GUNNISON, Colo. – An 18-1 run for Chadron State to begin the game carried the Eagles to a 70-60 win over the Western State Colorado University women's basketball team Friday night at Paul Wright Gym.  
 
Jade McIntosh (Sr., Colorado Springs, Colo.) paced the Mountaineers (4-16, 3-13 RMAC) with 18 points while pulling down six boards. Sydnie Lengyel (So., Tempe, Ariz.) totaled 10 points and a season-high 13 boards for her first double-double of the season while Stephanie Williams (R-Fr., Cerritos, Calif.) added 10 points and 10 boards for her first career double-double. Sadie Stroup (So. Foresthill, Calif.) also notched double figures with 10 points.
 
Turnovers and cold shooting helped CSC take a sizeable lead on the Mountaineers in the first 10 minutes of the game. Western started 0-of-11 from the field before McIntosh knocked down the first basket for the Mountaineers at the 10:52 mark to make it 18-3 in favor of the Eagles.
 
A three-pointer by Harlie Williams (So., Norwood, Colo.) began a 12-1 run for the Mountaineers with 8:24 to play in the first half. Baskets by Stroup and McIntosh helped Western climb back into the game before Harlie Williams connected on two free throws and Stephanie Williams added a bucket to make it 25-16 with five minutes to play in the half.
 
Western pulled within eight in the final minutes of the period but CSC was able to take a 35-22 lead into the break after a few Mountaineer turnovers.
 
The Mountaineers began the second half on a 9-2 run with six points coming from McIntosh to make it 37-31 2:20 into the period.
 
A three-point play by Lengyel pulled Western within five at 39-34 but the Eagles answered with a 5-0 spurt to take a 44-34 advantage with 15 minutes to play.
 
The Eagles continued to maintain a double-digit lead through a majority of the second half with Western only able to trim its deficit down to nine as CSC pulled out a 70-60 victory.
 
Stephanie Knowles led the Eagles (7-13, 7-9 RMAC) with 21 points and seven steals while Maka Daysh added 16 points and eight rebounds. Kayla Matthews also hit double figures with 11 points.
