Fullerton (0-2) was led by Iman Lathan's 27 points on 13-of-23 shooting as the junior guard added seven rebounds and four assists after triumphantly returning to the floor from an early first quarter injury.

Sophomore guard Jade Vega hit four three-pointers en route to a 16-point effort, while junior guard Jordan Jackson poured in 14 points, draining four three-pointers and leading the Titans with six assists.

"I felt like our team was more comfortable tonight," head coach Daron Park said in reference to Friday's season-opening loss.

Idaho (2-0), the defending Big Sky Conference champion, was led by Geraldine Mccorkell's 30-point performance on a 13-of-25 shooting effort. Karlee Wilson delivered a game-high 10 assists, while Taylor Pierce added 18 points on five three-pointers and five dishes. Agueda Trujilla scored 17 points off the bench for the Vandals.

With 1:43 to play, Dhanyel Johnson's offensive rebound and put back gave the Titans an 82-81 lead – Fullerton's first advantage since the second quarter - but Mccorkell hit a dagger less than 10 seconds later with a long-range bucket.

Earlier, the Titans had trailed 79-72, until three-pointers from Vega and Keimeshia Walker helped Fullerton close 81-80.
