Struggling Spartans Face Badgers in Women’s Junior College Basketball Rematch

EPHRAIM, Utah (Interstat) — The Snow College Badgers look to complete a regular-season sweep and solidify their winning record when they host the Colorado Northwestern Community College Spartans in a women’s junior college basketball game on Saturday, Feb. 21, 2026.

The Badgers (14-11) defeated the Spartans (1-25) 75-55 in their first meeting on Feb. 7 in Rangely, Colorado. Snow also won the prior matchup 68-46 on Jan. 3 in Ephraim.

Snow enters the contest following a 73-66 home loss to Utah State Eastern on Feb. 12. In that game, Dalana Jakovljevic led the Badgers with 14 points and five rebounds. Jakovljevic was dominant in the last game against Colorado Northwestern, recording 15 points and 15 rebounds.

Colorado Northwestern seeks to end a 12-game losing streak, most recently a 73-48 home loss to North Idaho on Feb. 14. The Spartans’ lone win this season came on Nov. 22, 2025.

A key player for the Spartans is guard Taylor Jones, who is coming off a 17-point, six-rebound, six-assist performance against North Idaho. Jones scored a game-high 27 points in the loss to Snow earlier this month. She has averaged 16.8 points over her last six games.

For Snow, forward Dalana Jakovljevic will be a focal point after her double-double in the previous matchup. Sara Aoki (15 points vs. Utah State Eastern) and Lala Baldwin (13 points) provide additional scoring.

The Spartans have struggled offensively, failing to reach 50 points in eight of their last ten games and surrendering 100 or more points twice in that span. Snow has won three of its last five games.

Tipoff is set for Saturday at the Horne Activity Center. Snow’s next game is at North Idaho on Feb. 26. Colorado Northwestern travels to play Salt Lake Community College on Feb. 25.
