PRICE, Utah - North Idaho College dominated Utah State-Eastern on Friday, winning its Scenic West Athletic Conference opener, 25-23, 25-18, 25-14.

"It was not our best performance but a 3-0 road win is always good," NIC coach Miles Kydd said. "We need to clean up our unforced errors moving forward. Give the team full marks for hanging in and getting job done."

Maddi Seidl had 27 assists, while Allison Meehan had 11.
