Fort Lewis College gave the fifth-ranked team in the country all it could handle on its own home floor. It wasn’t quite enough.
In a tightly contest-game that saw 21 lead changes, No. 5 Colorado School of Mines (6-0, 5-0 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference) prevailed 79-73 to hold off the FLC Skyhawks (2-2, 1-2 RMAC) on Saturday night in Golden in a big NCAA Division II clash.
