BIG SKY ROUND-UP ####
Eastern Washington 2-0 Northern Colorado
The two sides were deadlocked for over an our before a ball from Lexi Klinkenberg sprung Saige Lyons on a run to goal in the 61st minute. Nine minutes later Jenny Chavez launched a long ball from about 40 yards that soared over the reach of the keeper and into the back left corner of the goal. Emily Busselman (Richland, WA / CC Spokane) finished out the clean sheet for the Eags.
Idaho 2-1 North Dakota

They held the advantage for over 40 minutes before the hosts tied it up in the 70th. Eight minutes later Bridget Daley and Malia Morales fed a clearance back in to goal where Myah Merino chipped it over the keeper for the win.
