"We have been working on consistency and I hope that we are able to come out and build on the aggression and intensity that we had in the Boise State game and carry that over to win another game," head coach Cathy Nixon said. "We haven't really done that all year, carry consistency over from game to game, and win at home back to back and then go to Idaho State and do it on the road as well."
