The Vandals’ trip to the Big Sky Conference was cut short following a 73-62 loss to No. 4 seed Eastern Washington in the quarterfinals.
The game had a slow start before Eastern Washington scored the first points with a shot from beyond the arc. The Eagles took an early lead, going up 8-0 as Idaho missed its first seven attempts.
Sophomore guard Mikayla Ferenz got the ball rolling for the Vandals when she created a turnover and ran it down for a good 3-point shot. Ferenz put up Idaho’s opening eight points, but still trailed 15-8 at the end of the opening quarter.
