The Idaho women’s basketball team could not complete the series sweep against Northern Arizona University (NAU) Wednesday, but one player’s desire to win provided the Vandals with a glimmer of hope.
Junior post Brooke Reilly had an impact on the game. Reilly scored 23 points, hauled in eight rebounds and swiped a team-high four steals.
While individual statistics are undoubtedly important in the outcome of the game, Reilly’s performance cannot be read in the box score.
The true competitor of a basketball player can only be seen visually. Someone can make assumptions based on a player’s accolades or statistics, but they are purely assuming – until it’s seen personally.
