Cards sweep Colorado NW again

ST. GEORGE, Utah - Shelby Gonzales hit home runs in both games and finished with four RBIs in North Idaho's second sweep in as many days of Colorado Northwestern 22-2 and 9-0 in Scenic West Conference softball at Dixie High.

Freshman Nina Goodwin tallied three hits and five RBIs, Kristina DeAnda went 3 for 4 with a home run and finished with five RBIs for the Cardinals (11-10, 6-6 SWAC).

"We decided on a few goals to help challenge ourselves and definitely exceeded them for the day," NIC coach Don Don Williams said. "It was finally good to see us play like we know how and not play down to the other team or get mental. The girls have been working on little things in their swings so it was good to see their hard work pay off."

Jenifer Rosie allowed three hits and went the distance on the hill in both games for NIC, which faces Snow College in a doubleheader in Ephraim, Utah, on Feb. 18.
