Pocatello, ID--Montana scored two first half goals and kept Idaho State scoreless as the Grizzlies defeated Idaho State 2-0 Sunday afternoon in a Big Sky matchup at Davis Field.
With the loss, Idaho State falls to 5-5-3 overall, 0-2-1 in Big Sky play. Montana improves to 6-5-2 overall, 2-0-1 in league play.
The Grizzlies got on the board early, scoring in the seventh minute when Tara Schwager rebounded a ball off the post and into the net for the score. Montana scored again in the 41st minute when Meghan Chambers got a ball that bounced high off the ground and headed it into the goal for the score.
"This was a tough loss to take," said ISU head coach Mark Salisbury. "Montana is a great team and they play very physical. We gave up two early goals that we shouldn't have given up. It's hard to play against a team like Montana, who plays very aggressive, using four forwards up top."
