The CSC women’s game was more dramatic, but heart-breaking for the Eagles. They scored 13 points in the final 94 seconds to overcome a 10-point deficit and tie the game at 71-71 with four seconds left, only to have Colorado Christian’s Maggie Phillips hit a long 3-pointer at the buzzer for the win.
CSC freshman Kyra Tanabe was the game’s leading scorer with 24 points and sophomore Shay Powers added 17. They combined to score 25 of the Eagles’ 31 points in the fourth quarter.
Colorado Christian was led by Nicole Bowlin’s 18 points.
Both Chadron State teams will be at home again Thursday night to play Western Colorado.
