@MSUDenverWBB: Roadrunners Bounce Back for Another Victory

MSU Denver has won 10 of its last 11 games

DENVER – Every win counts the same.
 
And so while Friday's overtime win against a Colorado School of Mines team ranked as high as No. 9 in the country was monumental, then it stands to reason that so too was Saturday's 69-60 victory over Regis.
 
And after all, the Roadrunners had to overcome a 16-8 first-quarter deficit, and trailed 44-43 heading into the fourth before finishing off a team in the lower half of the league ladder.
 
"Give Regis a lot of credit," MSU Denver coach Tanya Haave said. "They were down three starters, but they battled.
 
"And I think we had an emotional letdown after last night, and we had to fight through it. We're going to have to do that as we go through the rest of the season."
 
MSU Denver (15-5 overall, 11-4 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference) won for the 10th time in 11 games behind 16 points from Allie Navarette, 14 from Kendra Parra and 12 points and seven rebounds by Mya Jones. Jones was one point and one rebound away from matching her career high in each category.
 
MSU Denver shot 72.7 percent from the field in the fourth quarter (8 of 11) and also hit 8 of 9 free throws.
 
"Down one going into the fourth quarter, I think some of our depth settled in," Haave said.
 
The Roadrunners led 59-56 with two minutes to play, but got six straight points from Navarette, including a three-point play with 55 seconds left and another free throw with 42 seconds to go, to create some separation.
 
"It's always a battle, no matter what the records are with these teams," Haave said. "That's just the way it is.
 
"A win is a win and we'll take it."
