Idaho women win

The University of Idaho women’s basketball team overcame a sluggish start Sunday to put together one of its best shooting performances of the season in a 66-50 win over visiting Hawaii, Idaho’s first win in the series.

Idaho shot a season-best 17 of 18 from the free-throw line and a season-best 11 of 23 from 3-point range.

Junior point guard Charlotte Otero tied her career high and hit a season high of 14 points. Sophomores Rachele Kloke and Alana Curtis added 13 and 12 points, respectively, and freshman Shaena Kuehu scored 11 for the Vandals (8-10, 5-2 WAC).
