SAN DIEGO — Games like these can get a coach's blood pressure through the roof.
Every bit of progress the Colorado State women's basketball team made Wednesday night nearly came undone in one poor quarter. A 13-point halftime lead disappeared in the third and the Rams were forced to hold on before escaping with a 60-57 victory over San Diego State at Viejas Arena in San Diego.
The Aztecs opened the second half on a 21-8 run to take its first, and only, lead of the game at 41-40 with 8:52 remaining in the contest. However, while SDSU never held the advantage after that moment, it tied the game twice more and never fell behind by more than five, and were within one point with 12 second left.
