"We picked a bad night to have a poor shooting performance," said Fort Lewis College associate head coach Bob Pietrack.  "Credit to Adams State; they played really well tonight.  Our transition defense was the story of the game. We just didn't transition defense well enough to win a big game on the road."
 
Redshirt-freshman Rasmus Bach scored a career high 20 points.  He was perfect in the first half after making all four field goal attempts and all four free throw attempts (1-for-1 three-point field goals).  He finished the game netting 7-of-12 field goals and 5-of-6 free throws.  Bach added one assist, two rebounds and a steal before fouling out. 
 
Alex Herrera tied for game high honors with 22 points.  He pulled down a career high 19 rebounds, 14 of which came on the defensive end of the court.  He also dished out an assist and blocked four shots.
