The Washington State soccer team began what would become an NCAA Tournament season on a strong note by trouncing Big Sky powerhouse Montana 8-1 in the final match of the Diadora Cup.

The Cougars scored three goals in the first 16 minutes of the contest, two of them coming off assists by junior midfielder Kim Morgan. Freshman Alix Rustrum scored first at the 5:25 mark. It was one of two goals of the day by the Wilsonville, Ore., native, who also added an assist on WSU's final goal of the match.

Rustrum was one of three players with two goals on the day, with Rodrick and junior transfer Nicole Wilcox also having multiple-goal matches. Senior Katrina Stroh and sophomore Christie Spear provided the rest of the scoring for WSU.
