POCATELLO, Idaho — Idaho State Athletics announced the six individuals voted into the ISU Athletics Hall of Fame in its 2025 class, earlier this spring. Now, over the next six weeks, we will introduce the honorees and their accolades that made them deserving of enshrinement in the Idaho State record book.
First, we would like to introduce and congratulate Lindsey Ahumada Reed, Idaho State Women's Basketball, Hall of Fame 2025 class.
Reed's accomplishments are many in her time as a Bengal. She was a Big Sky champion and played in both the NCAA and WNIT Tournaments.
She earned 1st team all-Big Sky Conference 2013-2014 season, was the team MVP in the 2013-2014 season and twice was named to the Big Sky Conference postseason all-tournament team. Big Sky Conference Player of the Week,
In October of 2024 was named one of the "50 Greatest Players in the First 50 Years" of ISU women's basketball.
Ahumada Reed is a staple in the Idaho State women's basketball record book. Reed ranked 5th all-time in scoring with 1492 career points. She is 9th all-time in rebounds with 691 boards and just one of 15 ISU players all-time to have over 1000 points and 500 rebounds.
She is 9th in field goals made with 486, 4th in free throws made with 345 and 4th in 3pt field goals made with 175.
We encourage all to celebrate Lindsey and the other inductees at the official induction Sports Hall of Fame ceremony on Saturday, November 8.
Womens' Basketball Head Coach Seton Sobolewski had this to say in his nomination of Reed for the Hall of Fame.
We have had many talented women's basketball players during my 17-year coaching career at Idaho State who are all deserving of the ISU Sports Hall of Fame, but Lindsey ranks as one of the top 2 or 3 players to come through Pocatello during my time.
Lindsey came to us from the small desert town Kingman, Arizona. Although she was primarily raised in Arizona she was not a stranger to Eastern Idaho. Her parents are originally from the
Idaho Falls area and many of her extended family still live in Eastern Idaho. Lindsey's recruitment to Idaho State wasn't a traditional one. A friend in the Phoenix area coached
against her and mentioned how talented she was. I started doing my research and after a phone call with her high school coach, Danny Gonzales, I learned that Lindsay had just recently had a
41 point game in where she hit 9 threes. After that conversation, she had our attention. Her impact was felt immediately her freshman year where in her very first division one game against Loyola Marymount, Lindsey scored 21 points, had 8 rebounds and 2 assists. She started 29 of 30 games and played over 33 minutes a game. She played so much because of how she could get it done on both ends of the floor. Not only was she a talented scorer, but a high energy defender. Lindsey's freshman year was capped off with a big win over the #2 team in the Big Sky that year Northern Colorado. She scored 29 points in an 8 for 9 shooting performance.
Her sophomore year things just kept getting better. Lindsey started all 32 games, led us in minutes played and helped us win the 2012 Big Sky championship and an NCAA tournament appearance against University of Miami. Lindsey was named to the Big Sky All Tournament team that year.
During Lindsey's junior year she helped lead our team to a WNIT appearance against BYU. Again she was one of our leaders in minutes, points, rebounds and assists. Finally, Lindsey's senior year was one her best individually. The team graduated all conference players Kaela Oakes and Ashleigh Vella the year before and Lindsey was a senior on an inexperienced team. Out of a need for an experienced ball handler, I changed Lindsey's position to starting point guard. She handled this change the way great teammate do, with grace and determination. This season Lindsey had her best scoring game of her career. In a 74-65 victory over Montana State, Lindsey scored 34 points on 7-16 shooting and making 17 of 18 free throws. She finished the year averaging in-conference 17 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists a game. At the end of the season, Lindsey was named first team all conference and Big Sky All tournament team.
Lindsey's athletic talents are obvious, but what is not as well known is how beloved Lindsey is in our community. During her time in Pocatello, she made lifelong friendships. What is also not well known is that she has become one of the most entrepreneurial and savvy business women in Arizona. She founded a very successful business and beauty academy in Tempe, Arizona. All while being a great mother to a beautiful little girl and little boy.
Lindsey is a proud Bengal and she's an exceptional representative of Idaho State. She's the example of what we want our student athletes to become once they graduate. I cannot say enough good things about her. It is without any reservation I recommend Lindsey Reed for the Idaho State Sports Hall of Fame.
