GREELEY, Colo. - Northern Colorado women's basketball continues their home stand on Saturday, Nov. 14, welcoming Sam Houston for a non-conference match up. The Bears look to build on their recent offensive success as they continue their two-game home stand.
LAST TIME OUT: Northern Colorado is coming off a dominant 123-30 victory over Northern New Mexico on Monday night. The Bears improved to 2-1 overall, putting together one of their strongest offensive performances of the young season.
Tatum West led the Bears with a career-high 24 points and 20 rebounds, recording a double-double. Heather Baymon added 17 points, while Da'Nae Jefferson and Ellie Magestro-Kennedy each contributed 16 points. Northern Colorado also showcased its depth, receiving 57 points from the bench while forcing 35 turnovers and recording 27 steals.
THE OPPONENT: Sam Houston makes the trip to Greeley with a 2-1 overall record. The Bearkats most recently earned a 114-31 victory over Jarvis Christian on Nov. 10. Sam Houston opened the season with a 111-59 win over McMurry before falling to Houston 78-50 in its first road contest.
SEASON OUTLOOK: Northern Colorado was selected third in both the Big Sky Conference coaches' and media preseason polls following last season's success. The Bears return a strong group of experienced players while welcoming several newcomers as they look to remain among the conference's top contenders in 2026-27.
ON DECK: The Bears will quickly return to action on Monday, Nov. 16, hosting UC Davis for a 6 p.m. match up at Bank of Colorado Arena. Monday's contest will also serve as Faculty and Staff Day.
