The Vandals received a tough draw in their return to women’s NIT.
Idaho (19-13, BSC 13-5) will face off against UC Davis (25-6, BWC 14-2) in the first round of the NIT. It is the Vandals’ first trip to the WNIT since 1986.
“It’s great getting another chance to play in the postseason,” Idaho Head Coach Jon Newlee said in a news release. “It should be a great experience for all of us and hopefully a better ending for our seniors.”
Vandal fans may be unfamiliar with UC Davis and with good reason. The game will be the first meeting between the schools.
