BOISE, Idaho – Boise State soccer fell to No. 17 Utah State, 1-0, Sunday afternoon. The loss snapped the Broncos' (11-1-2, 3-1-0 Pac-12) nine-game win streak, the longest in program history.

The match was a tale of two halves, with the Aggies (11-2-2, 4-0-0 Pac-12) controlling the opening 45 minutes and the Broncos owning the second. Utah State outshot Boise State 11-10, including a slight 4-3 advantage in shots on goal.

The Aggies recorded three shots on goals to the Broncos' zero in the opening frame. Boise State outshot Utah State 8-4 in the final second half, allowing only one shot on goal. Maddie Donovan, Mia Lane and Campbell Wilson each notched a shot on goal late in the contest, but were unable to convert.

Utah State put points on the board first, with Rachel Reitz converting a penalty kick in the 23rd minute. The Aggies took seven shots in the opening half, compared to Boise State's two. Ava de Leest notched a pair of saves in the half as Boise State trailed 1-0 at the intermission.

Boise State responded by ramping up the aggression. Cindy Conner nearly found the back of the net in the 68th minute, with her shot attempt sailing just right of the goal post. Wilson had another opportunity off a free kick in the 87th minute that also barely missed right.

Boise State had a pair of corner kick opportunities in the final three minutes of action, but couldn't convert as Utah State left with the victory.

- The announced attendance of 1,473 is the highest attendance for a home conference match in program history. It was the second-most fans at a regular season contest in program history, trailing a home match against BYU on Aug. 26, 2023 when 1,620 fans were in attendance.

Quotables
"When you have these big moments and big opportunities, you want to be able to look yourself in the mirror and know you gave it your all. We couldn't say that after the first half but after that second half I think our group should be proud of themselves. We had a lot of opportunities to score and solved a lot of the problems we had in the first half." - head coach Jim Thomas

"We've played so well for so long. It's such a long season. That first half was a low moment for us but it won't define us. We have a wonderful team led by wonderful seniors. We'll use this to get better and be ready to go." - Thomas

What's Next
Boise State will remain in the Treasure Valley for a matchup against Oregon State on Oct. 17. Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. MT and will be broadcast on the Pac-12's Youtube channel.
