DURANGO - The Fort Lewis Skyhawks made 17 3-pointers, the most allowed by a University of Colorado at Colorado Springs women's basketball team, to roll past the Mountain Lions 85-48 Saturday evening at Whalen Gymnasium.
The long ball barrage broke the previous record of 16, set by Montana State-Billings on Nov. 15, 2009.
Mary Rose Paiz, Abby Jackson, Erika Richards and Ashley Kuchar each made three 3-pointers and accounted for 14, 11, 11 and nine points respectively. Dana Schreibvogel led the No. 4-ranked Skyhawks with 17 points. Paiz had nine rebounds and Jackson six assists.
Fort Lewis' 17 made 3-pointers were seven more than any other team has made against UCCS this season. The Skyhawks had 32 3-point attempts for a 53.1 percent accuracy mark.
The Mountain Lions, meanwhile, made just 13 field goals of any sort in Saturday's game.
Danielle Brown led UCCS (7-15, 6-12 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference) with 13 points and 10 rebounds for her second double-double of the season. Her twin sister, Jessica Brown, had eight points and six rebounds.
