Idaho State is a tough team and nothing will come easy in such a high-stakes rivalry game. However, the Vandals will have homecourt advantage and the drive to winout for the seniors, namely “Splash Sisters” senior guards Mikayla Ferenz and Taylor Pierce. ISU won’t make it easy, but Idaho will come out firing on all cylinders and end on a win.

The Vandals are on a tear while the season draws to a close, but the Bengals prove formidable enough to make Idaho sweat on Senior Night. But a Splash Sisters finale in Moscow? C’mon, there’s no way this team is letting this special moment slip between its fingers.

We have the Big Sky’s best scoring offense going against the best scoring defense on Saturday, but something tells me the Splash Sisters aren’t going to let the Bengals come away in their final home game as Vandals. Expect an Idaho win to gain the regular season Big Sky championship.

Expect the Splash Sisters to take control in their final home game as Vandals, and the recent ascendance of the squad’s underclassmen like Gina Marxen ensures that the team can take advantage of a double team on Mikayla Ferenz. Idaho and Idaho State have the Big Sky’s best offense and defense respectively, but expect unstoppable force to top immovable object this time.

Last home game of the season for the Vandals and the Splash Sisters against their in-state rivals, Idaho State. Idaho will come out energized and hot, going on big runs to secure first place in the Big Sky before heading down to Boise for the Conference Tournament.

The lady Vandals are going to hit the ground running on senior night. Idaho State is talented enough to keep it close, but with the Splash Sisters playing in their last home game, they are sure to come out with a ferocity that can’t be matched. There is too much on the line for this season, and if there’s one thing we’ve seen this year, it’s how cool Idaho has been able to stay under pressure.
