COEUR d'ALENE - Sophomore Renae Mokrzycki had 10 points and 14 rebounds to lead the 14th-ranked North Idaho College women's basketball team past the Sheridan (Wyo.) College Generals 76-57 at Rolly Williams Court on Saturday night.

NIC broke open a 35-33 halftime lead with a 10-0 run early in the second half to pull away.

"We just started taking the ball to the basket hard," NIC coach Chris Carlson said. "Since Renae signed (with Idaho), she's been playing a great game of basketball and has just been all over the court."

Kara Staggs scored 16 points for NIC (6-1), which hosts Wenatchee Valley on Friday at 5:30 p.m.

"We started coming together after halftime and playing to win," Carlson said. "We mixed up our defenses a little more in the second half and made some plays."
