AUSTIN ASSASSIN: Freshman Mia Austin has scored in double figures in three of the last four games, making 12 of her last 25 3-point attempts for the Yotes. She knocked down five 3-pointers against Oregon Tech, the most since Allie Cannon hit five against the Warriors in the season finale, last year.

A 3-POINT SHOOTING BARRAGE: College of Idaho made back-to-back 3-pointers to start the game against Oregon Tech on its way to making 14 for the game. The 14 3-pointers are the most since the Yotes made 18 against Warner Pacific on February 1, 2014.
 
SPARKS FROM THE BENCH: Yotes reserves have scored 165 points with Taryn Riley leading the team with 44 points. The reserves have also pulled down 113 rebounds with Bryanna Graham leading the team with 17 rebounds each.

STRONG START TO SOPHOMORE CAMPAIGN: Sophomore Taryn Riley has picked up where she left off after a promising start to her career at College of Idaho as a freshman.
