CALDWELL, Idaho – Kylie Nawahine had eight kills and a career-high 24 digs, helping The College of Idaho complete a perfect home weekend, toppling Northwest University, 25-20, 25-9, 25-17 in Cascade Conference action at the J.A. Albertson Activities Center.
Set 1 saw the Yotes (2-7, 2-1 CCC) jump out to a 17-10 lead after Sierra Porter quick-hit a Nawahine pass, but NU cut the margin to 20-19 on a Rae Ann Hastings kill.
