OMAHA, Neb. -&nbsp;The&nbsp;Omaha Supernovas, Nebraska’s professional volleyball team and first pro volleyball champions, began its 2025 title defense with a victory over the Atlanta Vibe in a five-set thriller (22-25, 25-19, 22-25, 25-22, 15-13) Friday at the&nbsp;CHI Health Center&nbsp;in downtown Omaha.&nbsp;

The Supernovas reset its own&nbsp;U.S. Pro Volleyball record Friday night,&nbsp;witnessing&nbsp;13,486 fans&nbsp;pack into CHI, surpassing their previous attendance record of 12,090 set last season. In less than two years of existence, the Supernovas franchise owns the top-eight U.S. Pro Volleyball attendance records with six of those having at least 11,000.&nbsp;

The Supernovas’ victory was fueled by 2024 PVF All-League First Team pick&nbsp;Brooke Nuneviller&nbsp;who led the charge as Player of the Game. The third-year pro delivered an impressive 22 kills and 17 digs showcasing her dominance on both offense and defense. Middle blocker and former Husker&nbsp;Kaitlyn Hord&nbsp;also made Supernovas history, breaking the franchise’s single-match blocking record with seven stuffs. Hord added 10 kills and recorded a .555 hitting percentage on the night.

Set 1:&nbsp;The match began with Beason making an immediate impact for the Vibe, securing three of the team’s first five points with two kills and a block to give Atlanta a 5-3 advantage. The opening set was filled with errors from both teams, but the set remained competitive with the Vibe keeping an arm’s reach out front. Shelly Fanning mustered a kill, and a Payne error gave Atlanta a four-point edge at 18-14. A reversal on a block touch swung the momentum and killed a Supernovas comeback as Fanning closed the door for a 25-22 set win.

Set 2:&nbsp;The Supernovas came out strong in the second set, jumping to an early 5-2 lead. Beason followed up with a key kill, tying the score at 8-8.

Set 3:&nbsp;The set started off tight with a 6-6 tie as points were traded back and forth. Tied at 10, Atlanta mounted a rally with a pair of blocks from Vicini and two kills by Edmond to give the Vibe a 15-11 advantage. Trailing 18-13, A string of four-straight points and three consecutive blocks helped the Supernovas close the gap at 18-17. Another Nuneviller kill tied the set at 20, but a 5-1 Atlanta run – highlighted by two Vicini blocks – gave the Vibe a 2-1 set advantage with a 25-22 game win.&nbsp;

Set 4:&nbsp;The Supernovas made a key adjustment in the fourth set, bringing in Batenhorst for Cooper, to fuel a 7-1 lead to start the set. Batenhorst secured her second kill of the match to help the Supernovas extend its advantage to 11-6. The momentum continued as Omaha extended the score to 15-9 off a Payne kill and block, forcing the Vibe to call a timeout. For the remainder of the set Batenhorst and Nuneviller took charge offensively, leading the Supernovas with four kills each.

Omaha broke its own attendance record from a season ago when 12,090 packed into CHI on March 16, 2024, to see the Supernovas beat the Orlando Valkyries 3-1. The franchise&nbsp;has now hosted the top eight most attended Pro Volleyball matches in U.S. history&nbsp;with nine of the top ten taking place in Nebraska.&nbsp;&nbsp;

In less than two seasons of existence, the Supernovas have hosted six crowds of 11,000 or more and eight with more than 10,000&nbsp;in attendance.&nbsp;&nbsp;

During its championship run in the&nbsp;inaugural&nbsp;2024&nbsp;PVF season, Omaha and the Supernovas became the league's shining&nbsp;star, hosting 134,969 fans across the 14 matches held at the CHI Health Center.&nbsp;That includes a whopping 9,656 average mark for the 12 Supernovas’ home matches,&nbsp;which was No. 1 in the world&nbsp;in&nbsp;pro volleyball&nbsp;average&nbsp;attendance. Plus, there&nbsp;were&nbsp;19,094&nbsp;spectators who attended the PVF Semifinals and Championship&nbsp;in May.&nbsp;

"The unwavering support and enthusiasm of Omaha fans continue to set the gold standard in professional volleyball,"&nbsp;Supernovas Owner Danny White said. "Resetting the U.S. Pro Volleyball record is another testament to the incredible energy of&nbsp;NovasNation&nbsp;and their unmatched passion for the sport.&nbsp;It's&nbsp;not just about the numbers —&nbsp;it's&nbsp;about the community&nbsp;we've&nbsp;built together and the milestones we will continue to achieve. As we look ahead, we remain committed to raising the bar and delivering a major league volleyball experience that inspires the next generation athletes and fans."&nbsp;

"NovasNation&nbsp;has shown the world that professional volleyball has a bright future,"&nbsp;Supernovas Partner Kirk Thompson shared. "Breaking another U.S. Pro Volleyball record underscores the growing hunger for this sport and the impact it's making on a major-league level.&nbsp;We're proud to be at the forefront of this growth, showing what's possible when passion meets opportunity, and we're excited to keep elevating the game for our fans and the sport as a whole."&nbsp;

“The entire Metro area, Nebraska and our region has embraced the Supernovas with open arms since our first match one year ago.”&nbsp;Supernovas Team President Diane Mendenhall.&nbsp;“This achievement highlights the passion, dedication and growth of&nbsp;NovasNation&nbsp;since the Championship Match last May.

CHADRON, Neb. – Colorado School of Mines made great use of the free throw line Thursday night while defeating Chadron State 76-61 in a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference men's basketball game played in Chadron.  

The Orediggers meshed 23 of 24 free shots while the host Eagles, now 6-7 for the season and 2-3 in the RMAC, were just 5-of-8 at the line. Both teams were perfect at the line in the second half. Mines was 15-of-15 and CSC was 2-of-2 while being fouled just three times. The Eagles outscored their guests 56-53 in points from the field by making 25 total field goals, two more than the visitors, and hitting six threes, one fewer than Mines. 

Chadron State had two double-figure scorers. Julio Phipps was 6-of-8 from the field, sank his only 3-pointer and made both of his free throws for 15 points and Darrius Miles finished with 14 points by going 6-of-9 from the field and 1-of-2 on both 3-pointers and free throws.

The Orediggers, now 11-2 for the season and 5-0 in the RMAC, led the entire game. They jumped out to a 9-0 lead in the first 90 seconds when their leading scorers for both the game and the season, seniors Majok Deng and Riley Schroeder, each sank a 3-pointer and Deng added three free throws after he was fouled while firing from behind the arc again.

The Eagles soon had the difference down to four points when Miles scored on a putback, guard Jalen Thomas stole the ball and nailed a jumper and Miles made one of two free throws. 

Mines responded by going on another 9-0 run to take an 18-5 lead. Schroeder tallied seven of those points by hitting a jumper, getting a tipin and sinking another trey. That gave Schroeder 10 of his final tally of 12 points in the game. Only Deng, who was 7-of-7 at the free throw line while finishing with a game-high 17 points, scored more points for the Orediggers. 

Although Mines led by 13 just five-and-a-half minutes into the game, the Eagles chipped away and drew within five points—33-28—on Zy Wright's layup with 3:20 remaining in the opening half. Unfortunately, Chadron State failed to score again in the half and trailed 37-28 at intermission. The Orediggers also netted 12 of the first 14 points in the second half to build a 49-30 advantage and led by at least 14 points the rest of the way.

Phipps and Miles were CSC's top rebounders with five apiece.  The Eagles finished with 32 rebounds, one fewer than Mines, but scored 34 points in the paint, six more than the visitors.

 </figure>By: Con Marshall&nbsp; CSC Sports InformationCHADRON, Neb. – Colorado School of Mines made great use of the free throw line Thursday night while defeating Chadron State 76-61 in a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference men's basketball game played in Chadron. The Orediggers meshed 23 of 24 free shots while the host Eagles, now 6-7 for the season and 2-3 in the RMAC, were just 5-of-8 at the line. Both teams were perfect at the line in the second half. Mines was 15-of-15 and CSC was 2-of-2 while being fouled just three times. The Eagles outscored their guests 56-53 in points from the field by making 25 total field goals, two more than the visitors, and hitting six threes, one fewer than Mines. Chadron State had two double-figure scorers. Julio Phipps was 6-of-8 from the field, sank his only 3-pointer and made both of his free throws for 15 points and Darrius Miles finished with 14 points by going 6-of-9 from the field and 1-of-2 on both 3-pointers and free throws.The Orediggers, now 11-2 for the season and 5-0 in the RMAC, led the entire game. They jumped out to a 9-0 lead in the first 90 seconds when their leading scorers for both the game and the season, seniors Majok Deng and Riley Schroeder, each sank a 3-pointer and Deng added three free throws after he was fouled while firing from behind the arc again.The Eagles soon had the difference down to four points when Miles scored on a putback, guard Jalen Thomas stole the ball and nailed a jumper and Miles made one of two free throws. Mines responded by going on another 9-0 run to take an 18-5 lead. Schroeder tallied seven of those points by hitting a jumper, getting a tipin and sinking another trey. That gave Schroeder 10 of his final tally of 12 points in the game. Only Deng, who was 7-of-7 at the free throw line while finishing with a game-high 17 points, scored more points for the Orediggers. Although Mines led by 13 just five-and-a-half minutes into the game, the Eagles chipped away and drew within five points—33-28—on Zy Wright's layup with 3:20 remaining in the opening half. Unfortunately, Chadron State failed to score again in the half and trailed 37-28 at intermission. The Orediggers also netted 12 of the first 14 points in the second half to build a 49-30 advantage and led by at least 14 points the rest of the way.Phipps and Miles were CSC's top rebounders with five apiece. The Eagles finished with 32 rebounds, one fewer than Mines, but scored 34 points in the paint, six more than the visitors. CSC also shot 43.1% from the field while Mines was just 41.8%, but the Orediggers 23-of-24 free throw marksmanship made the difference. Chadron State will play at home again Saturday afternoon when they greet another Denver-area team, Regis. The Rangers are 5-8 after losing to Black Hills State 90-73 Thursday night in Spearfish.

#13 Colorado Mines pulls away in second half to top Chadron State

By: Paxton Ritchie CSC Sports Information Director

CHADRON, Neb. – In a game where neither team shot better than 30 percent from the field, Jenna Siebert's 23 points on 25 field goal attempts were the difference for the visiting Colorado School of Mines Orediggers, who defeated Chadron State 55-45 in an RMAC women's basketball game at the Chicoine Center Thursday.

The loss drops the Eagles to 2-9 overall and 1-4 in the RMAC. Mines improved to 4-9 overall and 2-3 in conference play. 

Kyra Tanabe (13 points) and Allison Richards (11) scored in double figures for Chadron State, with Richards returning to the rotation after a two-game absence. Tanabe shot 4-for-13 from the field, grabbed eight rebounds and dished out a team-high three assists. Ashayla Powers had a team-high nine rebounds to go with seven points. 

The Eagles shot 25.4 percent from the field, making 15 of 59 field goal attempts. They were only 15.8 percent from three (3-19) but continued to excel from the free-throw line, hitting 92.3 of shots from the stripe (12-13). The Eagles are hitting 80 percent of their free throws as a team this season, third-best in the RMAC. 

Despite the low percentages for CSC, the Eagles defense forced the Orediggers into a tough shooting night as well. The visitors were 27.3 percent from the field, 16.7 percent from three and only 63 percent (17-27) from the line. 

The difference came with Colorado School of Mines outrebounding CSC 52-45, including 18 offensive rebounds that consistently gave the Orediggers extra possessions. Chadron State also committed 15 turnovers, the Orediggers had just 10. 

Colorado School of Mines took an early lead by margins of 6-0 and 9-3, but the Eagles used a 7-0 scoring run with four points from Jordyn Stokes and a three from Allison Richards to take a 10-9 lead after one quarter of play. 

The Eagles led for much of the second quarter as both teams struggled to score. Back-to-back jumpers from Olivia Waufle and Tanabe gave CSC its largest lead at 14-10, but Mines took a 17-16 lead on a Peyton Freiermuth jumper with 2:10 to go in the first half and led 19-17 at halftime.

The teams traded baskets early in the third, with an Allison Richards three-point play making it 23-22, Orediggers. But Mines found a run, outscoring CSC 11-2 over the next five minutes of game time to separate and build the first double digit lead for either team.

CSC closed the third quarter on a 6-2 run, but Mines maintained the lead throughout the fourth quarter. It was a two-point game at 47-45 with a minute to play, but Siebert had a layup and Mines scored six points from the free-throw line in the game's final 19 seconds for a deceptively large final margin of victory.

Chadron State will remain at home this Saturday against Regis (5-7, 3-2 RMAC). The Rangers lost 79-55 to Black Hills State on Thursday and have dropped their last three. 

Chadron State— Kyra Tanabe 13, Allison Richards 11, Ashayla Powers 7, Jordyn Stokes 4, McKenzi Petersen 4, Olivia Waufle 2, Bati Assefa 2, Liberty Line 2. Totals: 15-59 FG, 3-19 3PT, 12-13 FT. 45 points, 45 rebounds, 7 assists, 15 turnovers.

Creighton superstar setter&nbsp;Kendra Wait,&nbsp;Nebraska volleyball player and Omaha native&nbsp;Lindsay Krause, first-round pick&nbsp;Toyosi Onabanjo,&nbsp;and Minnesota’s&nbsp;Phoebe Awoleye&nbsp;all signed contracts with the Supernovas.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Wait ended her career as one of the best players in Creighton volleyball history. The four-year starting setter helped her team reach the Regional Final for the second time in school history in 2024, falling just short to the eventual national champions Penn State in five sets. Wait became the first-ever Bluejay volleyball player to be named a four-time All-American after being selected to the AVCA All-America First Team. She was named to the third team in 2023, plus her two honorable mention honors in 2021 and 2022. The Kansas native won back-to-back BIG EAST Player and Setter of the Year awards while being a four-time All-BIG EAST nominee.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The most impressive part of Wait’s game is her all-around ability. She finished her college career with 4,945 assists (10.75 A/S), 1,454 digs (3.16 D/S), 784 points, 507 kills (1.10 K/S) on a .362 hitting percentage, 360 total blocks and 85 aces.&nbsp;&nbsp;

“I am excited to have officially signed with the Supernovas! I’m grateful to have the opportunity to stay in Omaha and be surrounded by the community that has supported me for the past 4 years,” Wait said.&nbsp;“Omaha fans are truly one of a kind. I can’t wait to get in the gym with all the amazing players, coaches, and staff who make this organization so special.”&nbsp;

Krause wrapped up her four-year college career at Nebraska, helping the Cornhuskers to two national runners-up and three Final Fours. The 6-foot-4 attacker recorded 857 points, 2.36 kills per set, 185 blocks and 24 aces in 102 career matches played in Lincoln. The former No. 1 overall recruit makes a return to her hometown of Omaha with the Supernovas.&nbsp;&nbsp;

“Signing with the Supernovas is nothing short of a dream come true,” Krause shared. “It is nothing short of a privilege to not only have the ability to play professional volleyball in the United States, but in my hometown in Nebraska.”&nbsp;

After transferring from Iowa, Onabanjo formed into one of the best offensive middle blockers in the country during her last two college seasons at Kansas. She averaged 1.82 kills per set and 107 blocks in her junior season with the Jayhawks before a breakout season in her senior year.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Houston, Texas native was named an All-American for the first time in her career with an Honorable Mention honor after recording 2.58 kills per set on a staggering .409 hitting percentage – which was a top 15 mark in the country and second in the conference. Toyosi was also part of the All-Big 12 First Team thanks to 123 blocks on the season, which led the team and was fourth overall in the conference.&nbsp;

Awoleye joins the Supernovas as an undrafted free agent from Minnesota. The 6-foot-2 Marietta, Georgia native was one of the premier blockers in the Big Ten in her two seasons with the Golden Gophers. She posted 114 kills on a .281 clip, but Awoleye excelled at the net with 173 total blocks to lead the team and rank second in the Big Ten. That was an improvement from her first season in Minnesota when she put up 141 blocks.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Awoleye joined the Golden Gophers from Loyola Marymount where she was an All-West Coast Conference First Team selection after posting 2.13 kills and 1.39 blocks per set in helping LMU to the NCAA Tournament. She spent her first two college seasons in her home state of Georgia playing for the Bulldogs, making the All-SEC Freshman Team in 2020 followed by 2021 where she appeared and started in all 29 matches.&nbsp;&nbsp;

All four players will join the Supernovas in Omaha, where they are in the middle of Training Camp to prepare for the 2025 season. The Supernovas kick off their title-defending campaign on Friday, January 10 by hosting the Atlanta Vibe at the CHI Health Center for Banner Night.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The four-year starting setter helped her team reach the Regional Final for the second time in school history in 2024, falling just short to the eventual national champions Penn State in five sets. Wait became the first-ever Bluejay volleyball player to be named a four-time All-American after being selected to the AVCA All-America First Team. She was named to the third team in 2023, plus her two honorable mention honors in 2021 and 2022. The Kansas native won back-to-back BIG EAST Player and Setter of the Year awards while being a four-time All-BIG EAST nominee.&nbsp;&nbsp;The most impressive part of Wait’s game is her all-around ability. She finished her college career with 4,945 assists (10.75 A/S), 1,454 digs (3.16 D/S), 784 points, 507 kills (1.10 K/S) on a .362 hitting percentage, 360 total blocks and 85 aces.&nbsp;&nbsp;“I am excited to have officially signed with the Supernovas! I’m grateful to have the opportunity to stay in Omaha and be surrounded by the community that has supported me for the past 4 years,” Wait said.&nbsp;“Omaha fans are truly one of a kind. I can’t wait to get in the gym with all the amazing players, coaches, and staff who make this organization so special.”&nbsp;Krause wrapped up her four-year college career at Nebraska, helping the Cornhuskers to two national runners-up and three Final Fours. The 6-foot-4 attacker recorded 857 points, 2.36 kills per set, 185 blocks and 24 aces in 102 career matches played in Lincoln. The former No. 1 overall recruit makes a return to her hometown of Omaha with the Supernovas.&nbsp;&nbsp;“Signing with the Supernovas is nothing short of a dream come true,” Krause shared. “It is nothing short of a privilege to not only have the ability to play professional volleyball in the United States, but in my hometown in Nebraska.”&nbsp;After transferring from Iowa, Onabanjo formed into one of the best offensive middle blockers in the country during her last two college seasons at Kansas. She averaged 1.82 kills per set and 107 blocks in her junior season with the Jayhawks before a breakout season in her senior year.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Houston, Texas native was named an All-American for the first time in her career with an Honorable Mention honor after recording 2.58 kills per set on a staggering .409 hitting percentage – which was a top 15 mark in the country and second in the conference. Toyosi was also part of the All-Big 12 First Team thanks to 123 blocks on the season, which led the team and was fourth overall in the conference.&nbsp;Awoleye joins the Supernovas as an undrafted free agent from Minnesota. The 6-foot-2 Marietta, Georgia native was one of the premier blockers in the Big Ten in her two seasons with the Golden Gophers. She posted 114 kills on a .281 clip, but Awoleye excelled at the net with 173 total blocks to lead the team and rank second in the Big Ten. That was an improvement from her first season in Minnesota when she put up 141 blocks.&nbsp;&nbsp;Awoleye joined the Golden Gophers from Loyola Marymount where she was an All-West Coast Conference First Team selection after posting 2.13 kills and 1.39 blocks per set in helping LMU to the NCAA Tournament. She spent her first two college seasons in her home state of Georgia playing for the Bulldogs, making the All-SEC Freshman Team in 2020 followed by 2021 where she appeared and started in all 29 matches.&nbsp;&nbsp;All four players will join the Supernovas in Omaha, where they are in the middle of Training Camp to prepare for the 2025 season. The Supernovas kick off their title-defending campaign on Friday, January 10 by hosting the Atlanta Vibe at the CHI Health Center for Banner Night.&nbsp;&nbsp;For more information on each draft pick, visit the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://db9xbvgbb.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001y8asazn26Nnnnzl9g7rqavFkUhrdADZM1ejxyjXO6XE8FfYpyIcpOXcmaXbLtcVafeOTosrjPiLZgxdLYK8Xjjs5qIS7h9RndQvnCyM65tAJBKaTHOnLQkszwckW90Wa9OrODS4ksoFDZTm2BMKIYTWT4r8UGMSWGqnD_oGq_poJ4B-5uzQpNaBTaHo6QEMs&amp;c=RYxk3KZPo9cGZHEPp9zl55cV4x6rEt0bkY_e6Qt1bVF7yJAjntTUzg==&amp;ch=Kai8kLETZXG29bcN9sjVY507TRkTrL2bDXjzoSPH-1ZyhAgse_C23g==">Supernovas Draft Tracker.</a>&nbsp;With another star-loaded roster full of local talent and more opportunities to see the Supernovas, fans can buy the world’s hottest ticket in professional volleyball.

FRISCO, Texas, December 17, 2024&nbsp;–&nbsp;Student athletes from the Memphis Tigers and West Virginia Mountaineers football teams took a timeout from their bowl game preparations to pack lunches for K-12 students facing food insecurity in the Frisco, Texas area.

Nearly 50 college students from both teams competing in the Scooter’s Coffee Frisco Bowl joined representatives from Scooter’s Coffee and the Frisco Bowl to give back to the Frisco community. The teamwork was in support of Frisco Fastpacs, an area non-profit whose mission is to ensure that no child in Frisco has to endure hunger when school is not in session.

Each team hustled to pack Scooter’s Coffee reusable lunch bags with delicious and satisfying foods. Cheered on by team and Scooter’s Coffee mascots, the Tigers and Mountaineers collectively packed about 1,000 meals. In addition to donating the food items, Scooter’s Coffee generously donated reusable lunch bags that students can use for years to come.

“The partnership between Frisco Fastpacs and Scooter's Coffee has been nothing short of remarkable. Their team has provided numerous opportunities for collaboration to improve the lives of the food-insecure children we serve in Frisco ISD,” said Heather Canterbury, executive director of Frisco Fastpacs. “Having the title sponsor of your local bowl game lead the way in volunteer service is such a blessing to our community and a true testament to the superb culture at Scooter's Coffee.&nbsp;For this we couldn't be more thankful to be their partner during the bowl season and beyond.”

The Scooter’s Coffee Frisco Bowl will present a check to Frisco Fastpacs during the game on Tuesday, Dec. 17. Scooter’s Coffee will be matching the bowl game’s donation to Frisco Fastpacs through funding the purchase of food and lunchbags used in the packing event and through additional financial support.

Frisco Fastpacs serves more than 1,200 students weekly across all 77 Frisco ISD schools through pre-packed meal bags of non-perishable food. Parents of eligible children can register for the Frisco Fastpacs program at&nbsp;<a href="http://link.mediaoutreach.meltwater.com/ls/click?upn=u001.TZ663KbgBa-2FTTklgYFe0HIuGiKVi1Qa-2BN-2BEMHhVo7KVMHRiWkb7EZZ-2B0MR-2B690HoWYw2_zp2viNv8WmCDmvKbS8g-2FumCH-2BSIkHTUhcISA1gweg93LIwGEu7Eu0ohNOhpJ1nCtFwRbSsOR-2BccTRSiF15eQTyDA0EttF5IBJrGGJ2afHbUQmo3xzj2gJ5Y0-2FIk-2BSSVWtUPlWTOj4P0Dykye1lrGot-2BUzi0iRtAcQ6qDoO-2FL-2BWt2s44SkH-2BzUsDki39NI9n5RZegXZ2yp4WUc9-2BtCPj2EbqyvFAQMhv7HQK-2FK-2BX-2Fn2SfbjnSwGPvtU7LpqCiMB13MNsp-2BPKbKLlGIU-2B2EPkkN0PEHZCDBtKR3ASBuRT81EHrMVkhdI7rSDQceOz-2FvdMV-2BWQzIMm8iIgxwQQdPZrxU6dtZTKsEhZr-2B50zyUcrAUBVZhPqcXCsmWnJQ8DoqhwbIJPtwK3GzjTtSFK3sZkWSw-3D-3D" target="_blank">friscofastpacs.org</a>.

College Athletes Pack Lunches for Students in Need Ahead of Scooter’s Coffee® Frisco Bowl

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Zy Wright scored 24 points, tying his career-high set earlier this week, and the Eagles shot 49 percent from the field, but the UCCS Mountain Lions hit enough shots from beyond the arc to defeat the Eagles 84-79 Saturday in Colorado Springs. 

UCCS (6-4, 2-2 RMAC) fired from three-point range at any opportunity, making 12 of 35 attempts, including nine makes in the first half. The home team led by as many as 16 in the second half before CSC closed the game on a 5-0 run to cut the final margin to five points.

Chadron State (5-6, 2-2 RMAC) shot 49.2 percent from the field (32-65), 35.3 percent from three (6-17) and 60 percent from the line (9-15), snapping an eight-game streak where the Eagles were 72 percent or better from the stripe. 

Behind Wright, who shot 9-for-16 from the floor and added six rebounds, three assists and two steals in addition to his 24 points, the Eagles received double-figure scoring from Julio Phipps (16 points, 8-11 FG) and John Jenkins (11 points). Wright, Phipps, Jenkins and Darrius Miles all tied with a team-high six rebounds.

The Eagles did have a season-high 19 assists against only 10 turnovers, but were outshone in that category by the home team, who put up 24 assists against just seven giveaways. 

UCCS took an early 8-4 lead, but the Eagles went to John Jenkins for back-to-back baskets to tie the score. Wright tallied 11 of CSC's first 22 points in the first half, including a three-point play to bring the Eagles within two points at 24-22. 

The Mountain Lions used an 8-0 run to open up a 10-point lead, but the Eagles answered with a back-cut layup from Jaylen Davis and a three from Darrius Miles. The Eagles continued to go to Miles, with the Texas native hitting a layup and a jumper to make it a three-point game, 36-33, at the under-four media timeout. UCCS responded, outscoring Chadron State 13-5 over the final two-and-a-half minutes to lead 49-40 at halftime.

The home team picked up where they left off at the end of the first half, opening on a 7-0 run before a pair of Wright free throws. The Eagles responded with a 6-0 run on an inbounds alley-oop to Phipps, a jumper by Zach Smith and a Phipps hook shot before the Eagles forced a 10-second violation. 

The Mountain Lions used a 15-8 run, including two threes, to open up a double-digit second half lead. As the Eagles pushed into a full-court press in a bid to create turnovers, UCCS used its ball movement and spacing to create several transition baskets.

Trey Ballard hit back-to-back threes to trim the UCCS lead to eight at 80-72 with a minute left, but the Mountain Lions made enough free throws down the stretch to close out the game. Zy Wright scored five points in the final three seconds of the game thanks to a jump shot and a UCCS technical foul that allowed Wright to hit one of two foul shots then make a basket as time expired when the Eagles retained possession.

UCCS had five players finish in double figures, led by Gavin Carter's 16. William Becker had a 13-point, 11-rebound double-double.

The Eagles will return home this Monday, December 16 to play Central Christian (NAIA) in a nonconference game at 1 p.m. in the Chicoine Center.

Another big night from Wright helps CSC bite back at Mountain Lions Saturday

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Kylie Krise put up a career-high 25 points and Chadron State outscored UCCS in the second half, but a slow start proved too much for the Eagles to overcome as the Mountain Lions defeated the Eagles 82-66 Saturday afternoon in the Gallogly Events Center.

The Eagles (2-8, 1-3 RMAC) dropped their third straight RMAC game since winning their conference opener. UCCS improved to 5-4 overall and 3-1 in the RMAC with the win. 

Krise shot 6 of 9 from the field, 2 of 5 from deep and 11 of 14 from the free-throw line, spearheading an Eagles team effort that had 34 free throw attempts over the course of the game. She also led the team with seven rebounds. Her 25 points are two more than her previous season and career-high set in the RMAC opener against South Dakota Mines on December 5.

Megan Counts also had 15 points for the Eagles, more than doubling her previous season high of seven and three points off her career high of 18 and added four rebounds and two blocks. Liberty Line and Ashayla Powers scored seven points apiece and Kyra Tanabe had a team-high four assists.

The Eagles shot 40 percent from the field, 25 percent from three (5-20) and 74 percent from the line (25-34). UCCS finished the game 41 percent from the field, 34 percent from three (9-26) and 71 percent from the line (27-38), but the Eagles did a much better job in the second half as the Mountain Lions were over 50 percent from the field at halftime. 

UCCS hit six of their first eight field goal attempts, including three straight three-pointers, to build a 16-6 lead in the game's first four minutes. The Eagles went to Megan Counts for back-to-back layups, but another UCCS three made it 24-14 Mountain Lions after one quarter of play. 

The teams traded buckets for the first portion of the second quarter, but UCCS got to the line and continued to shoot well, making 54 percent of their field goal attempts and 6 of 8 free throw attempts. The Mountain Lions went on an 18-6 run before two CSC free throws made it 47-28 UCCS at the half. 

The third quarter saw the Eagles outscore UCCS 17-14, as CSC had seven different players score in the period. 

The fourth quarter began with a 10-3 run by the Eagles as Chadron State got to the line, making 5 of 6 free throws, outrebounded UCCS 6-1 and blocked two shots during that time frame, cutting the lead to single digits at 64-55. 

The Eagles took 14 free throws in the fourth quarter alone, hitting 12 to keep the game within 10 points. Kylie Krise forced a steal and hustled down the court for a fast-break layup to make it an eight-point lead, 74-66 with 45 seconds to play.

UCCS shot eight free throws in the final 39 seconds to put the game away at the line and push the lead back up to its final margin of 16 points. 

For UCCS, Maison White led the way with a 21-point, 11-rebound double-double. Three Mountain Lions finished in double figures. 

The Eagles are now off through Christmas break. They will take the court next against Colorado School of Mines on January 9 at 5 p.m. at home in the Chicoine Center.

PUEBLO, Colo. – Chadron State men's basketball rode a dominant first half and withstood a furious second-half rally to earn a 66-62 road win over the 7-1 CSU Pueblo ThunderWolves in Pueblo Thursday night. 

The Eagles (5-5, 2-1 RMAC) built up a 16-point halftime lead and stayed ahead the entire second half, although the ThunderWolves cut the lead to a basket on two separate occasions and missed a potential game-tying jumper with 10 seconds left. 

Senior guard Zy Wright scored an NCAA career-high 24 points and eight rebounds, shooting 6 of 12 from the field and a perfect 10 of 10 from the line, including the final two free throws to ice the game with seven seconds to play. 

Julio Phipps scored 17 points while Jalen Thomas had 10 points plus four steals for the Eagles, who committed just six turnovers over the game's 40 minutes. The Eagles shot 36 percent from the field and 90 percent from the line (18-20). 

Wright scored 11 of the team's first 17 points, including going 6-for-6 at the free throw line and hitting a deep three on a broken play as the shot clock wound down. 

Moments later, Julio Phipps recorded back-to-back layups off of steals, one of his own and another steal by Zach Smith, leading Pueblo to call timeout with CSC up 21-16. 

That was only the start of a 16-2 run to make it 33-18, with four more points apiece coming from Wright and Thomas during that scoring run.

During the Eagles' first half, they forced 10 CSU Pueblo turnovers while committing just one, had seven steals while Pueblo had zero and shot 42 percent from the floor compared to the hosts 27.6 percent while leading the ThunderWolves 38-22 at halftime.

CSU Pueblo began the second half on a 7-0 run before Treyson Neff put the Eagles on the board with a jumper. Pueblo hit a three, but the Eagles responded immediately with a three of their own from Wright and a transition pull-up jumper from Jalen Thomas to go back up by 13 at 45-32. 

The ThunderWolves continued to chip away at the lead, however, as Chadron State went without a field goal for over five minutes of game time. CSUP guard Brevin Walter went on a personal 5-0 run with two free throws and a transition three to cut Chadron State's lead to two points at 62-60, but the Eagles found Julio Phipps for a dunk at the other end. 

Rebounds loomed large down the stretch. When CSC missed a jumper with 44 seconds left, an offensive board by Phipps extended the play and allowed the Eagles to run more clock. Pueblo had a chance to tie with under 10 seconds left, but Walter's jump shot rattled off the rim and Zy Wright out-leaped post players to pull in the rebound and calmly hit two free throws to give the Eagles a four-point lead and see out the game. 

After defeating CSU Pueblo, who entered ranked No. 5 in the D2CSC regional rankings, the Eagles will move on to facing UCCS (5-4, 1-2 RMAC), who are ranked No. 10 in the same rankings. The Mountain Lions lost 95-89 in overtime to Black Hills State Thursday.
