DURANGO, Colo. – The Fort Lewis College women's basketball team brings its 4-0 record to Grand Junction this week for the Maverick Thanksgiving Classic, facing Sul Ross State and Simon Fraser University. The Skyhawks will face both teams for the first time in program history.

Last Time Out
It was another two-win week for Fort Lewis, starting with a 78-67 win over St. Edward's University on Tuesday at home. Fort Lewis shot 33.7 percent from the field in the contest compared to a 43.5 percent clip for St. Edward's but earned an advantage with 28 points off of turnovers. The Hilltoppers spent a lot of time at the free throw line, going 22-of-24 compared to an 18-of-26 mark for the Skyhawks.

Saturday featured a comeback win on the road for the blue and gold after gritting out a 62-61 result over Angelo State University. Fort Lewis outscored Angelo State 26-17 in the fourth quarter and grabbed the lead with just seven seconds to go off a three-pointer from Katie Lamb to secure the victory.

Lamb Named RMAC Offensive Player of the Week
After leading Fort Lewis to wins last week, sophomore Katie Lamb was named the RMAC Offensive Player of the Week—the first player to earn a player of the week honor since the 2022-23 season.

The sophomore guard enjoyed a season-high 18 points to begin the week, shooting 43.8 percent from the field in a home win over St. Edward's. Lamb added six steals and four rebounds in the win. She followed it up on Saturday with 14 points at a 41.7 percent clip against Angelo State.
