• The win allowed the Vikings to improve to 20-8 on the year, recording the seventh 20-win season in school history and the first back-to-back 20-win campaigns since CSU won 20 in four straight seasons from 1984-85 to 1987-88.
• The Vikings also improved to 12-2 at home this season, tying the Wolstein Center record for wins in a season, which was originally set last year.
• The win was CSU's seventh straight this year, the most since CSU won a school-record 14 straight in 1992-93.
