ALAMOSA, Colo. – The Adams State Grizzlies will close out the 2021 portion of the season with three straight road games. The action for the Grizzlies is set to start on Tuesday when the Grizzlies travel to Pueblo to take on the CSU Pueblo ThunderWolves. They will then hit the road for an afternoon affair with South Dakota Mines on Saturday (Dec. 11) before a one-game road trip to Colorado Mesa next Friday.
The Grizzlies have started the season 1-1, with a win against New Mexico Highlands 80-43 and a loss against the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs by 60-71.
CSU Pueblo ranked at No. 24 in last week's Women's Basketball Coaches Association poll, is heading into the game against the Grizzlies 2-0 in conference games and 6-1 overall.
