HAYS, Kan. – The Fort Hays State women held Missouri Western without a field goal for over ten minutes in the first half, going on a 14-1 run to build a 14-point lead and beat the shorthanded Griffons 58-36 at Gross Coliseum.

The Griffons (10-8, 3-6 MIAA), who suited up seven and finished with six available players, were held to their lowest offensive output since they joined NCAA Division II in 1988 (previous low – 37 vs Michigan Tech, 11/20/09). The Griffons, who were held to 23-percent shooting, have lost five straight and seven of their last eight.
