PUEBLO, Colo. - Colorado School of Mines senior guard Kristin Horkey (Fort Collins, Colo./Fort Collins) posted her second straight double-double with 16 points and a career and game-high 13 rebounds to lead the Orediggers to a 57-54 victory over Colorado State-Pueblo Thursday night in Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference action at Massari Arena.

The Orediggers (11-3, 6-1 RMAC) took a 57-54 lead with 20 seconds left on a layup from sophomore forward Angela Pearson (Arvada, Colo./Maranatha).
