Second Half Scorers

Coming out of the locker room at halftime has been the boost the Cougars have needed this season, in both games the Cougars have scored the most points of the game in the third quarter and outscored their opponents in the third in both games this season. The Cougars have also scored more points in the second half this season in both games. Scoring 31 in the second half of the Colorado Mesa game and scoring 40 in the second half of the Fort Lewis game.  

Staying Flexible
 

Even though the season is still in its infancy the Cougars have experienced what COVID-19 can do to a season, with game number two of the year being postponed till a later date and home games being swapped with South Dakota Mines which means the Cougars will play one home and one away game this week.


Production from the Newcomers

The Cougars are getting wonderful production from some first year players, Mara Kemmer is cementing herself in the line-up, playing for 36 minutes and scoring nine points in her Cougars debut. 

Christen Curry highlights how deep the Cougars are at the guard position this season playing 14 minutes and scoring two points along with two rebounds in her first game with the Cougars.  


Head Coach – Corey Laster
The 2020-21 season will be Corey Laster's fifth at Colorado Christian.  

Laster has been a collegiate coach for the last 20 years, dating back to 2000 where he started his career at his alma mater, Taylor University (IN). Laster ran a successful program at Taylor from 2000-03 (51-31). After Taylor, Corey moved up to the NCAA DII level where he became an assistant coach for Saint Michaels (VT) from 2003-05. Laster was then able to take over his own program in the NCAA DIII level at Defiance (OH) from 2005-07.

From 2007-10 Corey Laster took the assistant coaching position at Bucknell in Lewisburg, PA, an NCAA DI program. Wanting to become a head coach once again, Laster claimed the University of Colorado Colorado Springs women's basketball program from 2010-14. Laster was a part of the RMAC for four years building a strong program for the Mountain Lions.

Ground Rules

In late November, the RMAC released information about the season structure and return-to-play guidelines for basketball. All teams will have a 22-game conference schedule (non-conference play being optional), and any game that is not played due to COVID-19 issues will be declared a "no contest." All student-athletes and team support staff must test negative within 72 hours of the game, and in the state of Colorado, everyone in the arena will wear a mask except for the 10 active players on the court. An RMAC champion will be declared if at least five teams complete 50 percent of their originally approved schedule (11 games). The champion and RMAC Tournament qualifiers will be determined by use of the NCAA Division II RPI system.
