ABOUT IDAHO STATE
The Bengals look to rebound after five straight losses including the first home defeats since early 2011. The streak also includes losses to Hawai'i and Florida Gulf Coast at the Outrigger Hotels and Resorts Soccer Classic last week in Honolulu.
The Bengal defense has struggled against the top-notched competition including the highly ranked Texas Tech squad which was the first loss of the five-match streak.
The match with Wyoming will be the final non-conference match before starting Big Sky Play against Eastern Washington next Thursday.
LAST MATCH: FLORIDA GULF COAST
