2 members of Highland’s 2025 consolation trophy-winning girls’ soccer squad sign to play in college

POCATELLO — Two Highland High School seniors made their commitments to play college soccer official during a joint ceremony in the school’s gym Wednesday.

Taryn Roth signed a letter of intent to attend and play soccer at the College of Idaho, while Ashlyn Hale signed with the University of Colorado Colorado Springs.

Roth was second on the team this season with 15 goals in 18 games, adding six assists for 36 total points — also second on the team. Her best match of the season came during the district tournament, when the Rams beat Rigby 9-0 to claim the district title. The forward finished that Oct. 8 game with three goals and two assists.

Highland went 0-2 at the state tournament this year, losing 3-1 to eventual champion Timberline and 2-1 in overtime to Coeur d’Alene.

Hale missed the entirety of her senior season due to a knee injury, meaning the last game she played as a Rams earned the school a state trophy — a 2-1 overtime victory over Mountain View in the 2025 consolation game.

She scored seven goals last season as a junior, adding five assists from her midfield position. In three seasons of varsity soccer with the Rams, Hale scored 14 goals, including a one-goal, two-assist game on Oct. 6, 2025 against Rigby.
