Vandals Keep Rolling, Top Gonzaga

Wed., Sept. 22, 1999

Onrushing University of Idaho rolled to its eighth volleyball victory in the last nine starts Tuesday night, when the Vandals swept Gonzaga University at Moscow.

Idaho, 9-3 overall, won 15-12, 15-3, 15-3. The Vandals have beaten the Bulldogs 13 times in the last 14 meetings.

“I was very happy with our performance tonight,” Idaho coach Carl Ferreira said. “We served well, blocked and our transition offense was good.”

Anna Reznicek led Idaho by hitting .471 and pounding down 10 kills.

For the match, Idaho hit .237 as a team. Gonzaga had a minus .073 hitting average.

Freshman Britt Whiting led GU with six kills and six digs.

Basketball

Coeur d’Alene High School’s standout center, Shaylia Davis, has orally committed to play basketball at Boise State.

Davis averaged 14.1 points and 6.6 rebounds for the Vikings, who finished third at last season’s State A-1 Tournament. She also played on the Spokane Stars U-17 and U-18 teams.

The 6-foot senior said she wanted to make her committment early so she could focus on her senior season.

“I really liked the coaches and players (at BSU),” Davis said.

Davis selected Boise State over Idaho, Eastern Washington, Washington State and San Francisco.

Golf

Eastern Washington’s Kylie Smith put together rounds of 78 and 73 to tie for second place at 151 in the Lumberjack Women’s Golf Invitational at Flagstaff, Ariz.

Despite Smith’s efforts, EWU finished in a tie with Portland State for 10th place in the 17-team event. Northern Arizona, the host school, claimed the title with a total of 629 with Louise Davis claiming individual honors with a final total of 148.

The Eagles scored 658. Gonzaga trailed the field with a total of 699.

Tennis

Rain washed away the singles matches at the T. Rowe Price National Intercollegiate Clay Court Tennis Championships in Baltimore.

Washington State’s Patrycja Gajdzik and Ana Maria Moura lost their doubles match 8-5 to the Old Dominion duo of Mily Kannarkat and Ana Redeljevic before rain washed those two Cougars and teammate Sarah Burrows out of their qualifying singles matches.
