SALT LAKE CITY, Utah - Nicole Bruce had 14 of her career-high 20 points in the second half, as The College of Idaho erased a halftime deficit to win their fifth-straight game, a 92-87 victory over Holy Names at the Westminster Fall Classic.

The Lady Yotes (5-1), off to their best start in the eight years under head coach Reagan Rossi, eclipsed the 80-point mark for the fifth time in six games this season - despite going 0-for-6 from outside the arc.

The Hawks (1-4), of Oakland, Calif., jumped out to a 27-15 lead in a foul-marred opening half, as the two teams combined for 43 trips to the line in the opening 20 minutes - as the Lady Yotes cut the deficit to 47-43 at the break.  The lead would see-saw in the second stanza, before an Alexandria Allen steal and lay-up started a 10-0 run that gave the Coyotes the lead for good.

Bruce had a double-double - recording 11 rebounds to go with her 20 points, while Christon Vander Esch had 15 points, 14 rebounds, six blocked shots, and five steals in the win.  ShaNae Horner added 12 points, with Meghan Hughes scoring 11 points, to go with six rebounds and five assists.

HNU had four players in double figures, led by the 18 points and ten rebounds of reserve Britni Ronolo.

The Lady Yotes return home to open a three-game homestand on Friday, hosting Great Falls at 4 p.m.
