Idaho’s prospects at winning Thursday’s game against Weber State looked bleak during the first half.
However, the Vandals rallied late to beat the Wildcats 95-77.
Idaho (7-8, 2-2) got things started on a short jumper by Brooke Reilly. The early lead vanished quickly when forward Jocelyn Adams scored in back-to-back possessions.
Sophomore guard Mikayla Ferenz tried to get open looks, but the tough Wildcat defense kept her from finding the basket three times in the opening minutes.
Guard Jaiamoni Welch-Coleman’s long 3-pointer sailed through the net for the first three of the game, putting Weber State up 7-4.
