 It's tournament time as the BSU women's soccer team hosted their biggest game in program history as they hosted a beaver battle taking on Minot State in the first round of the NCAA regional tournament. Regular season matchup was 3-0 BSU but you can just throw out the records come to playoffs. In the 11th minute Rachel Norton fires the shot. Erin Rafferty makes the initial save with a rebound goes to Allison Smith. She buries it for BSU's first tournament goal in program history. In the second half sometimes it just comes down to who wants it more and Norton wanted it more than defense. Powers through three defenders. Shot goes off the post but off the goalie and in it's 2-0. Minot State looking to get on the board off the free kick the pass to Jordan Cook doesn't get much easier than that and it's a one goal game but in the 69th minute BSU puts it on ice the pass off the corner to Smith. Her shot gets through the traffic and past the keeper they take a three to one win as that's where it ends and after last year's heartbreaking loss in pks in the NCAA tournament you could tell that they wanted this one bad. Feels really good we wanted this really bad we knew that um if we ever got to the NCAA again that would really want to win that first game and just make history even farther. When you genuinely want something you're able to you know kind of get into that mental mind over matter game and I thought our girls did a great job of it today I thought they I thought they showed a desire with the way they played. Phobie she always saves her butt um she's the best goal in the conference I mean there's not much else I can say she works hard and she gets the job done and we're thankful that she's in that otherwise it'd be a different score. And next up for the Beavers they host the defending national champs Central Missouri on Sunday afternoon.
