After a truly memorable run, the women’s basketball season has come to an end.
The Vandals lost 68-60 to the University of Arizona Wildcats Thursday in the third round of the Women’s National Invitational Tournament (WNIT). The loss ends Idaho’s longest postseason run in the WNIT in more than 15 years.
Idaho’s offense struggled in the first half to find any footing beyond the arc. The Vandals shot 3-16 from 3-point range and quickly found themselves down in the second quarter after staying within one possession for much of the first quarter. Arizona found holes in Idaho’s defense by feeding freshman forward Cate Reese, who scored seven of her 14 points in the second quarter.
