Kayla Watanabe got the scoring started early, after a great through ball from
Bridget Daley.
Taylor Brust doubled the advantage in the 60

Makayla Presgrave picked up her seventh shutout of the season, the second most in a single season in team history. Amanda Poertner recorded nine during Idaho's championship season in 2015.

BEST IN THE NATION: Idaho finished its home schedule at 6-0-1, marking the third time in program history that the Vandals did not suffer a loss at home. Idaho won the Big Sky regular season championship in each previous occurrence, in 2015 and 2016.
