Up next, CSU Pueblo now turns its attention to Virginia Beach and the NCAA Division II Indoor National Championships set for March 13-14.

On the men's side, Sanders and the men's basketball team has reached a season-high nine-game win streak after going unbeaten in two home wins in the regular season and secure the No. 3 seed in the RMAC Tournament.
