Opinion: A Pierce-ing victory

Coming into the Cal State Fullerton matchup, junior guard Taylor Pierce was fourth on the Idaho women’s basketball all-time 3-point leaderboard. Then, she moved to third.

Monday night, Pierce jumped a spot in the Idaho record books and it came in astonishing fashion. The second 3-pointer she made gave her sole-possession, but she wasn’t done there.

The first half ended perfectly for Pierce. She had 24 points, went 8-8 on 3-point opportunities and did not miss a single field goal.

Teammates continued to feed Pierce the ball, and she continued to shoot.

The dominating performance made Pierce a target going forward, but she still splashed buckets the entire night.
