NIC takes the lead

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

North Idaho rained a bunch of 3-pointers to start the second half, and CCS had just one answer. So, with 10 minutes left, NIC leads 60-56.

The Cardinals hit 3-pointers on three consecutive possessions and opened a 53-45 lead. The Sasquatch came back behind Clift, who scored nine of CCS’s first 16, and assisted on two other hoops.

The Sasquatch got back within one with nine minutes left, within three with the ball three times in the next few minutes, but never cashed in. With 4:39 left, NIC leads 66-61.
