Denver, CO - The Westminster Griffins Women's Basketball team opened their conference season on Friday night with a hard-fought battle against MSU Denver. The Griffins showed early dominance, leading 13-4 at the end of the first quarter. However, a resilient second-quarter performance by the Roadrunners (16-6) shifted the momentum, and the teams went into halftime with a closely contested game.

The third quarter saw MSU-Denver winning the battle 14-8, putting them in a favorable position. Despite a late push in the fourth quarter by the Griffins, it wasn't enough to overcome the deficit, and the RoadRunners secured a 52-47 victory.

Key Performances:

• Teuila Nawashine: Led the team with 12 points and contributed seven rebounds.
• Za'kkria Robinson: Impressive performance with nine rebounds and nine points.
• Elizabeth Means: Made her presence felt with three blocks and added eight points.
