COLORADO SPRINGS – December 5, 2014 – Solid shooting by University of Colorado Colorado Springs led the Mountain Lions to a 91-64 win over the Fort Lewis College Skyhawks Friday night at Gallogly Events Center.  The Skyhawks, playing their fourth road game of the season, move to 3-2 overall and 0-1 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.
 
"They shot really well," said Fort Lewis College head coach Jason Flores.  "We didn't rebound well enough and we didn't get them out of their offensive rhythm.  They have multiple shooters on the court and we didn't extend them defensively.  We need to play better one-on-one."
 
The Mountain Lions netted 32-of-63 field goals for 50.8 percent and 13-of-48 from long range (46.4 percent).  Conversely, the Skyhawks were held to a 34.5 field goal percentage (19-of-55), 27.3 percent from behind the arc (3-of-11) and 82.1 percent from the free throw line (23-of-28).
 
Fort Lewis was out-rebounded 42-33 and out-scored on second chance points, 14-4.
