Bulldogs’ guard Zaon Collins (10) attempts to grab an offensive rebound, but Lopes guard Jaden Henley (10) and his 6-foot-7-inch stature is enough to reel in the loose ball. Despite being listed as a guard, Henley stands six inches taller than Collins. (Jazmin Alvarado/The Collegian)

Bulldogs’ center Wilson Jacques (16) reels in an offensive rebound while Henley and Wilhelm Breidenbach (32) attempt to knock the ball away. Even with the seven-foot center, the Bulldogs were outrebounded by the Lopes, 47-33; the Lopes grabbed 17 offensive rebounds, scoring 21 points off their second chances.

Going for an emphatic two-hand jam, Gory is clipped from the side by Lopes’ guard Caleb Shaw (11), leading to two technical free throws for a flagrant foul. Shaw had to be helped off the court by the athletic training staff and did not return to the game. (Jazmin Alvarado/The Collegian)

Bulldogs’ forward Jac Mani (11) spins on Henley as Efe Demirel (17) applies help on the weak side. (Jazmin Alvarado/The Collegian)

Gory cuts down the lane against Demirel and attempts to spark some offense for the Bulldogs. Demirel would record the first of his three blocks on the evening, all coming in a 3:42 stretch in the first half. (Jazmin Alvarado/The Collegian)

Bulldogs’ forward Hedda Koehne (25) goes up for a layup through contact from Colorado State Rams’ forward Lexi Deden (6). Koehne was awarded two free throws; she cashed in on one for her only point on the afternoon. (Jazmin Alvarado/The Collegian)

Bulldogs’ guard Emilia Long (11) looks to attack the middle against Rams’ guard Hannah Ronsiek (30) after Bulldogs’ guard Indiya Clarke (20) set a screen. Long finished with a team-high 17 points on 50% shooting from the field. (Jazmin Alvarado/The Collegian)

Clarke puts up a floater against Ronsiek as Koehne and Madelyn Bragg (0) fight for positioning for a potential rebound. (Jazmin Alvarado/The Collegian)

Bulldogs’ guard Danae Powell (3) attacks the lane against Marta Leimane (14) and looks to score. Powell and Long were the only ‘Dogs to reach double-digit points in the loss; no other Bulldog had more than seven points. (Jazmin Alvarado/The Collegian)

Powell points and communicates to her teammates to tell them what defensive scheme they will run against a high-powered Rams offense. The ‘Dogs were able to hold the Rams to just 20 points in the first half, but a third quarter that saw the Rams explode for 28 points was enough to sink a potential Bulldog upset.
