PUEBLO, Colo. – The University of Colorado Colorado Springs and No. 10 Colorado State-Pueblo, will meet in a matchup in the two top teams in the RMAC and Steel & Silver points on the line tonight when the Mountain Lions (12-4, 9-1 RMAC) take on the ThunderWolves (16-0, 10-0 RMAC) at 5:30 p.m., in CSU-Pueblo's Massari Arena.

Tonight will be the only regular season meeting between the two teams, which puts additional emphasis on tonight's result.  The winner will have the tiebreaker in the postseason tournament seeding if the teams are tied at the end of the regular season, which will also likely put the winner on the short list to host the NCAA Division II South Central Region Tournament. The winner will also earn all four available points in the all-sport Steel & Silver Trophy. CSU-Pueblo has a 14-6 lead in the standings after the fall results.

CSU-Pueblo has won 13 straight home games since Feb. 20, 2016, and won an RMAC Tournament championship during that stretch.

The Mountain Lions are on a six-game winning streak since Dec. 16 after an 80-70 win last night against New Mexico Highlands.
