Boise State 2, Louisiana Tech 1 (2OT)
Erica Parks and Shannon Saxton combined on two goals as Boise State rallied past Louisiana Tech for a 2-1 overtime victory in the quarterfinals of the Western Athletic Conference Tournament at Ruston, La., Thursday afternoon. Both scores were nearly identical with Saxton crossing the ball from the right wing into the box where Parks finished it off. The decisive strike came in the 102nd minute when Parks beat the La Tech keeper for the match winner from 16 yards out. Dating back to last year's tournament in Boise, Parks has now scored a goal in the last four WAC Tournament matches for Boise State including three straight match-winners.
