The Idaho women’s basketball team earned a 67-55 win over in-state rival Idaho State to win the Big Sky Conference tournament championship and clinch a berth in the NCAA Tournament.
The title marks the third time in four years Vandal head coach Jon Newlee has taken the team to the NCAA tournament.
Freshman guard Mikayla Ferenz was named the Big Sky tournament’s Most Valuable Player and was given All-Tournament honors. Ferenz sank four 3-pointers and led the Vandals with 18 points.
“I couldn’t ask for a better freshman year,” Ferenz said.
