GUNNISON, Colo. – December 10, 2016 – Ande Lampert and Natalie Stilwell combined for nine blocks Saturday night to help the Fort Lewis College women's basketball team to a 56-39 win at Western State Colorado University at Paul Wright Gym in Gunnison, Colo.
 
With the win, the Skyhawks improve to 6-2 overall and 2-2 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.  WSCU drops to 2-6 overall and 1-3 in RMAC games.
 
The 39 points are the fewest points the Skyhawks have allowed since Jan. 12, 2013 vs. Western New Mexico (37 points).
