ABOUT IDAHO STATE

LAST MATCH: UTAH VALLEY
Allyson Stainbrook scored both goals as the Idaho State Bengals fell 4-2 to the Utah Valley Wolverines in the first ever soccer match played in Holt Arena Tuesday night.
The match was scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. at Davis Field but was delayed because of lightning. After an hour and a half delay the determination was made to play the match at Holt Arena. Temporary goals were brought in and lines were tapped onto the field turf to meet regulations.
The match started as a stalemate with no team gaining a big advantage until the 39th minute when Utah Valley's Sheridan Fox emerged from a scrum to score from six yards out.
The Wolverines scored another goal in the first half, after the break ISU and UVU each tallied two goals.
FIRST EVER MATCH PLAYED AT HOLT ARENA
Due to Lightning, Tuesday's match with Utah Valley was moved to Holt Arena. The match was the first played at Holt Arena and the first non-football or basketball event held in Holt Arena since softball played there in the early eighties.
