MOSCOW, Idaho ? The University of Idaho treated its record crowd to a historic victory in a 3-0 sweep of Boise State Saturday.

The Vandals (14-7, 7-3) used scores of 25-22, 25-16, and 25-7 to earn its seventh win in its last eight games. The seven points allowed in set three were the lowest amount for an Idaho opponent since rally scoring began in 2001. Boise State fell to 6-15, 3-8 with the loss.

The 1,842 fans in attendance helped to break the previous attendance record of 1,814 set Sept. 17, 1996 vs. Washington State.

“The crowd tonight was amazing and that had a positive impact on the match,” Idaho coach Debbie Buchanan said. “I am proud of our players for starting the ?Dig for the Cure' project and it really turned into a big thing. It was great to see so many people support the cause, but it also was great to have those people support our team. Combining this win with football's win makes for a great weekend.”

Idaho's defense came up big to hold Boise State to a -.134 hitting percentage for the match. The Vandals hit .181 for the match, including .350 in set three with just two errors. Idaho's defense held an 11.0-5.0 advantage in blocks and led 56-38 in digs.

“We started off a little slow but I liked the way we finished,” Buchanan said. “We were able to control the momentum they attempted to gain early by serving tough and taking them out of their system. We stayed on them, which was great, and our defense was outstanding. The other thing I liked was seeing all of the players contribute.”

Sarah Conwell had a career high .417 hitting percentage and tallied 12 kills while Haley Larsen added 12 kills and 10 digs. Kelsey Yonker finished with 15 digs and Kelsey James totaled 21 assists.

Idaho used 12 players in the match and each contributed at least one positive statistic.

Idaho plays its final road series of the season next week with matches at Utah State Thursday (Oct. 30) and San Jose State Saturday (Nov. 1).
