It started out to be a positive game for the Pronghorns (15-10, 7-4), but the offense fell apart with ten minutes to go in the game, as Western Wyoming Community College (19-4, 8-4) came away with a 89-76 victory.

Gillette College was up at halftime, 47-46. With ten minutes to go in the game, the Pronghorns had a ten-point lead. That’s when things changed. As Head Coach Will Rider stated in an email, “[We were] up by ten with ten minutes to go and [the] bottom drops out on our offense.”


From that point on, the Lady Mustangs went from down by ten, to up by 13 at the end of the game. The Lady Mustangs were able to do this with their success from the free throw line in the second half, as they were 13 of 15 in the second stanza. Gillette College didn’t even have an opportunity to get to the free throw line in the second half.


The Pronghorns turned the ball over 26 times, ten more than Western Wyoming did. The Lady Mustangs also had 13 steals to Gillette’s eight.


Alex Ward led the Pronghorns on the scoreboard with 17 points. Shanna Halalilo of the Lady Mustangs had the game high of 24 points.


The loss ends the Gillette College’s 3-game win streak.


The Pronghorn women will look to rebound quickly, as they return home to take on Little Big Horn College Wednesday night at 5:30pm. Little Big Horn is at the bottom of Region IX. The Pronghorns defeated the Lady Rams, 88-46, on the road on Jan. 14th.
