Before junior defender Kelly Dopke scored the improbable last-second goal against Boise State Aug. 25, there was a buzz in the Kibbie Dome. It was the first game the Idaho soccer team played in the Dome and it was in front of record-setting attendance.
The Vandals prepped for the free kick. A large, roaring Idaho crowd set the scene. Time started to tick and the unlikely became reality.
“(Boise State) thought they had won the game at that point, but it only takes one second to score a goal, as you can tell,” Dopke said.
That moment against the Broncos was intended for Dopke.
