USU women fall 84-82 in WAC tournament semifinals; Williams looks ahead

LAS VEGAS — Don’t blink, because you would have missed the highlights on both sides.

Idaho put on an offensive torrent late in its WAC Tournament women’s semifinal against Utah State on Friday, going on a 19-4 run in just 5:37 to defeat the Aggies 84-82. Wunderkind-esque, late-game heroism from WNBA hopeful Devyn Christensen didn’t prove to be enough, either, as USU will once again fall short of the NCAA Tournament despite a furious late-season stretch in which they won 12 of 15 games.

Addie Schivo’s two free throws with 3.5 seconds left lifted the Vandals (16-15) in a game in which the Aggies (18-13) led for nearly three quarters.
