EVANSTON — Northwestern women's basketball continues to look very good to start non-conference play, as the team dominated the Idaho State Bengals, 72-36, at Welsh-Ryan Arena Thursday night.
Nia Coffey led the Wildcats with 16 points and 18 rebounds but the rest of the team had an off shooting night, managing 38.4 percent from the field and just 29.2 percent from three. However, Idaho State had no answer for Northwestern's constant defensive pressure and the outcome was never in doubt.
Taking cues from the football team, the Wildcats came into the game ranked 20th in the country and backed up their ranking with a dominant performance on defense.
