The Weber State soccer team held their annual Halloween costume practice on Thursday, leading up to the final game of their season against Idaho State.

“Usually we all just come here and we’re all laughing at each other,” said senior midfielder Mackenzie Peck. “Usually we take (the costumes off) right after. But this year we actually decided to play some games in them.”

Peck dressed up along with teammates Abbey Kennedy, Kellyn Ashby, Kendra Smith and Marissa Cook as characters from “The Mighty Ducks.”

“This year we probably had the best costumes out of all four years I’ve been here,” Peck said.

The Wildcats’ final game of the year will be at 3 p.m. on Friday against Idaho State.
