BSC Week 1 News and Notes

Northern Colorado rebounded well from Friday night's loss to Idaho State to take down Weber State today 66-53 despite being without the services of their lone senior and leading scorer Jaime Schroeder. Schroeder suffered a right knee injury 7 minutes into the ISU game and did not return. If Schroeder is done for the year, it would be a devastating blow to the Bears' chances in the conference.

For Northern Colorado, the win over Weber State was number 500 in program history.

In the second half of the MSU-UM rivalry game on Saturday, the Cats and the Griz shot a combined 67% from the field and 64% from the arc. The Grizzlies shot 63% for the game while MSU shot 45%.

The last three games in the 84-game Cat-Griz rivalry have featured the highest combined scores in the history of the rivlary. (2/8/08 MSU 91-UM 87--178 points, 1/3/09 UM 95-MSU 75--170 points, 3/15/08 UM 101-MSU 65--166 points) Defense anyone?

In the last 4 games versus MSU, Montana guard Sonya Rogers has hit 16 three-pointers. She shot 64% from the arc in those games.
