It was a rough return home for the Idaho women after a long road trip to start the season.
The Vandals lost to Washington 81-69 in their first home game since Nov. 5th. Idaho was able to hang tough throughout the first half, but the team couldn’t keep up with the Huskies’ depth down the stretch.
Junior guards Mikayla Ferenz and Taylor Pierce contributed plenty to carry Idaho in the losing effort. Ferenz poured in 26 points courtesy in large part from 5-9 shooting from three.
Pierce was also effective from deep, adding four 3-pointers and 16 total points.
