DURANGO, Colo. -- January 30, 2016 -- The Chadron State College women's basketball team (7-12, 7-8 RMAC) put together a solid fourth quarter effort, but they could not overcome a deficit that reached 36 by the start of the fourth quarter. The Skyhawks (12-8, 8-7 RMAC) took the 78-51 decision to win the battle of .500 RMAC teams.

The Eagles were blanked from the three-point line, going 0 for 13 on the night. Seven different CSC players fired from long range.

Despite a difficult first and second quarter, Chadron State led the Skyhawks shooting 37.5% to 31.4% from the floor in the second half.

FLC sophomore guard Dallas Dickerson came off the bench with a double-double, scoring 17 and grabbing 10 rebounds. Astrea Reed led all scorers with 18 points. Fort Lewis went deep into their bench, with 11 of 12 active players scoring.

Kayla Mathews was the Eagles' top scorer with 11 points. The Eagles put up respectable numbers at the foul line - something they've struggled to do previously - with 16 free throw shots good out of 19 second-half attempts. Mathews was good for 9 of 12, including 7 of 8 in the third and fourth quarters.

Colorado Christian and Colorado Mines come into Chadron this week with a combined conference record of 24-6. Colorado Mines was receiving votes in the latest WBCA national poll prior to losing at home to Black Hills State tonight.
