The Rams won their third straight game Jan. 30 and were rewarded Wednesday with a spot in the latest Division II South Central regional poll.

Defeating Eastern New Mexico 92-88 in Portales, the Rams were once again led by junior LaMarshall Corbett with a game-high 27 points.

Corbett sank 14-of-15 free throw attempts and continues to lead the conference from the charity stripe as well as in scoring.

Three Rams joined Corbett in double figures as seniors Derrick Webster chipped in 16, Johnny Barnes added 15 and Stavon Williams ended with 11.

The Rams return to action Saturday at the Junell Center/Stephens Arena with a non-conference showdown with Arlington Baptist.

Climbing their way back into the postseason hunt, the Rambelles fought back from a halftime deficit to pull out a 64-62 road win Jan. 30 in Portales.

Trailing Eastern New Mexico by nine at the half, the 'Belles rallied to tie the contest at 62 all with two second left in regulation.

Freshman Leah Lemaire and senior Camille Perkins would put the 'Belles on top from the free throw line, and a steal by sophomore Paige Weishun would ice the victory.

The Rambelles have a break until Feb. 10 when they host Texas A&M - Kingsville.
