COOS BAY, Ore. - North Idaho College sophomore forward Jaimee Hulst finished with a hat trick, two on assists by Meghan Pagano, to complete a 3-0 Northwest Athletic Conference win on Friday over Southwestern Oregon Community College.

Hulst scored her first goal in the 20th minute, taking a pass from Jasmine Smith for NIC (3-0-4, 2-0-4 NWAC).

Hulst's second goal came in the 44th minute, after she scored on an open-goal opportunity. She completed the hat trick after Pagano slid the ball to Hulst for the goal.
