Vandal impact players
Alyson O’Brien
Swimming
The freshman set two individual school records for the Vandal women’s swim team in the 100 and 200 freestyles. She was also on 400 freestyle and 800 freestyle relay teams, which broke Idaho school records. O’Brien’s third place finish in the 200 freestyle and fifth place finish in the 100 freestyle helped pace the Vandals to a sixth place finish at the WAC Championships in San Antonio last week.
Michael Crowell
Men’s basketball
The senior scored a career high 21 points as the Vandal men’s basketball team fell on the road to UC Irvine as part of the O’Reilly ESPNU BracketBusters basketball extravaganza on Saturday. Crowell was 5-of-10 from behind the three point arc and had four rebounds in the Vandals’ 69-55 loss to the Anteaters, a former Big West opponent.
Barbara Maciocha
Women’s tennis
The women’s tennis sophomore won her third straight singles match as the Vandals lost to Wyoming on Sunday. Maciocha, from Gdansk, Poland, played No. 4 singles for Idaho and also won her doubles match with Jana Siwa at No. 3 as Idaho lost 5-2.
Lucas Pope
Track and field
The sophomore transfer increased his personal best pole vault height to 16-4.75. Pope failed to clear three attempts at 16-9.25 at the WSU Indoor Open II — a 23-year-old UI record. Pope will look to improve his personal best at the WAC Championships this weekend.
