The Adams State College Grizzlies claimed a pair of RMAC road wins over the weekend, the first of conference play, at Colorado State-Pueblo and UC-Colorado Springs and are one of just three undefeated teams left in the RMAC at 5-0 overall. They also sit in a tie for first place in the RMAC standings at 2-0.
The Grizzlies have now won nine straight games dating back to last season, the longest active multiple-year streak in the conference, and lead the RMAC in three different statistical categories pacing the conference in steals (13.4 per game), turnover margin (+6.2) and field goal percentage defense (.366). The Grizzlies also have the top two individual thieves in the conference as Marqus Richards (Los Angeles, Calif.) and Jamiko Verner (Denver, Colo.) stand 1-2 in steals with 2.6 and 2.4 per game averages.
The Grizzlies, who last started 2-0 in RMAC play in 2005-06, will put their undefeated mark on the line this Saturday when they travel to Durango to face RMAC Preseason Favorite Fort Lewis, which is 5-1 overall and 1-1 in RMAC play after falling at Colorado State-Pueblo, 78-74 on Saturday. Tip-off in the Skyhawks' Whalen Gymnasium is slated for 8 p.m., following the women's 6 p.m. clash.
The Grizzlies have not defeated the Skyhawks on the road since Feb. 3, 2004 but did split the season series last year, a season that saw each team win at home.
