GUNNISON, Colo. - After a 62-23 win last Saturday, Western State Colorado University football returns to Mountaineer Bowl. The Mountaineers will host New Mexico Highlands University at 1 p.m. this Saturday during Family Weekend on Western's Campus.

Western (1-5, 1-3 RMAC) is coming off an impressive 62-23 victory on the road against Black Hills State University. The Mountaineers went for 604 yards of total offense, scoring 38 points in the first half. The Western defense forced three interceptions and the special teams returned a kickoff for a touchdown for the the first time since 2003. The returner of that kickoff touchdown was Rodray Perkins (RFr., Mesquite, Texas), who took the kick back 90 yards for the score, earning Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Special Teams Player of the Week honors.

NMHU (0-6, 0-4 RMAC) will be looking for their first conference win. The Cowboys fell to Colorado Mesa University last weekend, 31-6. NMHU is led on offense by quarterback Keith Moore, who is averaging 177.33 yards passing per game. Defensively, Don Carter has recorded four sacks on the season and will lead the Cowboy pass rush.
