LAST TIME OUT
 
The Snow College women's basketball team suffered a tough 65-59 defeat against the No. 7 College of Southern Idaho Thursday in Twin Falls.  
 
Snow College came into the matchup having had a nearly three-week hiatus since its last game.  The Badgers were originally scheduled to play a trio of opponents at the Lady Jets Holiday Classic in Americus, Georgia including No. 4 South Georgia Tech, No. 1 Eastern Florida, and Georgia Highlands, but those games were canceled.
 
Snow College was victorious in its most recent game against Colorado Northwestern Community College.  The Badgers defeated the Spartans 75-52 Dec. 16 in Ephraim.
 
It was a quick start for the Badgers that saw them jump out to a 12-5 lead in the first quarter.  They would eventually extend the lead out to as many as eight points before the Golden Eagles went on a massive run to take control.  CSI went on an extended 29-5 run that saw it take a 16-point lead.  The Golden Eagles would eventually take a 42-28 lead into the halftime break.
 
Snow College trailed by as many as 17 points in the third quarter but used a 10-0 run to get back within seven.  The Badgers outscored the Golden Eagles in the third quarter and went into the fourth quarter trailing 54-44.
 
The Badgers cut the lead to six points within the first two and a half minutes of the fourth quarter.  CSI extended the lead back to 12 points over the next few minutes and led 61-49 with five minutes to play.  Snow College's comeback attempt came up just short as it rallied to get within six points but eventually lost 65-59.
 
The Badgers outscored the Golden Eagles in the first, third and fourth quarters, but they were outscored 25-7 in the second quarter which proved to be their downfall.  Snow College shot a better field goal percentage and 3-point percentage than the Golden Eagles but turned the ball over 16 times to the Golden Eagles' 10.  
 
Samiana Suguturaga led the Badgers in scoring for the 10^th time this season while also recording her second double-double of the year finishing with 18 points and 10 rebounds.  Marika Collins was the other Badger in double figures with 10 points, five rebounds, and three assists.
