Just three days later against Idaho State on Sunday, Fox played 55 minutes off the bench and finished with four shots, including the most important shot of the game. Off a Tessa Thornton feed by way of Brynlee Rider, Fox finished from outside the box to the goalkeeper's right in the 86^th minute to put Utah Tech ahead 4-3, a result that would hold as Utah Tech earned its fifth victory of the season.
