Last Time Out
In their last on-court appearance, the Grizzlies lost against Western New Mexico University by a 62-49 score. Freshman forward Lauren McDonald paced the team offensively, scoring 13 points against the visiting Mustangs. A large part of McDonald's offensive success came on behalf of her strong free throw shooting, where the Salida native converted a perfect 6-6 on all her shots from beyond the charity stripe. The loss against the Mustangs marked the Grizzlies ninth consecutive loss in conference play.

About the Chadron State College Eagles (6-11, 6-7 RMAC)
The Eagles are currently situated in the sixth place in the Rocky Division of the RMAC and were riding a three game winning streak until the Eagles lost their last matchup against Colorado Mesa University. So far throughout the season, Chadron has notched victories and lost highly contested games against some of the toughest competition in the RMAC. The Eagles have beaten both Regis and the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, and have lost close games against both Metro State and Colorado State University-Pueblo.

The Eagles have a top-ten offense within the RMAC that averages 61.5 points per game. CSC converts on 40 percent of their shots which is good for second within the conference. A large part of their offensive success is due to the play of freshman forward Maka Dayash. She fills in as the focal point of Head Coach Tom Connealy offense and averages 15.6 points per game, which is good for the fourth best average within the conference.

About the Regis University Rangers (11-8,  9-4 RMAC)
The Rangers' season has been a tale of two halves. After starting off the year losing seven of their first eleven games, the program has reeled off seven wins in their last eight on-court appearances. The Rangers will enter this weekend's action as one of the hottest teams within the RMAC, riding a five game winning streak that extended with a monumental victory over Colorado Mesa University. With the win over the Mavericks, the Rangers leapfrogged CMU for the third ranking within the Rocky Division. With Regis already owning a victory over UCCS, the Rocky Division is well within the grasp for first year Head Coach Molly Marrin.

Statistically speaking, Regis has the ninth best offense within the conference. The program averages 62.8 points per game and makes their living from beyond the three-point line. Regis converts 33 percent of their shots from downtown which is good for third within the RMAC. Guard Bay'lee Purdy paces the team offensively, averaging 15 points per game.
