Three solid games later, the team appears primed for a postseason run.<\/p>\n
Bears win in Ouray<\/p>\n
Matching up against Ouray on Feb. 7, the Bears put together a solid performance, besting the Trojans 47-37 in a key road win.<\/p>\n
Key to the Bears win was a third quarter that saw Dolores stretch a 20-16 halftime lead to a 37-25 lead entering the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n
Although a late run by Ouray cut the Bears lead to 10, the game was never in doubt as Dolores players celebrated.<\/p>\n
Bears best Telluride<\/p>\n
Carrying momentum into a Feb. 8 road matchup against Telluride, the Bears won for the second consecutive time, besting the Miners 48-34.<\/p>\n
Keying the win were solid games from Brianna Schwartz and Nicole Kibel, who scored 19 points and 15 points, respectively.<\/p>\n
Also vital in the Bears victory was the utilization of a full-court press, which forced several Telluride turnovers and led to easy buckets for Dolores.<\/p>\n
Bears fall to Dove Creek<\/p>\n
Facing a talented Dove Creek team on Feb. 11, the Bears gave the Bulldogs all they could handle before losing 49-34 on the road.<\/p>\n
Playing step for step with Dove Creek during a competitive first quarter, the Bears trailed 17-12 entering the second frame.<\/p>\n
A strong second quarter put the Bears behind 32-19 entering the half, and never managed to pull closer.<\/p>\n
Pacing the Bears was Schwartz, who cored a game-high 21 points.<\/p>\n
With their record at 7-9, the Bears will return to practice in preparation for a Feb. 14 road matchup versus Ridgway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
