Last time on the pitch: The Thunderbirds took the pitch on September 3rd as they hosted the San Jose State Spartans in their 3rd home game of this five-game stretch. The Spartans came out strong, scoring in the eighth minute and the 74th minute off a T-Bird own goal. SUU clawed their way back into the game in the 86th minute when Ellen Lunderberg fired a set-piece to Ellie Vasey, who finished a header into the back of the net. The T-Birds continued to fight hard and apply pressure but couldn't find the equalizer.
