The Weber State women’s soccer team got that reminder Thursday night when the much-improved Wildcats suffered a 1-0 setback to one-win Portland State at Wildcat Soccer Field.

The tally that mattered: Aliayha Saldana punched one in, assisted by Bianca Potesta, in the 11th minute. That made Portland State 2-5-2 this season with a win in its Big Sky opener.

The other numbers looked great. Weber outshot PSU 6-3 in shots on goal, and 20-5 overall. That included a second-half barrage of 14 shots for WSU, and six of their nine corner kicks in a 9-1 advantage for the match.

At 8-5 overall and 2-1 in conference play, Weber State still leads the conference table with six points. Five teams lurk behind with four points.

WSU is next in action Thursday, Oct. 9, at Montana (7-3-2, 4 points) and returns home Sunday, Oct. 12, to host Sacramento State (5-7-1, 4 points).
