The Vandal Nation staff takes a look back on the best moments from Fall 2018 across all University of Idaho athletics.

Meredith Spelbring — Watching women excel 

Volleyball nearly grabbed the conference title. Soccer had a record-breaking season. Idaho, not widely known for pulling in high volumes of championships, had two championship-caliber teams. No disrespect to the men’s sports on campus, but nothing is more exciting than watching women pave their own path to victories and record-breaking seasons. 

 

 

 

 

Brandon Hill — Fall football in Idaho
While the season did not exactly pan out for Idaho football, this season proved to be an interesting beginning to a new chapter. Watching the rafters of Holt Arena tremble while thousands of ISU fans screamed in the face of a renewed rivalry was truly special.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chris Deremer — A glimpse into the future? 

Idaho football making an epic comeback to take down then ranked North Dakota certainly has to be a huge highlight. That game showed the potential Idaho has and maybe what the future may hold for what could be an up-and-coming program.

 

 

 

 

 

Hailey Stewart — Exploring the rink

A little-known spectacle at UI, Idaho’s club ice hockey games always provide for an evening of fun. 

More students should make a quick trip to the Palouse Ice Rink. Between the crowd, the cheap admission and the Vandal Spirit, there’s a lot to love about hockey. 

 

 

 

 

 

Zack Kellogg — A season for Idaho soccer

For Idaho soccer, this was a remarkable season. With a new coach, a core of senior leadership and pure determination, Vandal soccer was undefeated in the Kibbie Dome and did not allow a goal this season at home, while finishing second in the conference with a 6-1-2 record. 

 

 

 

 

 

Jonah Baker — (Almost) Victorious Vandal volleyball

Idaho volleyball had a month to remember, forgetting how to lose for a 12-game stretch through October and into November. The team may have come up short in the end, but that streak will ensure the team will be remembered for a long time to come.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Connor Swersey — A season to shine for men’s golf

Idaho men’s golf, with an extremely hard schedule up against some of the best teams in the nation, doesn’t place well that often. But this year’s Jackrabbit Invitational was an opportunity for Idaho to get their best placement in three years at 3rd overall.
