LA GRANDE, Ore. - Nicole Gall and Dayna Drager combined for 11 three-pointers and 55 points, as The College of Idaho routed Walla Walla University, 92-22, in the opening game of the Aramark Classic.
The No. 19 ranked Lady Yotes (3-2) forced 35 turnovers by the NAIA independent – holding an opponent to the fewest points since a 102-17 victory over Maine-Fort Kent in 2000.

The C of I jumped out to a quick 13-0 lead, holding the Wolves (1-7) without a made field goal for the first seven minutes of the game, taking a 45-15 lead to the break. The Lady Yotes would open the second half on a 26-5 run, allowing just three made field goals in the frame.
Gall led all players with 29 points, on 11-of-17 shooting, adding four assists and five steals, while Drager scored a career-high 26 points, logging a team-high seven rebounds. Freshman Lexi Kappel made a solid debut, scoring 12 points, with AC Holt adding eight.
Nicke Parks led WWU with 11 points in the loss.
