ROAD WARRIORS: Eastern Oregon has yet to play a home game in 2023-24, whereas the Yotes have played just two. Among CCC teams, Bushnell and Corban have just had one games. League leader Lewis-Clark State has hosted a league best five games en route to a 7-2 mark.

DOWNTOWN: In six of the eight games, College of Idaho has made six 3-pointers. The Yotes did that in 18 contests in 2022-23 on its way to averaging 6.96 3-point field goals made per game. The 6.96 made per game is the highest since 2013-14 when the Yotes made 8.7 3-pointers per contest. Mia Austin is fifth in the CCC with 17 3-pointers (2.1 per game), Savannah Huerta from Multnomah holds the league lead with 26 (3.3 per game).
 
DOUBLE DIGIT SCORING: Six Yotes have scored in double figures with Mia Austin scoring a team-best 24 points in the contest at NNU. She made 10 of 20 field goals, including four 3-pointers against the Nighthawks. Last season, nine-different Yotes recorded double digit scoring efforts. 
 
BERESFORD BOARDS: Brooke Beresford has made an immediate impact with her team-best 4.9 rebounds per game to go along with 6.1 points per contest. The 4.9 rebounds by Beresford in her freshman campaign is the most by a freshman since Elisha Hensey averaged 5.3 boards per contest in 2013-14. 

FIRST-TIME STARTERS: When the starting lineups were introduced at NNU, it marked the 51st career start for Jada Reed, whereas it was the first career start for Darbi Avery, Bryanna Graham, McKenzie Hirsch, and Kyle Waltermeyer. Reed is just one of 38 players in program history to start 53 games. 

VARIETY: In the contest against Rocky Mountain, the Yotes had 10 players break into the scoring ledger with a team-best 13-point effort from Bryanna Graham. Against Oregon Tech, Anna Mooney became the fifth-different leading scorer of the Yotes thru the first eight games as she poured in 19 points in the contest.

THANKSGIVING DISHES: College of Idaho handed out 14 assists in the home opener against The Master's. The Yotes closed out the 2022-23 season with four-straight games of at least 10 assists. In 22 of 29 games, last year, the Yotes had 10 or more assists.

HAIL TO THE CHIEF: Senior forward Emma Anderson, in addition to her basketball responsibilities serves as the ASCI (Associated Students of The College of Idaho) President. Her Vice President is Yotes football quarterback Andy Peters.

NEW HEAD COACH: Kyle Erickson, a 2012 graduate of Montana Western took the reigns of the College of Idaho women's basketball coach on April 3, 2023. He is the sixth head coach in the 29-year history of the program. For 13 of the 29 years at the helm is current C of I Vice President for Athletics, Reagan Rossi, who led College of Idaho to a 246-153 mark in 13 years as the head coach.

FLIRTING WITH PERFECTION: College of Idaho made 17 of 18 (94.4%) of its free-throw attempts to start the season against Montana Western. The 94.4% clip ties the third-best effort in program history with a similar effort last season against Eastern Oregon. Ironically, seven of the top nine performances have been away from the friendly rims of the J.A. Albertson Activity Center. 

LAST TIME OUT: College of Idaho made 10 3-pointers against Oregon Tech, the last time the Yotes hit 10 triples in a game was February 4, 2023 at Multnomah.
