CALDWELL, Idaho –  The Bushnell women's soccer team put an end to College of Idaho's five-match shutout streak, but couldn't come out with a victory as they fell 3-1 on Saturday.
 
The Beacons (2-6, 0-3 CCC) were peppered on defense all afternoon, but held their own as the Yotes out-shot them, 38-7. 21 shots on goal equated to an incredible 18 saves for Bushnell keeper Anabel Mendez (pictured), breaking a school record which had stood since 2013.
 
The College of Idaho (7-2, 4-0) struck first, getting on the scoreboard in the seventh minute. The Beacons had an answer in the 16th minute as Blake Danna took a pass from Bella Hernandez and scored from 20 yards out for the equalizer.
 
The game remained tied until late in the second half when the Yotes finally broke through in the 69th minute. They added an insurance goal just four minutes later.
 
"I am really proud of the girls," said head coach Benny Flores. "They played with conviction and heart tonight against a very good College of Idaho team. They are one of the best in the conference and we were in the game until the end. I really like the way the ladies are developing and we are looking forward to playing at home next weekend."
 
Bushnell comes home on October 1 for the first of six straight games at Les Schwab Sports Park as they will face off with Multnomah University (1-4, 0-3) at 3:00 pm.
