MOSCOW, Idaho – Idaho Vandal Women's Hoops (3-1) begins their second half of four straight home games hosting UC Riverside Highlanders (0-3) in the ICCU Arena.   

Tipoff is set for Friday at 7:30 p.m., with coverage available from Trevor Williams and Stephen Madison on the call for ESPN+. 

The Vandals are looking to extend their undefeated streak at home this weekend as they welcome UC Riverside, following a competitive win against the previously undefeated Southern Utah Thunderbirds. Idaho's success has been filled with career-high games Kyra Gardner, who racked up 26 points against Washington State,  Ana Pinheiro, who has set a career high in points in back-to-back games with 16 and 17 points, respectively, and Hope Hassmann, whose career high 21 points against SUU earned her Big Sky Player of the Week.  

Friday's game is only the 12th meeting between Idaho and UC Riverside, with Idaho holding the winning record in the series 7-4. The Highlanders enter the game 0-3 hungry for their first win, while the Vandals aim to keep the momentum rolling on their home court.  

With Idaho finding its offensive identity and scoring 83 points a game - second in conference - this game provides a great early-season opportunity for the Vandals to continue their defensive improvement before conference play tips off.
