OGDEN – It all came down to the fourth quarter Thursday night in the Dee Events Center as Weber State women's basketball and Idaho State battled for a victory. ISU put up big numbers in the final 10 minutes to take a 65-54 victory over WSU.
What Head Coach Velaida Harris said: "I'm proud of the fact that we're working hard, but we aren't working smart. Getting smarter is our next step. We just have to keep working. Start matching the physicality and keep progressing."
How it happened: Idaho State took a nine point lead early in the first quarter. WSU finished the quarter on a 9-4 run but ISU still had a 19-13 lead at the end of the quarter.
WSU cut the score deficit to just five points in the second quarter and held the Bengals to just seven points. By the time the two teams left the court for half time, WSU tailed 26-21.
Halfway through the third quarter, UIa Chamberlin sunk a three pointer to put the Wildcats trailing by just two points. The Wildcats trailed by five points with under a minute in the third quarter. Ciara James was put on the free throw line where she sunk both shots. An Idaho State turnover with five seconds left gave WSU the ball and Chamberlin sunk one from behind the arc as the quarter buzzer sounded. ISU and WSU were tied 44-44 going into the final 10 minutes.
Idaho State charged in the fourth quarter and outscored WSU 21-10 to take the 65-54 victory.
