GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. – The Colorado Mesa women's basketball team committed 30 turnovers and still found a way to secure a 60-38 win over the visiting Adams State Grizzlies on Saturday evening in Brownson Arena in Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference action.
 
The 30 turnovers are the most the Mavericks have committed since December 16, 2011 when they turned the ball over 31 times against No. 6 Fort Lewis. It is the most turnovers in Taylor Wagner's coaching tenure.

The Grizzlies final three points, and only field goal, of the quarter came with just four seconds remaining.
 
The Mavericks outrebounded the Grizzlies in the game 45-24 that led to a 10-5 advantage on second chance points.
 
Senior Sierra McNicol had a nice night as she recorded her first double-double of the season and the second of her career, first since January 25, 2019. McNicol had 12 points and 11 rebounds and was efficient making 5-of-8 from the field. On the defensive end, she had three steals.
