The 22-4 final season record was an .846-win percentage. That is the best single season mark in program history breaking the old record of .833 set by the 25-5, 2000-2001 club. 

 It was the fourth NCAA appearance by the ISU woman since the start of the 2000-2001 season. They have also made five WNIT appearances in that time.

 Since the Big Sky moved the post season tournament to a neutral site starting in the 2015-2016 season, ISU is now 12-5.

 Overall ISU is now 16-11 in the Big Sky Conference post season tournament under Seton.

*3-0 in first round games

*7-5 in quarter final games

*4-4 in semifinal games

*2-2 in title games

 At 22-4 ISU had themselves another winning season. It was the ninth time in 13 years under Seton they've done this. They've also had a .500 year. So, the totals are: Nine winning seasons…three losing ones and a .500 campaign. AND they also guaranteed themselves a winning season in conference play at 18-2. It was the 10^th time in 13 years under Seton this has happened.

 The 22 wins marked the seventh time in program history they have accomplished this (20+). It has happened under Seton as head coach four times, and three times in the last four years.

 They finished the season 11-0 at home. It was only the second time in program history a club went undefeated at home for the year. The 2000-2001 team went 15-0 counting the two games in the post season tournament played in Pocatello.

 Ellie Smith is now in ninth place all-time in blocked shots with 104. Next up is Grace Kenyon with 105 blocks. She played from 2014-2019 (missed two years with ACL injuries). Ellie needs seven points for 400 in her career. 

 Estefie Ors has scored 1,362 points, she is now sixth all-time. Next up, fifth on the list, is Grace Kenyon with 1,471 points. Ors is now in ninth place all-time in made field goals with 469.Next up with 486 field goals is Lindsey Reed who played from 2010-2014. She now has 202 made three-point shots in her career the best ever for the program. She needs four rebounds for 500 in her career which would make her the 15^th player in ISU WBB history with at least 1,000 points and at least 500 rebounds.

 Estefie has played in 126 games for ISU. That is the all-time program record.

 Dora Goles is now in fifth place with 140 made three-point shots passing Chelsea Pickering with 138. She played from 2007-2012. Fourth on the list is Chris Urbanski who made 172 three-pointers in her career which spanned from 1997 through 2001.

 Diaba Konate is now at 613 points in her career.

 Montana Oltrogge needs four points for 500 in her career. She needs 10 more made three-point shots for 100 in her career and she needs five more rebounds for 200 in her career.  

Seton has now coached 402 games.

 Yours truly has now broadcast 393 ISU WBB games in this stretch. (From 95-00 we'd broadcast six or seven home games a season but I don't remember the exact number)
