Stars: National Player of the Year candidate Natalie Doma leads the Bengals, who are currently tied with Montana for first place in the Big Sky. The senior center has dominated in Big Sky Conference play, averaging 24.2 points and nearly 12 rebounds per contest. With these figures, Doma ranks best in the conference and third best in the nation in both categories. Senior guard Andrea Lightfoot is fourth in the nation among three point shooters, hitting 46.4 percent of her attempts from beyond the arc.
Just a taste: The Bengals will be looking for revenge on their home court after Portland State handed them a 40-point blowout in the Stott Center one month ago. Since that embarrassing defeat, Idaho State has won five of six games, and is vying for first place in the Big Sky standings with Montana. Coming off consecutive home victories, the Vikings face their stiffest road contest left this season. A victory would keep the Vikings in the conference championship picture and in control of their own fate down the stretch run.
