COEUR d'ALENE - Shelby Carter hit a three-run home run in a five-run bottom of the fourth inning to lead the North Idaho College softball team past the Snow Badgers 7-2 in the first game of a scheduled Scenic West Athletic Conference doubleheader Saturday at Memorial Field.

The second game was canceled due to weather conditions.

Snow took a 1-0 lead on an RBI single in the first inning by Sydney Butler, but a two-run single by Amber Meyers gave NIC the lead for good in the bottom of the third.

NIC (16-27, 10-22 SWAC) hosts Western Nevada in doubleheaders Friday and Saturday at Memorial Field to conclude its home schedule.

Snow is 21-14, 19-13.
