Mavericks Fall to Griffins
The Colorado Mesa University (CMU) women’s basketball team found themselves in troubled territory tonight by having 23 personal fouls in loss to the Westminster Griffins.
The Mavericks had to make adjustments to their game plan due to senior guard Kylyn Rigsby and redshirt sophomore Natalie Bartle drawing fouls early on. The Mavericks would ended up losing 64-61.
“They weren’t guarding three of our girls and that was it. They were guarding Ky and they were guardian Kelsey and they were just baiting everyone else to shoot it and they weren’t comfortable taking the shot,” Women’s Basketball Head Coach, Taylor Wagner said.

Colorado Mesa University (CMU) lost nine of its players from last year due to graduations, opt-outs or injuries. They needed sophomore forward Ethan Menzies to be the next man up for the Mavericks, and he has done exactly that.
Menzies averaged 5.9 points per game and 3.4 rebounds per game in his freshman campaign.
