POCATELLO — Natalie Klinker had 15 points and 13 rebounds for Idaho, which closed out the regular season with a 61-50 win over Idaho State on Friday night.

Idaho (20-9, 15-5 Big Sky), which clinched the second seed to the Big Sky Tournament with a win at Weber State on Wednesday, won its fifth straight game to close out the regular season.

“It was an extremely physical game, as it always is with Idaho State,” Idaho coach Jon Newlee said. “I thought we did a good job of matching that tonight. They came out strong and the crowd did a great job of supporting them. I told our team we just had to come out and ovecome the initial nerves and we did a good job as the game went on.”

Idaho opens the conference tournament against the winner of Monday’s Eastern Washington/Portland State game on Tuesday at 4:30 p.m.
