FORT COLLINS, Colo. (Interstat) — The Colorado State Rams used a dominant second-half performance to remain undefeated, pulling away from the San Diego Toreros for a 71-44 victory in a non-conference women’s basketball game Monday night at Moby Arena.

The Rams improved to 4-0 on the season, while the Toreros fell to 1-4.

A competitive first half gave way to a decisive third quarter where Colorado State seized control. Leading 30-16 at halftime, the Rams exploded for 22 points in the third period, outscoring San Diego by seven to build an insurmountable 52-31 lead. The Toreros, who managed just four points in the entire second quarter, could not mount a comeback against the stifling Rams defense.

Lexus Bargesser led a balanced Colorado State attack with a game-high 18 points. McKenna Murphy added 12 points off the bench, and Hannah Ronsiek recorded a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds. The Rams shot efficiently from the field, making 27 of 52 attempts, including 11 of 24 from three-point range. They also capitalized on San Diego’s mistakes, scoring 26 points off 19 Torero turnovers.

San Diego’s offense struggled throughout the night, shooting just 14 for 51 from the floor. The team’s scoring was heavily reliant on Kylie Ray, who finished with 21 points and eight rebounds. No other Torero player scored more than six points. San Diego’s difficulties were compounded by their 19 turnovers and an inability to convert from deep, finishing 3 of 14 on three-point attempts.

Despite the loss, San Diego dominated the offensive glass, hauling in 14 offensive rebounds compared to just two for Colorado State. However, the Toreros could not translate those second chances into enough points to challenge the Rams’ consistent offensive output.

The game was played in front of an announced crowd of 1,580. Colorado State will look to continue its winning streak on the road Friday at Oregon State. San Diego returns home to host New Mexico State next Monday.
