Dixie State extended its season-long winning streak to 12-straight games and remained tied for second place in the RMAC standings after posting an 87-55 victory over Colorado Christian Saturday night in the Burns Arena.

The Trailblazers' (17-18/15-6 RMAC) win, coupled with a Colorado-Colorado Springs (14-7 RMAC) loss at Black Hills State (79-76) on Saturday, gave DSU the inside track for the No. 2 seed in the upcoming RMAC tournament by virtue of its season-sweep of Regis (15-6 RMAC).

Dixie State started the night on fire as the Trailblazers hit their first five shots, including three 3-pointers, to bolt out to an early 13-7 lead. DSU then broke the game open with a 13-3 run to extend to a 26-10 cushion nine minutes in.

The Blazers pushed their lead to as many as 20 points before the Cougars (6-21/4-17 RMAC) caught fire, hitting 3-pointers on four-straight possessions as part of a 12-2 spurt that cut the DSU lead down to 10 at 35-25 with 5:45 to go until halftime.

Dixie State countered by outscoring the Cougars 14-5 the rest of the period to take a 49-30 lead into the locker room. Dixie State maintained complete control in the second half, leading by as many as 35 points before settling for the 32-point win.

Four Trailblazers scored in double figures, led by junior Cameron Chatwin with 15 points on 5-of-6 shooting with six rebounds off the bench. Freshman Josh Newbold posted career-highs of 12 points, five boards, two assists and two steals in 10 reserve minutes, as the DSU bench outscored the Cougar reserves by a 58-20 count.

Meanwhile Matt Conway poured in 12 points on 5-of-7 from the floor with six caroms and three assists, and Julien Ducree just missed his second double-double of the year with 11 points and nine rebounds. Dixie State outrebounded CCU by a school-record 58-32 count (+36), including a 20-3 clip on the offensive glass, which helped lead to a 29-0 DSU advantage in second-chance points.

The Trailblazers shot 32-of-69 (.464) from the field, 6-of-19 (.316) from 3-point country, and hit on 17-of-21 (.810) at the foul line.

Of the 61 Colorado Christian shot attempts on the night, 37 came from beyond the arc (11-of-37, .297), which helped Dixie State outscore the Cougars by a 48-14 count in the paint. CCU wound up shooting 20-of-61 (.328) from the floor on the night. Stefan Hackethal led the Cougars with 13 points.

Dixie State will close the 2018-19 regular season on Friday night, March 1, with a "Senior Night" showdown against in-state rival Westminster College in the Burns Arena at 7:30 p.m.
