Chariah Daniels got the Wolves on the board first with a jumper.

Allison Haslam made the first 3-pointer of the night for WWU.

It was all Yotes early in the second quarter as CI went on a 10-2 run. Trevenio scored inside to end the run, but Brooke Beresford answered right back. Trevino made a 3 off an assist by Mireyah Lopez and Jaylo Bello found space inside for a layup to cut the lead to three. After a Beresford layup it was Trevino with a free throw and Bello with a 3-pointer. An and-1 by Beresford, who scored the final gave College of Idaho a 29-25 halftime lead.
