Vikings Ready for Madness, Close Regular Season Monday Night at Weber State

TIPOFF
February is supposed to be a month of love. But the Portland State women's basketball team closed it with a pair of heartbreakers, losing one-possession games to Montana State and Montana this past Thursday and Saturday.

Both games came with their fair share of positives. But any basketball player will tell you that when you're tied in the final minute, as the Vikings were in both games, you can throw out moral victories. You want an actual victory.

The turn to March may be a welcomed one, then, for the Vikings. March has its own theme in the basketball world, madness, and the Vikings will open the wildest month of the basketball calendar at Weber State Monday at 5 p.m. PT / 6 p.m. MT.

In a true bit of madness, Monday's regular-season finale will be the first of back-to-back games against Weber State. Both teams are locked into facing each other again in the first round of the Big Sky tournament on March 7.

How that characterizes Monday's meeting will be interesting to see. Head coach Karlie Burris said her team will be looking to gain momentum ahead of the conference tournament with a win Monday. They generated some of that already despite the close losses to Montana State and Montana.

The loss to Montana State, in particular, was a sign of improvement for the Vikings. While the three-point loss to the Bobcats stung, it marked a 45-point swing in the Vikings' favor from their first game against Montana State this season. The Bobcats won that one 91-43 on Jan. 31.

The Vikings outshot the Bobcats .411-to-.375, with the Bobcats' .375 mark representing the lowest mark for a Viking opponent since they held Sacramento State to .370 shooting on Jan. 10. The Vikings also outshot the Lady Griz .438-to-.390 Saturday, the third straight game in which the Vikings have outshot their opponent.

Additionally, the Vikings bettered both Montana State and Montana from three-point range. They outshot the Bobcats 6-to-4 from deep Thursday, while they topped Montana 7-to-5 Saturday. The three-point win over the Lady Griz was no small feat. The teams came into the game on opposite ends of the Big Sky rankings for three-point shooting. The Lady Griz led the conference with 9.3 three-pointers per game, while the Vikings ranked last with just over four three-pointers a game.

But the Vikings have shown improvements from three-point range recently. They tied their conference season high with eight makes against Eastern Washington on Feb. 21, and ever since then have been shooting well from three. They come into Monday's regular-season finale averaging 7.0 three-pointers per game on 35.6 percent (21-for-59) shooting over their last three games.

Even with those improvements, a continuing issue for the Vikings has been giving up too many possessions to their opponents. Montana State and Montana both made up their deficits in field goal percentage by earning more possessions than the Vikings. Montana State earned eight more field goal attempts than the Vikings, while Montana had 11. In fact, out of the nine Big Sky games in which the Vikings have outshot their opponent, they've only finished with more field goals once.

That one time? A 68-58 win over Weber State to open the conference season on Jan. 1. The Vikings trailed by seven with 6:22 remaining in that game but held the Wildcats scoreless the rest of the way while finishing on a 17-0 run. Kyleigh Brown and Hannah Chicken led the Vikings with 18 and 17 points, respectively. Ajae Yoakum also went into double figures with 12 points, eight rebounds and four assists, while Cici Ellington added seven points and a career-high 16 rebounds.

That game may end up being a poor prologue to Monday's meeting, however. Both teams have changed since then, as is natural over the course of a conference season.

For the Wildcats, they returned one of their missing pieces from that earlier game in leading scorer and rebounder Antoniette Emma-Nnopu. Emma-Nnopu leads the Wildcats with 14.0 points and 9.9 rebounds per game. She ranks second in the Big Sky in both rebounds and blocks (1.25) per game, while also ranking 10th in the conference with 1.93 steals per game.

Lanae Billy (11.6) and Hannah Robbins (10.6) also average in double figures for the Wildcats.

Billy leads the Wildcats' three-point efforts, a strength for the Wildcats this season. They rank second in the Big Sky in three-point percentage (.322) and third in three-pointers per game (7.2) as a team. Billy ranks third individually in both makes per game (2.13) and percentage (.346).

Billy and the Wildcats figure to test the Vikings' recent improvements from beyond the arc. The improvements nearly got the Vikings there against the Montana schools. Instead, they had to settle for heartbreak at the end of February.

But what follows heartbreak better than a bit of madness?

Players
#12 Kyleigh Brown

Sophomore guard Kyleigh Brown had her 34-game double-digit scoring streak snapped Saturday when Montana held her to a season-low four points. It had been the longest such streak by any player over the last 20 seasons at Portland State.
Brown's double-digit scoring streak was over a year old as it started with 17 points against Idaho State on Feb. 20, 2025.
Brown still leads the Vikings with 16.9 points per game, ranking her third in the Big Sky and 77th nationally.
Brown has struggled from the field over the last three games as she's shooting 9-for-38 (.237) during that stretch. That's been an anomaly, though, as she still ranks 10th in the Big Sky with a .413 field goal percentage this season. She's shot 50 percent of better from the field six times in Big Sky play.
Brown has been more effective in the second half of games within Big Sky play. In conference games, she's averaging 5.29 points on 32.0 percent shooting in the first half, while she's averaging 10.6 points on 47.4 percent shooting in the second half.
Brown made three three-pointers against Montana State Thursday. That was the first time Brown had hit three or more three-pointers since the Vikings' third game of the season at Colorado on Nov. 16. She started the year 22-for-50 (.440) from three-point range through the team's first 14 games but is 12-for-59 (.203) over the last 15.
Brown has had streaks of 26, 21 and 19 straight free throws earlier this season. The school record is 35 straight free throws made by Kiana Brown between Nov. 28, 2017, and Jan. 20, 2018.
Brown was held without a free throw attempt Saturday for only the fourth time all season and the first time within Big Sky play.
Brown leads the Big Sky and ranks 23rd nationally with an .880 free throw percentage. That would rank eighth on the single-season list at Portland State if the season ended today.
Brown played all 45 minutes in the Vikings' overtime game against Northern Arizona on Feb. 12. She ranks eighth in the Big Sky with 33.3 minutes played per game this season.
Brown was the OSAA 5A State Player of the Year as a senior at Silverton High School when she led her team to the 5A state title in 2024.

#8 Cici Ellington

Cici Ellington has scored in double figures in seven of the past eight games, while she's led or tied for the team lead in scoring in five of the last six. That stretch includes a season-high 23 points on 11-for-15 shooting against Eastern Washington on Feb. 21.
Ellington has been efficient from the field recently. She's shot 70 percent or better in three of the last four games, averaging 17.5 points per game on 66.0 percent (33-for-50) shooting during that stretch. She ranks second on the team with a .467 field goal percentage across the whole season.
Ellington ranks third on the team with 10.6 points per game this season. That's her best scoring average since her true freshman season at Loyola Marymount when she averaged 11.5 points per game during the 2019-20 season.
Cici Ellington reached the 1,000-point career milestone in the fourth quarter of the Vikings' game against Eastern Washington on Jan. 22. She hit 500 career rebounds with six boards against Montana on Jan. 29.
Ellington recorded her third double-double of the season Saturday with 17 points on 8-for-11 shooting to go with 10 rebounds and three assists against Montana. Her other double-doubles came against Seattle U on Dec. 17 (18 points, 14 rebounds) and Idaho State on Jan. 3 (14 points, 11 rebounds).
Ellington set a career high with 16 rebounds against Weber State on Jan. 1, recording the most rebounds by a Viking since Pia Jurhar had 16 against Multnomah on Nov. 25, 2017. She had 10+ rebounds in three of four games between Dec. 17 to Jan. 3. She returned to double figures with 10 rebounds Saturday.
Ellington ranks eighth in the Big Sky with 0.93 blocks per game.
Ellington played her first two years at Loyola Marymount (2019-21) before transferring to Grambling State (2021-24). She played 19 games at Grambling during the 2021-22 season but then missed all but one game over the next two years due to injury. She returned from the injury absence while playing for the Vikings last season, when she averaged 6.7 points per game. She was granted a rare seventh year for COVID and medical hardship.
Ellington was a West Coast Conference All-Freshman Team selection at Loyola Marymount following the 2019-20 season.
Ellington was named the OSAA 6A State Co-Player of the Year in 2019, sharing the award with future NCAA national champion and Los Angeles Sparks player Cameron Brink. Ellington and her Benson Polytechnic High School team – that included fellow Viking Ajae Yoakum – beat Brink and two-time defending champion Southridge in the 2019 state championship game.

#9 Hannah Chicken

Freshman Hannah Chicken scored in double figures for the 19th time this season with 10 points Thursday against Montana State. She fouled out after playing only 19:55. It was the third time out of the last six games that Chicken had fouled out.
Chicken ranks second on the team with 11.3 points per game this season. That would be the best average by a PSU freshman since Esmeralda Morales averaged 12.5 points per game during the 2021-22 season.
Chicken posted the first 20-point game of her career in the Vikings' win over Sacramento State on Feb. 7. She had a career-high 22 points on 8-for-11 shooting while adding seven rebounds, four assists and two blocks against the Hornets.
Chicken leads the Vikings in overall field goal percentage (.486) and three-point field goal percentage (.405), while she's second on the team in free throw percentage (.819).
Chicken ranks 13th in the Big Sky with 5.93 rebounds per game. She also ranks 12th in the conference with 1.86 offensive rebounds per game.
Chicken ranks 14th in the Big Sky with 0.72 blocks per game.
Head coach Karlie Burris said of Chicken after a game during the first month of the season: "She's at the beginning of how good she's going to be."
Chicken and fellow freshman Sophie Buzzard are roommates, making for a very bird-friendly dorm room at Portland State University.
Chicken is one of three Australians on the Vikings' roster, joining Kailee Field from Brisbane and Taylor Moffat from Mount Barker, Australia. Chicken is from Taree, Australia.

#11 Laynee Torres-Kahapea

Laynee Torres-Kahapea nearly won the game for the Vikings Saturday against Montana. She followed a circus shot at the end of the shot clock with a forced turnover that led to the game-tying bucket with just over a minute remaining. Torres-Kahapea finished with one of her most complete lines in any game this season, recording nine points, six rebounds and five assists while committing only one turnover.
Torres-Kahapea recorded the second-highest scoring output of her career with 18 points on 6-for-10 shooting against Northern Arizona on Feb. 12. She was also in double figures with 10 points to go with four rebounds and three assists at Eastern Washington on Feb. 21.
Free-throw shooting has been key to Torres-Kahapea's recent scoring output. She's made at least five free throws in four of her five most recent double-digit scoring games. She had a streak of 19 straight free throws snapped in the first quarter against Northern Colorado on Feb. 14. She ranks third on the team with an .805 free throw percentage (66-for-82).
Torres-Kahapea is averaging a career-best 3.6 rebounds per game. That's 0.8 more per game than her previous career-best average (2.8 as a sophomore).
Torres-Kahapea ranks tied for second on the team with 23 made three-pointers this season while shooting 23-for-86 (.267) from beyond the arc.
Torres-Kahapea leads the Vikings with 2.69 assists per game. She tied her career high with seven assists in the Vikings' win over Sacramento State on Feb. 7. She's averaging 4.0 assists per game over the team's last seven games.
In her first game back in her native Hawai'i, Torres-Kahapea – the 2023 Hawai'i State Gatorade Player of the Year – scored a career-high 22 points while also setting career highs for field goals (6), field goal percentage (.750), free throws (8) and rebounds (6, since broken).

#5 Ajae Yoakum

Ajae Yoakum hit her first three-pointer of the season to go with seven points and six rebounds on Senior Day against Montana Saturday.
Yoakum has two double-doubles this season. The first came with 11 points and 14 rebounds (tying a career high) against Kansas City on Dec. 6. The second came with 10 points and 12 rebounds against Seattle U on Dec. 17. Both double-doubles came in Portland State wins.
Yoakum ranks 12th in the Big Sky Conference with 6.07 rebounds per game. She also ranks ninth in the conference with 2.37 offensive rebounds per game.
Yoakum's seven points Saturday were her most since she last scored in double figures with 10 points at Montana on Jan. 29.
Yoakum ranks third on the team with 1.67 assists per game. That's a career-best average for Yoakum. She's led or tied for the team lead in assists in seven games this season.
Yoakum reached 1,000-career points over her entire collegiate career (including junior college points) with a field goal late in the third quarter against San Jose State on Nov. 28.
Yoakum scored a season-high 20 points on 9-for-12 shooting from the field to go with a career high-tying three blocks in the Vikings' win over Willamette on Nov. 11.
Yoakum is finishing her career in her native Portland after previous stops at Eastern Arizona (2020-22), FIU (2022-24) and Arizona (2024-25). She won an Oregon 6A State title in 2019 with her Portland State teammate Cici Ellington when both were at Benson Polytechnic High School.

#23 Taylor Moffat

Taylor Moffat scored in double figures in back-to-back games for the first time all season, recording 10 points against both Montana State and Montana. She added a season-high six rebounds to go with four assists against the Bobcats Thursday. She has four double-digit scoring games this season.

Coaching Staff

Karlie Burris earned the first win of her head coaching career with an 89-52 victory over Willamette on Nov. 11.
Burris is a first-time head coach. She spent the past four years as an assistant coach at UNLV where she helped the Lady Rebels win four straight Mountain West Conference regular-season titles (2022-25), as well as three Mountain West Conference tournament titles (2022-24).
Burris outlined three areas of focus for the Vikings this season: 1) Transition offense and defense; 2) Rebounding; and 3) Execution. Execution is an umbrella term for winning the turnover battle, executing the scouting report, and holding the opposing team's best player to under 17 points.
Burris said of the lack of expectations on her team this year: "We're going to be the hunters this year at Portland State. We're super excited about that. No one has any expectations for us, other than ourselves. And we're excited to be the hunters. That's a good spot to be. You get to play really hard with reckless abandon and really not worry about the result because all the expectations are on the other team. It's a fun place to be. It's hunting season."
Assistant coach Raina Perez is a former finalist for the Nancy Lieberman Award, which honors the nation's best point guard. She made the finalist list while at NC State where she was part of runs to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight in 2021 and 2022, respectively.

General/Preseason Info

The Vikings returned nine letterwinners and had four incoming freshmen already committed to the roster when Karlie Burris was named head coach. Burris' one addition to the 2025-26 roster was Ajae Yoakum, who signed with the Vikings in April.
The Vikings were picked to finish tied for ninth and 10th in the Big Sky Conference in the preseason coaches and media polls, respectively. The Vikings have finished 10th in the conference three of the past four seasons.
The Vikings feature only one player listed as taller than six feet in Katelyn Best, who stands 6-3. However, the Vikings have four players listed at six feet exactly in Hannah Chicken, Cici Ellington, Kirstine Munk and Ajae Yoakum.
The Vikings have three players who won Oregon state titles in high school. Ellington and Yoakum won the 2019 OSAA 6A state title with Benson Polytechnic High School. Ellington was named the OSAA 6A State Co-Player of the Year that year alongside current WNBA player Cameron Brink. Kyleigh Brown, meanwhile, won the 5A state title with Silverton High School in 2024 when she was also named the OSAA 5A State Player of the Year.
The Vikings signed a five-player recruiting class this fall that features the 2025 Hawai'i State Gatorade Player of the Year in Nihoa Dunn. She'll join Torres-Kahapea, who won the award in 2023, in giving the Vikings two Hawai'i State Gatorade Players of the Year on the roster next season. Dunn is also one of two state champions in the Vikings' recruiting class along with Alex Padilla, who won an Oregon 6A state title with Tualatin High School. Emma Zuniga, from West Salem High School, represents a second Oregon product in the recruiting class, while Liv Collins and Aspen McClees will join the Vikings from Sumner, Wash., and Gilbert, Ariz., respectively.
