NOTING THE GAME

Rams Protect The Rock: The Rams do a lot of good things, but one of their secrets to success is actually something they DON'T do: Turn the ball over. The Rams have led the nation in fewest turnovers per game each of the past four seasons, coughing it up just 8.7 times per game in 2024-25 which was the only mark below 10.5 in the country. Over the past decade of NCAA DI women's college basketball, only two programs have averaged less than nine turnovers a game across a season: Villanova (2014-15, 2015-16), and Colorado State (2022-23, 2024-25). Nothing new to begin 2025-26 as the Rams are averaging just 8.6 giveaways, good for third nationally. Dating back to last season, Colorado State has won the turnover battle in 20-consecutive games. This is the longest active streak in the country.
Spreading the Sugar: Colorado State has scored 70-or-more points in four of its five games this season, and is doing so with a balanced scoring attack. CSU has had at least four double-digit scorers in three of five games thus far, including five in a 73-34 win over Long Beach State. Last year the Rams had just 10 outings in which at least four players scored 10-or-more points.
Dynamic Duo: Colorado State fans fell in love with the thrilling pair of Illinois freshmen Brooke Carlson and Kloe Froebe last season, and for good reason. The self-proclaimed best friends became the third-highest freshmen scoring duo in program history, putting themselves in pretty elite company. The Illinoisans combined for 521 total points, trailing program legends Becky Hammon & Katie Cronin (947 points, 1995-96) and Ellen Nystrom & Elin Gustavsson (643 points, 2013-14). This year, the duo has started each of CSU's first five games with Froebe as the team's third leading scorer (9.4 ppg) while Carlson leads in assists (3.2 apg).
20-Or-More: Colorado State has been a model of consistency under head coach Ryun Williams as the Rams have won 20-or-more games in each of the past four seasons. Throughout Williams' 13 seasons at the helm of the program, CSU has won at least 20 games in nine of those years.
One Last Ride: The 2025-26 campaign marks the final in the Mountain West for Colorado State as the Rams announced they will be leaving the league to join the Pac-12 beginning in the summer of 2026. Colorado State was a founding member of the MW in 1999 and have won seven conference titles (tournament and regular season) since. The Rams are looking to establish themselves as the leaders of the Pac and have gone 11-1 against future conference foes since the start of the 2024-25 season.
Loyal Rams: In an age of college athletics where playing at multiple schools has become the norm, Marta Leimane and Hannah Ronsiek have shown that sometimes it's best to plant your roots and grow. The pair of fourth-year seniors have combined for 181 appearances and 106 starts over their four seasons in the Green and Gold, helping the Rams to three-consecutive 20-win campaigns. Entering their final season of eligibility, the duo are set on winning their first conference championship together.
Announcing Her Arrival: Lexus Bargesser transferred to Colorado State from Indiana over the summer and wasted no time introducing herself to Ram Country. The 5-foot-9 guard dropped a career-high 22 points in the season opener against Weber State and leads CSU in scoring with 17.2 points per game. The senior guard does it all on the floor for CSU as she is averaging 4.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.2 steals.
Sharp Shoota: Hannah Ronsiek thrives behind the 3-point line, having made 50-or-more triples in each of the last two seasons. Ronsiek's numbers reflect more than just volume, however, as she enters the season fourth in CSU history with a career 3-point percentage of .396 (126-318). After a cold start to the season, Ronsiek has found her form and knocked down three 3-pointers in each of the last three games, shooting 42.9% from deep in that stretch.
