The Idaho women’s basketball team won one game and lost two on its way to placing sixth at the Rainbow Wahine Classic over the weekend in Honolulu.
Kentaro Murai / ARGONAUT - Number four Emily Faurholt looks for an opening at the women's basketball game against Boise State University Sunday at the Cowan Spectrum.
In the first round, Idaho (3-2) faced No. 3 Georgia, the highest-ranked team in the tournament. The game resulted in the Vandals’ first loss of the season with the final score at 77-55. It was the first time the two teams played each other.
Georgia (3-0) dominated the game from the beginning, leading Idaho 43-19 at the half. The sophomore class led the Vandals with guard Leilani Mitchell recording 18 points and guard Karly Felton grabbing nine rebounds.
“We were down big at the halftime and gave up a big run to begin the second half, but we really showed up to play in the last 15 minutes of the game,” Idaho coach Mike Divilbiss said. “We are disappointed we could not give Georgia a better game throughout, but we came off the court feeling like a better basketball team.”
Saturday pitted Idaho against California (1-2). The Vandals were behind at the half 39-33, but came back
