CSI is ranked number 11 in region 18 and the CSI Golden Eagles won the Region 18 Championship defeating Salt Lake Community College 65-46 on March 13 at home in Twin Falls.
With the win, CSI advances to the National Tournament in Lake Charles, Louisiana, where they'll compete in their half of the NCJAA tournament, which takes place from March 24-31.
Waterhouse said, “Being on the same level as girls I was usually one of the top players in high school, now in college it’s kind of humbled me a little bit just knowing that there’s other girls that can do exactly what I can do, that are bigger than me, quicker than me and faster than me. I just think that being a freshman on a team that hasn’t gone to Nationals and having the teammates and the opportunity to have a chance to win Nationals this year, I think it is really incredible.”
After suffering an injury Waterhouse said she came back in December 2025 and has played in about 15 games this season.
Playing basketball gives her the opportunity to obtain her associates degree, Cambrie said, “I think being able to play the sport I love is allowing me to obtain a degree, I wouldn’t be able to pay for college on my own and being able to enjoy doing something that holds me together while meeting new people really helps me to gain my education.”
The CSI women’s basketball team learned Monday in the NJCAA Tournament selection show, they received the seventh overall national seed and a first-round bye. The Golden Eagles will face the winner of No. 23 Northwest Mississippi and No. 10 Dodge City on Friday, March 27.
