CALDWELL, Ida. –Northwest University volleyball (5-8, 1-3 CCC) struggled against No. 14 The College of Idaho (9-4, 4-1 CCC), losing the match in four games.  The Yotes won the first game quite handedly.  The next three games were close, with Northwest's only win occurring in the third game.
 
Keann White led Northwest University with 14 kills, and the trio of Audrey Saelens, Kylie Szczepanski, and Sarah Howlett had three blocks apiece.
 
The Yotes were led by an impressive 55 assists from Marija Djonovic and 25 kills from Ashley Pagan.  
 
Head coach Steve Bain commented, "Idaho is a terrific team with a balanced offense and excellent defense.  They challenged us all night from the service line, and as a result, we had difficulty finding any consistency on offense.  That was especially the case in the first set, but credit our ladies for fighting back and doing their best to make a match out of it.  In that regard, I think our effort continues to be on point, and we will continue to focus on the details that will translate into improvements the next time we compete.​"
