In 2014, Idaho women’s tennis left the Western Athletic Conference as champions.
The team, at the time led by head coach Jeff Beaman, capped off a 19-6 season by defeating New Mexico State 4-1 and taking home what would become the program’s final WAC title.
But the success didn’t stop there.
From 2015 to 2018, Idaho put forth a dominating run in their new home — the Big Sky Conference. Led by a strong young core of eventual program record holders, the Vandals would go on to win their next four conference championships.
That historic streak came to a screeching halt Saturday, as head coach Babar Akbar’s squad fell short in the conference championship in a 4-0 rout against Northern Arizona.
