EDINBURG – The University of Texas-Pan American Broncs women's basketball team fell to the University of Idaho Vandals 85-52 on Saturday at the UTPA Fieldhouse.
 
Freshman Shawnte' Goff led the Broncs (11-12, 5-5 WAC) with 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting, including 1-of-3 from behind the arc, plus 2-of-2 from the line, with three rebounds (two offensive), four assists, a career-high two blocks and one steal.
 
Stacey Barr led four Vandals (17-7, 10-0 WAC) in double-figures scoring with 22 points on 8-of-17 shooting, including 5-of-11 from behind the arc, with 13 rebounds and three assists.

Addie Schivo scored 10 points while going 6-for-6 from the line.
 
The game was tight early. After the Vandals scored the first four points, junior Tonisha Walker hit a three and Goff made a layup to give the Broncs the lead. Ford and Schivo followed with layups, but then a Walker jumper preceded a three and a layup by Goff as the Broncs went up 12-8 with 13:41 remaining.
 
The Vandals followed with an 8-0 run built on six free throws to take the lead back, but junior T'Ondira Nolen hit a pair of free throws and junior Brittany Bush made a layup to tie the game at 16-16 with 9:34 left.
 
The Vandals, however, responded with a 23-5 run over a span of more than eight minutes to go up 39-21.
 
The Broncs scored the final four points of the first half and first two of the second half to pull within 12, but that's as close as they got.
 
The Broncs kick-off a three game road trip on Thursday at 7 p.m. when they visit Chicago State.
