The Chadron State College basketball teams are in Colorado this weekend.

WOMEN — The women will play two more Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference games in the Denver area this weekend as they play at Regis on Saturday and Metro State Saturday.

Chadron State will also play Monday, Dec. 31 at Wayne State in a non-conference game.

Saturday’s game at Regis will start at 5 p.m. while Sunday’s action at Metro will begin at 3.

The Regis women are 2-5 overall and 1-2 in the conference.

The Metro women are 4-4 overall and 2-1 in the RMAC after falling to Regis, but defeating Colorado Springs 62-49 and Pueblo 54-43 last weekend.

Both games will air on Double Q Country Radio, 97.5 FM in Chadron.

MEN — The Eagles will play at Regis Saturday at 7 p.m. and Metro State Sunday at 5 p.m.

The Regis men (2-4, 1-2 RMAC) toppled the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs 77-67 on Saturday night after being thumped by Pueblo, 82-58.

Metro State, which is ranked third in the latest NABC/Division II Top 25 Poll, are averaging 82.3 points and giving up just 61 while owning a 7-0 record.

The CSC men beat the Roadrunners 65-64 in Denver last February. It was the Eagles’ first win over Metro since 1999-2000.

Both of the men’s games will be broadcast live on Double Q Country Radio, 97.5 FM in Chadron.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Chadron State College senior cross country runner Kelley Troester has been named to the 2012 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Men’s Cross Country All-Academic Second Team.

To be eligible for the team, a student-athlete must have a cumulative GPA of 3.30, be a starter or key reserve and completed two consecutive semesters at his or her school.

Troester, a senior from Marsland, has a 3.97 GPA in rangeland management and is the first cross country runner from Chadron State to be named to the all-academic team.

Five other Eagles – three men and two women – earned honorable mention all-academic honors.

They are Gavan Archibald, a junior from St. Ann, Jamaica, Alex Johnson, a senior from Kearney, Mathew Mathiason, a junior from Pierce, Colo., Jayme Nunes, a sophomore from Alliance, and Becca Volf, a redshirt freshman from Wood River.

The RMAC Women’s All-Academic Runner of the Year is Adams State’s Kelly Lamb.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Following a strong showing at the opening indoor track and field meet of the season, three Chadron State College track and field student-athletes have been named Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Athletes of the Week.

Alyssa Norton is the Women’s Field Athlete of the Week, while Charith Kapukotuwa and Alex Graham sweep the men’s track and field honors.

Norton, a junior from Rushville, recorded a career-best throw in the shot put with a heave of 46-feet, 5-inches and finished second in the 20-pound weight throw.

Graham, a junior from St. Leonardo, Jamaica, won the 60-meter dash in 6.75 seconds, just one-hundredth of a second shy of the school record he set last winter.

Finally, Kapukotuwa, a junior from Chilaw, Sri Lanka, won the 35-pound weight throw with a mark of 59-4 ¼.

All three CSC student-athletes provisionally qualified for the 2013 NCAA Division II Indoor National Championships with their winning marks.

The Western Nebraska Community College women’s basketball team put the turmoil of the past few days…which included forfeiting 13 of its 14 wins and having center Evgenia Samorodova declared ineligible by the NJCAA…behind it last night and ran past the Colorado Christian University Junior Varsity 71-53 in Lakewood, Colo.

The game was WNCC’s last one of the semester and Cougar coach Dave Harnish called it “a good win to go into break,” especially given what the team has gone through and that they were missing several starters.

His review of his team’s play was more mixed. Harnish said they struggled in the first half…leading by only 13 at halftime…and didn’t finish strong in the final 4 or 5 minutes, but played well the rest of the time in pushing the lead to a many as 30 points.

WNCC showed the depth of their bench, as every Cougar who suited up played. Harnish says it was a good night to play everyone and that they all “did a decent job”…also another good way to finish off the semester.

Kelsey Doddridge and Mauriissa Ortega each hit three 3-pointers en route to double digit nights…a game-high 18 points for Doddridge and 16 for Ortega. The Cougars other trey on the night came from Mikayla Brower, who ended with 9 points…as did former Bridgeport star Ashley Stevens.

WNCC is off until January 7th, when they travel to Goodland, Kan., to take on Northwest Kansas Technical College…followed by the sub-regional opener on the road at Lamar Community College.

Harnish wishes the team didn’t have a 3-week break because they’ve been playing so well. “You really don’t want to stop; you want to keep playing while the team is playing well. You are always scared with the 3-week break what they are going to come back like.

Still, Harnish…who is in his 25th season coaching the Cougars…is optimistic “we can pick up where we left off.” He says the win over Colorado Christian sends the players out with a positive attitude, so he’s hopeful they will “have a positive attitude, work hard over break, and come back and start up where we ended.”
