Sayler Schlosser's second half header lifts Weber State to a semifinal victory as Lauren Butorac records another shutout
MISSOULA, Mont. – The Weber State women's soccer team is headed to the Big Sky Conference Championship after earning a 1-0 victory over Idaho in Friday's semifinal match at South Campus Stadium.
The top-seeded Wildcats found the breakthrough in the second half when Sayler Schlosser scored in the 69th minute, heading home a cross from Oakley Anderson at 68:12 to give Weber State the lead.
Weber State held off the Vandals for the remainder of the match to secure the victory and advance to Sunday's championship game. The Wildcats finished with six shots, including three on goal, while Idaho recorded nine shots with three on frame.
Goalkeeper Lauren Butorac came up with three saves to help preserve the shutout, adding another clean sheet to her standout season. The Wildcats' defensive effort proved crucial as they protected their second half advantage through the final whistle.
"I'm proud of the effort of the girls. These tournament games are always difficult. There's a lot of emotion and intensity involved," head coach Kyle Christensen said. "It was not the prettiest game in the world, but I thought we created enough opportunities to deserve that goal in the second half. They fought to the end to hold that lead, and I'm super happy with the group in their approach to the game. Now it's back to recovery and preparation for the finals."
The victory sends Weber State into Sunday's Big Sky Championship match, where the Wildcats will look to cap off their conference season with a tournament title. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. MT in Missoula.
