Boise’s Kaziah Hill ties record

Boise State’s Kaziah Hill scored 12 seconds into the match as the Broncos defeated San Jose State 2-1 to claim sole possession of second place in the WAC standings and clinch a berth into the league’s post season tournament in two weeks.

The Broncos broke out early as Hill stole a pass from the San Jose State defense on the opening possession, raced around one defender then sent a rocket from 12 yards out that beat the Spartan keeper to the left with 12 seconds gone in the first half for a 1-0 Boise State advantage. Boise State got their second goal in the 39th minute from Abbe Roche when she volleyed a corner kick into the net from five yards out to put Boise State up 2-0 at the half.

San Jose State dominated the second half pulling to within one goal in the 53rd minute on a goal from Kristina Jacob. For the game San Jose State out shot Boise State 11-8 but the Broncos had the advantage in shots on goal 5-4.

With the win Boise State improves to 9-5-1 overall and 4-2-0 in WAC action. The Broncos are on a record five game winning streak and are guaranteed of their first winning season in the program?s four year history. San Jose State drops to 5-11-0 overall and 3-4-0 in WAC action.
