Bengal Bites

With the capturing of the 2020-2021 Big Sky regular season championship, it is the second time that Seton has done it as head coach. The first time was the 2011-2012 club that ended the year at 24-8.

At 19-3 ISU has guaranteed themselves a winning season. It is the ninth time in 13 years under Sobolewski they've done this. 

The 19-3 start to the season is the best in program history. Program is 46 years old.

The Bengals finished the season 11-0 at home. It is 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. 

In the last 17 games Delaney Moore and Ellie Smith have combined for 289 points and 160 rebounds out of the post. That's an average of 17 points and 9.4 rebounds a game.

Estefania Ors needs four more games to pass Kara Jenkins and become the leader in most games played. Jenkins played in 124 games for ISU. Estefie stands at 121 played. 

Smith is now in ninth place all-time in blocked shots with 96. Next up is Grace Kenyon with 105 blocks.

Dora Goles is now tied with Michele Grohs 2005-2009 for sixth place with 132 made three point shots. Next up is Chelsea Pickering with 138.
