CSU Will Face The Crusaders At 8:05 p.m. EST On Thursday (Jan. 5)
The Vikings are counting on Kaila Montgomery to continue to produce off the bench this year. She increased her minutes last year, after working her way back from a knee injury suffered during her first season at CSU. Montgomery has worked hard to improve her game over the last few years and will be a key contributer when she is on the court as her versatility allows her to play around the basket as well as step out and hit the mid-range jumper.
