January 7, 2012 – Only once before had ISU ever beaten Montana at Dahlberg Arena but on this day that would change. The Bengals played a solid game and won 58-51 sweeping the always tough Montana road trip for only the second time in history. There were two notable events in the game. The first came when Chelsea Pickering scored her 1,000th career point. She’d finish her career at ISU with 12 hundred of them. The second came with just over a minute remaining. With the shot clock running out Kaela Oakes hit a tough contested jumper in the lane to give the Bengals a three point lead. They closed it out by hitting four free throws. Pickering had 12 points and Oakes added 18 in the huge win.
