When the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Shootout pairings are released Saturday night, the Mesa State College women’s basketball team will find it will face Colorado State University-Pueblo for the third time in four weeks in the first round of the tournament next weekend.
The Mavericks (14-13, 12-7 RMAC) clinched the No. 4 seed with their victory over Western State on Thursday night. CSU-Pueblo (17-9, 11-7 RMAC) clinched the No. 5 seed with its victory over New Mexico Highlands on Friday night.
The ThunderWolves could finish with the same conference record as Mesa State, but the Mavericks hold the tiebreaker by virtue of winning the two regular season games.
Fort Lewis will be the No. 1 seed, Nebraska-Kearney is No. 2 and Metro State is No. 3.
