One to Watch

The Logger Women's Soccer team has earned a spot in the United Soccer Coaches DIII National poll, coming in at No. 25 in the national rankings. After an undefeated start to their season, the Loggers have been putting on quite a performance. They started with a six-point weekend on their trip to Walla Walla, including a 3–1 victory over The College of Idaho Yotes. This win gained the Loggers national attention, as the Yotes are one of the top 10 teams in the NAIA. The Loggers play Pacific Lutheran University on Sept. 23 at Baker Stadium.
