CEDAR CITY, Utah - The Southern Utah women's basketball team will return to the court this weekend as they travel to Moscow, Idaho to take on the Idaho Vandals on Friday January 8 and Saturday January 9.
The games were originally scheduled to take place on Thursday and Saturday, but were changed to Friday and Saturday just this week. Both games will tip off at 7:00 p.m. (6:00 p.m. Pacific time).
Last Time Out
It has been just over two weeks since the T-Birds last played a game, but their last matchup ended in a 80-44 blowout win over Dixie State.
Darri Frandsen and Madelyn Eaton led the Thunderbirds in scoring with 15 points each. The duo also shot a combined 4-for-5 from the three-point line.
As a team, the Thunderbirds held the Trailblazers to just 26.4 percent shooting from the floor and outrebounded them 51-32. Eleven different Thunderbirds scored points in the game as every T-Bird saw at least three minutes of playing time.
Southern Utah was supposed to host Montana State last week, but multiple positive COVID tests within the program forced them to cancel the series.
