FORT COLLINS, Colo. – In a game that almost got snowed out due to heavy snowfall in the Fort Collins area, the University of the Incarnate Word women's basketball team fell to Colorado state 75-47, on Tuesday night in Moby Arena.
 
Cardinals outshot the Rams from the field 59-51, but it was the Rams' 14 threes that powered them to victory. It was most threes conceded by the Cardinals this season as they've only allowed an average of four per game prior to tonight.

The Cardinals took care of the ball not conceding any turnovers in the half, a season best. Colorado State however, held the lead 34-26 going into the break.
 
In an uncharacteristic turn of events for the Cardinals, following a solid first half, they allowed the Rams to go on a 7-0 run while holding the Cardinals to a seven-minute scoring drought.
 
UIW started the fourth quarter on an 8-0 run and put up 19 points in the fourth quarter. UIW outscored Colorado State 19-17 in the final frame but it was not enough as they ran out of time.
