Idaho’s 3-point queen chosen for nationally televised contest

The season came to an end for the University of Idaho women’s basketball team last week, but senior guard Taylor Pierce will get one more chance to showcase her 3-point prowess.

Pierce was chosen to compete in the 31st annual State Farm College Slam Dunk & 3-Point Championships on Thursday at Target Center in Minneapolis. The event starts at 7 p.m. MT on ESPN.

The Vandals lost to Arizona 68-60 on March 28 in the WNIT’s Round of 16. Pierce made six 3-pointers in the loss, increasing her season total to 154. The mark is tops in the nation this season and an NCAA single-season record.
