Ali Forde – women’s basketball
Idaho senior post Ali Forde posted her 13th career double-double with 10 points and 14 rebounds in the Vandals’ 64-42 win against UC Santa Barbara Sunday at the Memorial Gym. Forde also contributed four blocks.
“We are a great offensive team,” Forde said. “I feel like we are always going to be a great offensive team. This week (we) really had been practicing on our defense. It was one thing we really needed to focus on. Last season other teams were able to score on us. We are really working on shutting that down this year.”
