BOISE, Idaho – Mallory McGwire scored a career-high 25 points and added 15 rebounds to lead Boise State to a 68-61 victory over Wyoming in Mountain West women's basketball, Monday.
McGwire made a career-high five 3-pointers in recording her third double-double of the season. It was also her 11th as a Bronco and the 14th in her collegiate career.
The Broncos (7-1, 4-1 MW) and Cowgirls (4-4, 2-3) were tied at 46 until Anna Ostlie hit a 3-pointer with 7:08 remaining in the game that started a 14-2 run.
Following Ostile's triple, Alexis Mark and Kimora Sykes each made a steal and a driving layup to put Boise State on top 53-46. McGwire knocked down a 3-pointer and Mark scored a pair of buckets to cap the run with 4:20 to play.
The Cowgirls whittled their deficit to 61-55 with 1:56 left, but Ostlie drained a trey with 1:37 left to bump the advantage back to nine. Mary Kay Naro was 4-for-6 at the line down the stretch to seal the win.
Marks finished with 12 points and three steals while Naro contributed six assists. The Broncos' bench scored 20 points, led by seven from Ostlie.
Boise State and Wyoming meet again at ExtraMile Arena, Wednesday at 2 p.m.
