The Wyoming Cowgirls are continuing to roll through the basketball schedule this season by picking up three wins since returning from Christmas break. The first win came against San Francisco, in a close win vs. the Dons. The second win came at a very tough place to play, The Pit, at New Mexico where the Cowgirls came through with a 58-52 win against the hosting Lobos. The latest win came against TCU, where the Cowgirls thoroughly dominated the Horned Frogs, 62-45, running their record to 14-1, 2-0 in Mountain West play. The Cowgirls matchup this week with Air Force and San Diego State, hoping to raise their current ranking from #21. 

 

The Wyoming Cowboy basketball team suffered a couple of bad losses this week, dropping to New Mexico 99-92, in front of the home crowd after being up by 16 points at half time. The team felt they were the better team on the floor, but their performance didn't suggest otherwise by letting a big lead slip away. Coach Heath Schroyer benched Brad Jones after getting a technical foul, a move suggesting that the street ball ways of Steve McClain are gone and there will be some discipline on this basketball team. The Cowboys dropped another game to TCU, 62-45, dropping the Cowboys to 6-8 on the season, and 0-2 in conference play.

 

The Wyoming Cowboy wrestlers competed in the Lone Star Duals this week, facing Eastern Michigan, New Mexico Highlands, Columbia, and Nebraska-Kearney. The Cowboys only win of the week was against New Mexico Highlands. Junior Eric Coxbill put on a show for the Lone Star State by going 4-0 in competition, including a pin and a major decision. Also having success for the Cowboys were Cole Dallaserra, going 2-0 and Carter Downing, also going 2-0. Cory VomBaur went 3-1 on the weekend. The young Cowboys are showing their meddle, and look to place a few wrestlers into the national tournament this year.

 

In recruiting news, the Cowboys have gotten a verbal from Mesa CC quarterback Dax Crum, upping the number of QBs on the roster to 5. Recruit linebacker Brad Marboe, from Idaho Falls, backed out of his verbal with the Cowboys saying that he wanted to play at Idaho instead where his family members had great success in the 70's. Marboe wanted to stay closer to home and continue the family legacy of Idaho football. With about three weeks left in the recruiting the Cowboys are likely targeting defensive players to fill the rest of the available scholarships.
