The Cameron Aggies sees their losing streak continue, falling in heartbreaking fashion to the Western New Mexico Mustangs in the Aggie Gym, 70-66.
On Saturday, Cameron entered the game with high hopes of snapping a ten-game losing skid with Colt Savage and Jaden Okon returning from their brief absence against the Mustangs.
The game started with an Andre Washington steal and slam, which was a good omen for the rest of the first half, where the Aggies held the lead for the majority of the time, eventually seeing their lead swell to 12 points.
A scoreless drought in the second half that spanned over three minutes doomed the Aggies and allowed a massive Mustang swing that allowed them to jump out to a lead and win the game 70-66, handing CU their 11th straight loss at the halfway point in the season.
Caylen Goff-Brown put on a show for the Black-and-Gold with his dazzling distant shots just three steps beyond the line as Goff-Brown racked up four triples on his way to a team-high and game-high 23 points.
DeSean Munson continued his sensational first year at Cameron with nearly another double-double posting 13 points and eight rebounds with a pair of rejections on the defensive end and a rim-rattling slam.
Washington had two dunks on his way to 11 points and a team-high 10 rebounds, which ties him for the game-high with Mustangs forward Isaiah Lewis.
Cameron was dominated on the glass, losing the rebounding battle by ten, but committed five fewer turnovers than WNMU.
The CU offense labored down the stretch to finish with just 36 percent shooting from the floor and 22 percent from downtown.
The Aggies will hit the road in an attempt to rebound against UT-Permian Basin Falcons and Angelo State Rams next Thursday and Saturday.
