ALAMOSA, Colo. (January 17th, 2017) – The Adams State University women's basketball is coming off of a winless weekend that puts them on a 12 game losing streak. The Grizzlies will have another two chances to break that streak this weekend in front of the home crowd against Chadron State and Regis University.
Recently For Adams State Women's Basketball:
The Grizzlies played admirable defense over the weekend, but let both games slip away in the second half. The team lost 74-58 on Friday to South Dakota Mines and lost to Black Hills on Saturday by a 68-48 margin.
About Chadron State:
Chadron State comes in at 4-10, 4-7 RMAC which makes them the most favorable matchup to end Adams State's losing streak.

The Eagles will be led by their junior guard, Kalli Feddersen who is averaging 13.1 points a game. Kalli has also been solid on defense with 24 steals on the year.
Last Meeting: The Grizzlies have already faced the Eagles once this season in Nebraska on New Year's Eve. That game was a heartbreaker for the Grizzlies as they fell 60-59. In the fourth of that game, Deshea Wilkes would nail a 3 pointer to bring the Grizzlies within 1. Adams would make a defensive stop and get one last shot at the buzzer however. Unfortunately,
Brianna Reyna's last second layup attempt did not drop and the Grizzlies dropped the contest by 1 point. Friday's game will tip off at 5:30pm.
