The Wyoming Cowgirls locomotive just keeps on rolling down the tracks. The Cowgirls, who are now ranked #15 in the nation, are continuing to climb in the polls, as well as rolling through the Mountain West. The Cowgirls had an absolutely dominating victory over the UNLV Rebels this last week, beating them by more than 40 points. Justyna Podziemska continued pouring in the points for the Cowgirls, who is making a strong case for herself as MWC Player of the Year. The Cowgirls finished the week by beating border rival Colorado State, putting the Cowgirls in firm control of the MWC. This week, however, will not be as easy for the Cowgirls as they face the other top team in the Mountain West, Utah. The Utes are 16-3 on the season, undefeated in conference play. The last time these two teams got together it ended in an OT classic, as the Cowgirls edged the Utes by a point in Laramie.

 

The Wyoming Cowboys notched their first win of the MWC season by defeating the Colorado State Rams on Saturday. The Cowboys, who were led by Travis Nelson, melded together and put together a solid victory. The Cowboys have looked better as of late, but have yet to find their niche as a team. This weekend showed a lot of solidarity with the team, who seem to be coming together. The Cowboys, 1-5 in Mountain West play, look to continue their roll this week as they take on Utah on Wednesday and BYU on Saturday, which are fairly critical games for the Pokes if they want any shot at the post season.

 

In other Cowboy related news, the signing deadline is approaching quickly, as next week recruits will have to decide what school they will choose to enroll in. The Cowboys have put together a solid recruiting class so far, in what's being deemed around various message boards as Glenn's best class. The Cowboys have recieved a verbal from Ben Parks, a kicker from Argyle, TX who looks to fill the shoes of Billy Vinnedge. The Cowboys also have verbals from Tashaun Gipson, who is the brother of current Cowboy, Marcel. James Caraway, from Dallas, has also committed to the Pokes, he will play WR. These seem to be the highest profile of the Cowboy recruits thus far, but more details will be released next week after the official signing day.
