Steffen had a career-high 25 points in the game, along with seven rebounds, four assists and three steals. Freshman Jasmine Matthews also had season bests with 12 points and four three-point shots.

The Falcons led early with a layup from Alexis Rogers, but Colorado State took a nine point run after that. Midway through the first half, senior Jessica Slagle gained momentum for BG with a driving layup, but they still trailed the Rams 13-4.

After Miller took a timeout, the Falcons chipped away at the Ram's lead. Jillian Halfhill hit a three pointer that started an 8-0 run. Back on a roll, BG led the game into the locker rooms 32-25 at the half.

Back on the court, BG shut down every CSU attempt to regain the lead.

This win was a different win, as coach Miller returned to FortCollins. Miller was the associate head coach for the Rams for three years, before starting his career with the Falcons in 2001.
