Idaho ventured into a hostile environment in Montana on Saturday, but the noise was not enough to stop the Vandals.
Idaho defeated Montana 67-56 for their ninth straight win. The win was Idaho’s 11th conference win of the season, matching their total from last season with four games left to play.
The Vandals (15-10, BSC 11-3) relied heavily on the usual contributors. Junior guards Mikayla Ferenz and Taylor Pierce combined with senior post Geraldine McCorkell for all but four of Idaho’s points on the night.
Montana (12-14, BSC 8-7) was without top scorer and conference assists leader McKenzie Johnston for most of the first half due to foul trouble.
