classic soccer on Facebook tonight

Idaho athletics will keep the throwbacks going this week with a shortened version of Idaho’s 2017 soccer matchup with Boise State tonight at 6 p.m.

The match will be shown at facebook.com/VandalAthletics. Fans can also catch up with student-athlete Claire Johnson, who will be going live on Instragram (@Vandal_Athletics) during the game with special guests throughout the night.

Idaho soccer moved indoors for the first time, becoming the first NCAA Division I school to have its soccer program all of its home games inside. The Vandals packed the Kibbie Dome for the match with 4,171 fans, the largest crowd at an NCAA game played indoors.
