big save she needed to against the Eagles. She finished with four saves, and it felt like she was in control of the match (with the exception of when Taylor McBride had to head away a would-be goal in the first half).

Second star: Off the bench, Kiley Godfrey. ISU head coach Allison Gibson says Godfrey would prefer to start, but she’s a real asset as a role player providing instant energy.
    There’s times when Godfrey drives her head coach nuts. Her natural style of play doesn’t always fit in with the Bengals’ system (i.e. she has a tendency to over dribble). But when she’s working with her teammates, her natural offensive capabilities is an absolute game changer.
    “She’s such a phenomenal player,” Gibson said. “And when she plays, she proves that she’s one of the best players on the field. So I was really happy with that. I just told her, ‘Now we know how you can play. So you can’t let down.’”
