Preview: Snow Badgers at Southern Idaho Eagles

TWIN FALLS, Idaho (Interstat) — The Southern Idaho women’s junior college basketball team, one of the nation’s elite, will look to complete a season sweep when it hosts the Snow Badgers on Saturday, Feb. 28, 2026.

The Eagles (25-3) have dominated the series this season, winning both prior meetings by an average of 24 points. They routed Snow 88-63 on Jan. 31 in Ephraim, Utah, and handled the Badgers 72-49 at home on Jan. 15. Southern Idaho enters on a six-game winning streak, though its last outing was a narrow 66-63 overtime victory against Utah State Eastern on Thursday.

Southern Idaho is powered by forward Savannah Stoker, who posted a double-double with 19 points and 13 rebounds in that overtime win. Her interior presence will be a primary concern for Snow.

The Snow Badgers (17-11), however, arrive with momentum from a decisive 71-52 road win at North Idaho on Thursday. Sydnee Smith, a player to watch for the Badgers, nearly notched a double-double in that contest with 11 points and nine rebounds. Supporting contributors like Avery Allred (13 points) and Megan Johnson (9 points) provided crucial balance.

Snow has won three of its last four games, with the only loss in that stretch coming to Utah State Eastern. Reversing their fortunes against Southern Idaho represents their toughest remaining challenge. Containing Stoker and the Eagles’ frontcourt, while finding consistent scoring beyond Smith, will be essential for the Badgers to spring an upset on the road.

Saturday’s matchup tips off a critical final stretch of the regular season for both teams as they prepare for the postseason. Southern Idaho aims to solidify its top seeding, while Snow seeks a statement victory to bolster its resume.
