RANGELY, Colo. (February 25, 2020) – The Colorado Northwestern Community College women's basketball team may have not had the finish it wanted to the 2019-20 regular season but with the postseason beckoning this week, the Lady Spartans have a chance to renew their energy.
 
CNCC will open this weekend's Region 18 championships with a play-in game against Snow College, sitting as the No. 5 seed compared to Snow's No. 4 seed. Colorado Northwestern did not win a game in league play but the team still is looking forward to turning a page and resetting their season.
 
Lady Spartans coach Sherryl Klosterman said her team understands the challenges that are sitting in front of them with the postseason.
 
"Going into post season play, my team is feeling confident," she said. "We have improved each week of conference play."
 
CNCC played Snow in its final game of the season, falling 71-50. Snow downed Colorado Northwestern in all three of their games, earning double-digit wins in each game.
 
Klosterman said her team likes the matchup with Snow, in spite of their inconsistent play against CNCC this season.
 
"We are focused on pulling an upset and know we can do that with our opponent, Snow College," she said. "We played a strong game against Snow last Saturday and will build on that for this Thursday."
 
Colorado Northwestern and Snow will play at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday. The winner of the game advances to a 12:00 p.m. game with top-seeded Salt Lake Community College on Friday.
