The Montana Western Bulldogs battled with the Lewis-Clark State College Warriors for most of the game until a barrage of threes from the Warriors put an end to any hopes of a Bulldog upset. Trailing by just four points with 14 minutes left in the game the Bulldogs had three opportunities to cut the lead to single digits but could not capitalize. The Warriors then hit three straight 3-pointers which was the start of a string of seven made shots from downtown over a six minute stretch. The run gave LC a 20 point lead and the Bulldogs struggled to get shots to fall late as the Warriors came away with the win.Â
