The Lambkins took  a  56-45 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Tigers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:2\"> Despite the  defeat, Fort Collins saw an underclassman step up: sophomore <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/co\/fort-collins\/fort-collins-lambkins\/athletes\/jace-garcia\/?careerid=osfq73mmk2o33\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Jace Garcia<\/a>  went 8-for-12  en route to 20  points and five  rebounds. Another player making a difference was <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/co\/fort-collins\/fort-collins-lambkins\/athletes\/grant-russo\/?careerid=ftpuk83ru74bb\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Grant Russo<\/a>, who  posted ten points.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:3\">Fort Collins has  traveled a rocky road recently, having  lost three of their last four contests. That&#8217;s put a noticeable dent in their 7-12 record  this season. As for Erie, their win  ended  a  three-game drought at home  and  bumped them up to 10-8.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:4\"> Looking ahead, Fort Collins will welcome Highlands Ranch  at 6:30  p.m.  on Tuesday. The Lambkins will be up against the Falcons&#8217; rather soft defense (which has allowed 63.63  points per  game), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance. As for Erie, they will head out on the road to  take on  Longmont  at 7:00  p.m.  on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Article generated by <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/infosentience.com\/\">infoSentience<\/a> based on data entered on MaxPreps<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fort Collins lost to Erie back in January of 2024 and unfortunately they wound up with the same&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":108171,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[136,138,137],"class_list":{"0":"post-108170","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-erie","8":"tag-erie","9":"tag-erie-headlines","10":"tag-erie-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108170","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=108170"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108170\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/108171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=108170"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=108170"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=108170"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
