Pack lays down in four-game loss to Adams

ALAMOSA, Colo. - The ThunderWolves saw an Adams State team run roughshod over them Tuesday night, falling in four games to the Grizzlies by mostly large margins, 19-30, 16-30, 30-23 and 15-30.

In each of the games that the Grizzlies won, they never trailed, establishing early leads and essentially putting the nail in the Pack's coffin just 15 to 20 points into each game.

In the game three win, the Pack's lone win on the night, rallies behind the service of Lindsey Wilson and Melissa Jones saw the Pack come back from a slim 17-16 disadvantage to go on a 14-6 run and postpone the Grizzlies' match win.

But overall, Pack coach Chris Jonson said, the ThunderWolves team that took the court Tuesday night was simply going through the motions.

"We simply didn't show up," Jonson said. "I don't know if we were tired or it's just now hitting us that our season is over, but we had a lack of effort tonight."

The flashes of brilliance in its game three win was just enough to frustrate CSU-Pueblo coaches and players, who saw the ability to win, but the inability to keep up a consistent game.

"It showed that we had it in us," Jonson said. "We played well and beat them soundly [in game three]. I just wish we could play that way all night."

The loss drops the Pack to 6-20 on the season. It was the ThunderWolves' eighth straight loss.
