CHENEY, Wash.­ — Playing for the Big Sky lead for the first time since 2013, the Portland State women's soccer team fell 3-0 on the road to preseason-favorite Eastern Washington Friday.

The Eagles outshot the Vikings 25-2 in their match Friday, and held Viking senior Katie Forsee without a shot for the first time this season.
 
Jenny Chavez put the Eagles up 1-0 in the 37th minute with a goal off a free kick from M'Kenna Hayes. Chloe Williams then doubled the Eagles' lead with her conference record-tying 39th career goal in the 48th minute.
