Top-seeded Northern Colorado built an 18-point lead early only to see fifth-seeded Idaho State rally in its trademark fashion to cut the lead to five. Northern Colorado hit eight of 10 free throws in the final minute to sew up a spot in the championship game with a 73-66 win in the semifinals.
UNC head coach Kamie Ethridge, junior Savannah Smith and junior Kianna Williams along with Idaho State Seton Sobolewski and juniors Grace Kenyon and Saylair Grandon address the media after the game.
