Pocatello, Idaho – After a bout with the Utah Utes, the Bengals are headed home for their third match under the Davis Field lights and their last non-conference game of the 2024 season.
Idaho State is slated to face the Seattle University Redhawks this upcoming Thursday, September 19
th, at 7:00 pm for what figures to be a tough matchup. The last time these two teams faced off was nearly a decade and a half ago where the Bengals took it 2-1 to earn their 100
th all-time program victory, ending Seattle's 4 game win streak.
The Redhawks season has been a good one to say the least, silencing ISU's conference (and state) foe in Idaho 3-1, and handily beating Oregon State 4-1 (beat ISU 1-0).
The Bengals hope to bounce back against a formidable opponent as they prepare for conference play against the University of Northern Colorado on September 29
