POCATELLO, Idaho - Jessica Tingey scored her second consecutive double-double and two other Bengals scored in double figures to lead Idaho State to a 61-48 win over Carroll College (Mont.) in the last home game of 2013.
 
Lindsey reed scored on a jumper on Idaho State's first possession to give the Bengals a 2-0 lead just 13 seconds into the game and the Bengals never trailed after that point.
 
ISU started off strong and took a 16-point, 27-11 lead with 4:12 left in the first half. Carroll wouldn't back down and cut the Bengal lead to 34-27 at the break.
 
The teams traded baskets to start the second half before Idaho State began to pull away in the final minutes for the 13-point victory.
 
Becca Schimpsher scored a career high 13 points, all of which came in the second half.
 
"Becca did a great job getting to the basket," Head Coach Sobolewski said. "We needed a boost in the second half and she got to the basket and her teammates found her cutting to the basket. It was what we needed to pick it up in the second half."
 
Reed scored 12 points and Tingey scored 11 along with 12 rebounds for her second double-double in as many games.
 
"Jess is developing into someone we can rely on in the low post," Sobolewski said. "She is getting on the glass and the especially on the offensive end. Rebounding is a lot about effort and attitude and she has showed that in the last two games."
 
Bailey Snelling led Carroll with 17 points including 9-of-10 from the free throw line. Jordan Johnston had 13 points and was one of three Saints with a team high five rebounds.
 
ISU outrebounded Carroll 41-35.
 
The game was the last non-conference home game and the last home game until the Bengals host North Dakota on Jan. 9.
 
The Bengals will play nine consecutive games on the road starting Friday when they play Illinois-Chicago at 6 p.m. mtn.
