Vandals Ice Grizzlies
Idaho women’s basketball team had ice in its veins, and not just because of the weather outside.
Combining a hot first half of scoring with stone-cold defense, the Vandals came away with a 86-59 win over Montana Thursday night in Missoula.
Idaho’s head coach Jon Newlee said he was glad to get a win over a familiar foe.
“I have spent a lot of bus rides from here not being too happy. I am really proud of my team tonight. I thought they came in and played with a lot of energy and enthusiasm,” Newlee said.
The Vandals took a while to warm up and missed four consecutive shots following a short jumper by junior post Geraldine McCorkell. Luckily for Idaho, Montana also missed four consecutive shots.
