Idaho soccer gave its final farewell to the 2018 senior class with its annual alumni game.
The game was played on the SprinTurf outside of the Kibbie Dome in rainy conditions, but was a rare time where the game is more than strategy and the score — it’s about seeing former teammates on the pitch for the last time.
The current Vandal soccer team played a 10-on-10 game on Saturday against the outgoing senior class, who will leave the program as the all-time winningest class in program history.
Senior Jordyn Dion connected on a strike from 25 yards out to give the seniors an early lead, but sophomore Kaysie Bruce was able to tie it up going into halftime.
As the game wound down in the second half, senior goalkeeper Makayla Presgrave made the move outside of the keeper’s box, moving to forward and getting a shot on goal, which was deflected, but senior Bridget Daley was able to get the put back goal.
Although this was not an official game, the senior class was able to pull away with a 2-1 win in a game that was for fun and allowed players to get to know one another while getting to show their competitive nature one more time.
