Woolf, UI Gun Down Fullerton

Area women basketball

Susan Woolf tossed in a game-high 21 points and Rikki Jackson and Alli Nieman added 17 and 16, respectively, to spark the Idaho Vandals to a 95-72 Big West Conference women’s basketball victory over Cal State Fullerton Friday in Fullerton, Calif.

Woolf connected on 7 of 9 shots from the floor, including 2 of 4 from 3-point range, and 5 of 6 free throws to help the Vandals improve their record to 9-6 overall and 2-1 in conference play.

Idaho made eight 3-pointers in the game. The Vandals used 6-of12 shooting from long range in the first half to build a 46-30 lead.

Idaho, behind a team-high eight rebounds from Nieman, outrebounded the Titans 45-36.

Jackson and Tasha Rico paced the Vandals with six assists each.

“We wanted to put together a full 40 minutes and we did,” said Idaho coach Hilary Recknor. “We were shooting well and felt comfortable out there.”

Erin Whiteside’s 20 points topped Fullerton (2-13, 0-3).

Idaho, which shot 49 percent from the floor, held the Titans to just 38-percent shooting, including 16 percent from 3-point range.
