Idaho State Women?s Basketball Prepares for Oral Roberts After Strong Win

After a disappointing game against Loyola Marymount and a lengthy break, the Idaho State women?s basketball team rebounded with a decisive 74-43 victory over Nebraska-Omaha, improving their season record to 5-2. Despite UNO's early challenge, where they only trailed by four points after the first quarter, Idaho State's dominant rebounding?setting a school record with 28 offensive boards?ultimately secured the win. Coach Seton Sobolewski noted that the team struggled initially against UNO?s unique defense but adjusted well, leading to a significant lead by halftime. With contributions from multiple players, including Piper Carlson's double-double and strong performances from bench players, Idaho State capitalized on turnovers and fast breaks to extend their advantage. Looking ahead, the Bengals face Oral Roberts in their first meeting, and Coach Sobolewski acknowledges the challenge posed by the Golden Eagles, particularly their standout player Jalei Oglesby. The Bengals are set to embark on a six-game road trip, starting with this matchup on Saturday.
