Cards defeat former NWAC foe Spokane CC 70-48

North Idaho 70 

Spokane 48 

COEUR d'ALENE — Slowed by a thumb injury early on, sophomore Chloe Collin missed most of October getting healthy. 

On Saturday, the Brampton, Ontario, native didn't miss much, shooting 5 of 6 from the field and 9 of 9 from the free-throw line, finishing with a team-high 19 points for the Cardinals in a nonconference win over the Spokane Colleges (formerly Community Colleges of Spokane) Sasquatch at Rolly Williams Court. 

"We'd thought she'd broken her thumb and just streched some ligaments," NIC coach Nathan Covill said of Collin, who also had four rebounds and three steals. "She really came in and played well. Everyone did some good things today." 

Sophomore Summer Faleafa added 13 points, six blocks and five rebounds for NIC (2-4), which hosts Big Bend of Moses Lake on Dec. 3. 

Camia Howard scored 21 points for Spokane (0-2), which shot 16 of 57. 

"We played really well defensively," Covill said. "It was a great weekend for us and good to get some momentum going forward."
