The Border War is up next for the Cowgirls. Colorado State is looking to fill Moby Arena and is aiming for the largest home crowd of the season and in CSU women’s basketball history, on Saturday.
CSU has dubbed it the “Pack Moby” game. Tickets are priced at $1. Looking at their history, two of the top three best-selling games in Fort Collins were against the Cowgirls. Tip Saturday is set for 2 p.m.
