After a blowout loss to Eastern Washington on the road two weeks ago, the Idaho women’s club hockey team responded with a strong performance over the weekend in the Palouse Care Cup in Lewiston.
The Vandals earned three straight tournament wins before falling to the Eagles in the championship game on Sunday.
In Idaho’s opener on Friday against the Rink Divas, defenseman Brianna Smith scored the first goal of the tournament for the Vandals just two minutes into the game. The defenseman capitalized on an earlier deflection and shot the puck past the goaltender into the left side of the net.
