POCATELLO, Idaho– The Idaho State women's basketball team took down the Sacramento State Hornets, 75-51, on Saturday afternoon in Sacramento, Calif.
"So many great moments," said Head Coach
Seton Sobolewski. "So many great people stepping up. One of my favorites is Carsyn hitting those back-to-back threes. Through foul trouble, I thought Callie was a rock for us in terms of helping take care of the ball, rebounding, and being another guard that can handle the ball when Sac wanted to pressure. There were so many great contributions from different people. I'm really happy."
