Brigham Young University-Idaho students celebrated a decisive victory for Brigham Young University in the Holy War against the University of Utah last weekend with a score of 91-78.

It was a historic night for freshman AJ Dybantsa, who broke the BYU record for scoring the most points as a freshman in one game. The jubilation overflowed at BYUI, where students gathered in a spirited watch party at the Crossroads to witness the game from afar.

Students running the event opened a raffle, and winners were given prizes throughout the game and booths were set up with free BYUI merch.
