The CSU women’s basketball team had their most recent winning streak of seven games unexpectedly snapped. With this tough lesson handed to them on Jan. 11 by No. 2 ranked conference rivals Fresno State, the Rams are determined to maintain their competitive edge in the Mountain West.

With their winning streak anew and two commanding wins back under their belt, the Rams will face the New Mexico Lobos in Albuquerque. Even though their last face off against the Lobos resulted in a double digit victory, the Rams aren’t taking this road game lightly and are expecting to face a tough competitor.
