MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) — Naomi Alvarez wasn't ready for her Vandal career to end. With the season on the line, she chipped a ball past the Portland State keeper in the 78th minute to put the Vandals on top with a lone goal while Paula Flores made three saves to record her ninth shutout of the season, lifting Idaho past Portland State 1-0 on Wednesday in the Big Sky Conference quarterfinals.
Idaho controlled possession most of the match, but couldn't find the back of the net until late in the second half.
