Taylor Pierce — Women’s Basketball
In Saturday’s game against Portland State, Idaho freshman Taylor Pierce led the Vandals with 18 points. Pierce also collected two rebounds and provided four assists for Idaho in the Big Sky matchup.

Rita Bermudez — Women’s Tennis
Despite the Idaho women’s tennis program falling to nationally ranked Oregon, senior Rita Bermudez stood out on the court by providing the lone point for the Vandals. Bermudez’s match against Oregon’s Micheline Aubochon forced a tie-breaking third round, which Bermudez claimed in order for the women’s tennis program to avoid the sweep against No. 51 Oregon.
