ALAMOSA, Colo. (December 20, 2014)—The Adams State University women's basketball team returns home after three consecutive conference road games.

Last Time Out for the Grizzlies
ASU lost last Saturday, Dec. 13, to conference rival, the Fort Lewis Skyhawks by a 71-46 score. While ASU jumped out to an early seven point lead in the first half, the Grizzlies were unable to find a defensive answer for Lynette Hepa and Michelle Tuner. The duo dominated the flow of the game and put the Skyhawks back in the driver's seat in the second half by assisting the offense to score 46 points.  Poor shooting from the field also hindered the Grizzlies from obtaining any sort of offensive rhythm. Desiree Anderson led the Grizzlies with 18 points;15 of those points came in the second half.
