Vandals Move on in WBI Play
MOSCOW, Idaho—Idaho women's basketball head coach Jon Newlee is no stranger to getting his team into the postseason. Wednesday was a bit different. Idaho's 64-57 win over Utah State to open the Women's Basketball Invitational marked Newlee's first postseason win as Vandal.
Idaho (18-14) got down early on in the contest. Utah State got out to a 7-0 lead in the first three minutes of the opening frame. Brooke Reilly got Idaho on the board with a 3-pointer, igniting a 7-0 run to tie the game with 6:39 to go in the period. USU momentarily regained the lead, 12-10, before a second 7-0 run handed Idaho a 17-12 lead.
