Box Score

FORT COLLINS, Colo. - Three Colorado State women's basketball players scored in double-digits to lead the Rams to a 74-36 victory over UNLV Wednesday night at Moby Arena.

Colorado State (16-11, 7-6) held the Mountain West Conference's top team in steals to three, while making 12 of its own for the game. UNLV shot a season low 28 percent from the field (13-of-47) and was held to a season low 36 points. The Rams also forced the Lady Rebels to commit 23 turnovers on their home court. Senior Ashley Augspurger scored a game-high 20 points, while teammates Katie Borton and Joy Jenkins each had 10.

UNLV senior All-America candidate Constance Jinks (Chicago, Ill.), who received MWC Player of the Week honors on Monday, was held to 5-of-19 shooting from the floor. She played 31 minutes in the contest after getting into foul trouble early (3) with 2:56 to go in the first half, but ended the night with 11 points. Colorado State would outscore UNLV 45-16 in the second half.

Sophomore Sherry McCracklin (Hazel Crest, Ill.) led all Lady Rebel scorers with 14 points and 12 rebounds to mark her fifth double-double performance in conference play this season and seventh of her career. Freshman reserve Sheena Moore (Lansing, Mich.) added seven.

The Rams remain undefeated at home in MWC play (6-0), having lost once the entire regular season at Moby Arena to USC back on Nov. 17. Last month, the Lady Rebels defeated CSU, 90-71, at Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas. Colorado State snaps a three-game losing skid to the Lady Rebels and evens the regular season series.

UNLV (16-10, 7-6) will conclude its regular season slate on Friday, March 7 at league rival Wyoming (17-9, 7-6) at 7 p.m. (MST) in Laramie, Wyo.
