The University of Idaho women's basketball team is preparing for the upcoming season with momentum from last year's run to the NCAA Tournament. The Vandals earned their first tournament berth since 2016 after winning the Big Sky Conference championship, marking a significant milestone for the program.
Head coach Carrie Eighmey returns a core group of players who gained valuable postseason experience. The team's tournament appearance generated increased excitement around the program and helped with recruiting efforts for the new season.
Idaho will look to replicate its conference success while facing a challenging non-conference schedule designed to prepare the team for Big Sky play. The Vandals open their season next month with aspirations of returning to the national stage.
