“My teammates finding me and pushing the ball in transition helps a lot, it’s hard to score in the half-court and so when you get easy looks, it helps get you going,” Blaser said. 

Up next the Roadrunners travel to take on Umpqua Community College on Wednesday, March 9. 1140 Umpqua College Rd, Roseburg. 

“It means a lot to the players. I’m really, really proud of them and we talked about our last time on the floor together and all the things that we’ve been through. I told them it was going to take a tremendous effort for everybody physically, mentally, and emotionally," Roadrunner Head Coach Everett Hartman said.
