BHSU’s best stat-line of the night came from the free-throw line as they missed just two all night after going 12-of-14 (85.7%) as a team. The nation’s fifth-ranked team, the Colorado Mesa University Mavericks, were back at it versus the Yellow Jackets on Saturday night. While the Jackets improved in the second half to score 30 points to CMU’s 39, it was the play of the Mavericks’ Sharaya Selsor and Taylor Rock who combined for 42 points to help their team to win by a margin of 29 points. The Yellow Jackets shot almost 36-percent as a team as they hit 20-of-56 shots and for the second straight game, just three 3-point shots. The next game for the Yellow Jackets will be back at the Young Center Saturday night, December 14, versus Colorado Christian at 4 p.m. Chadron State College (0-6, 0-2 RMAC) Team Notes: The fifth-ranked Colorado Mesa University team had an 86-41 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference victory over Chadron State Friday at Brownson Arena.
