MOSCOW, Idaho (Interstat) — Two early-season Big Sky contenders will meet Saturday when the Southern Utah Thunderbirds visit the Idaho Vandals in a women’s NCAA Division I basketball game.

Southern Utah (2-0) enters the contest riding high after a 77-64 victory over Washington State on Nov. 8. Brooklyn Fely led the Thunderbirds with a dominant 20-point, 13-rebound double-double, while Ava Uhrich added 11 points and nine rebounds.

Idaho (2-1) is coming off a 94-39 rout of Walla Walla on Nov. 9, where Sofia Ekh scored a team-high 16 points. The Vandals also own a notable 87-85 road win over Washington State from Nov. 3, but fell 89-76 at UC Davis in their most recent road test.

The matchup at Idaho Central Credit Union Arena will be an early test of conference strength. Southern Utah’s potent offense, which has averaged 90 points per game, will be challenged by a Vandal squad looking to defend its home court.

Tipoff is set for Saturday, Nov. 15, 2025, in Caldwell, Idaho.
