SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Kiki Edwards-Teasley scored 18 points to lead the 25th-ranked North Idaho Cardinals past the Scottsdale Fighting Artichokes 85-34 to conclude the nonconference portion of their women's basketball schedule.

"We came out and played our game like we have since the end of the Christmas break," NIC coach Chris Carlson said. "Korina (Baker) got us off to a good start and Kiki was tough around the basket for us tonight."
