ALAMOSA, Colo. (February 21, 2015) — In the last home game of the season, the Adams State University Grizzlies women's basketball team saved their best performance of the season for last. On Senior Day, Desiree Anderson and Brittney Whiteman were sent off correctly due to the heroic showcase of abilities from freshman guard J'nae Squires-Horton. Adams State secured victory in the closing seconds of the game after Squires-Horton successfully splashed a three point basket to give the Grizzlies an 86-84 victory with only two seconds left remaining in regulation. The Grizzlies close out the weekend by beating the visiting Metropolitan State University of Denver Roadrunners and improve their record on the season to 4-20, 4-16 in Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) play. Metro State, who has been on the losing end of six of their last nine games, drop to 13-11 while being 10-10 in conference play.

In the final minutes of regulation with MSUD leading 79-72, Squires-Horton converted three straight shots from downtown to conclude the comeback.

Lena Jaycox also was highly influential in the showdown against Metro State as well by having nine assists.
