CSU-Pueblo 72, Northern New Mexico 52
CSU-Pueblo recorded 52 boards and shot strong on the perimeter
against Northern New Mexico, claiming a 72-52 win at the Chuck
Stephens Classic Saturday.
The Pack out-boarded the Eagles 52-41, undoing a poor night of
shooting for the ThunderWolves - just 35 percent from the field -
and claiming a win that was over for all intents and purposes by
halftime.
CSU-Pueblo held a 34-19 halftime lead despite shooting just 33
percent from the field. The Pack built on that as numerous
players stepped up and posted career highs. Donell
Wells (Jr., Denver, Colo.) recorded 13 points, one of
three ThunderWolves to hit the "unlucky" point total.
Daniel Pierce (Jr, Edgewood, N.M.) drained three
three-pointers and posted 13, as did Marc Williams (Sr.,
Seattle, Wash.), also posting three threes.
CSU-Pueblo will next hit the hardwood Monday when it travels to
Denver to take on RMAC foe Regis in a non-conference battle.
