How it Happened
Petra Lumpert scored a layup in transition for College of Idaho, scoring the first two points of the game. About a minute later Alyssa Blankenship hit a layup of her own to put the Wolves on the scoreboard. The Yotes would rattle off a 7-0 run from there and open up a lead the Wolves would not be able to cut into. Neither team shot well today from deep, but the Yotes made up for that with transition points and points in the paint. Walla Walla was not able to run as successfully with College of Idaho as they did in their first meeting this season. Poor shooting and turnovers hurt Walla Walla's ability to keep pace. Alyssa Blankenship had a double-double, but Wolves fell 96-42 to the Yotes.
