Broncos Buck Cowgirls with Strong Fourth Quarter
1/19/2022 9:21:00 PM | Women's Basketball
BOISE, Idaho – Four student-athletes scored in double figures and Boise State posted a 70-59 come-from-behind win over visiting Wyoming, Wednesday night.
The Broncos (6-11, 2-4 Mountain West) scored 28 points in the fourth quarter and broke a 14-game losing streak when trailing at halftime. It was the fifth-straight win at home over the Cowgirls (6-8, 2-3).
"We've been in a lot of games that have come down to the final minute," Boise State Head Coach Gordy Presnell said. "We executed and hit free throws. Elodie (Lalotte) made some big buckets. Trista (Hull) was terrific. Dominique (Leonidas) had some huge steals. It was a total team effort."
Wyoming, the defending MW Tournament champion, led 48-42 after three quarters. A pair of free throws and a putback by Lalotte, who finished with 10 points and seven rebounds, cut the lead to 48-46 with 8:51 to play.
The teams traded scores with Leonidas nailing a jumper to make the score 54-52 in favor of the visitors with 6:46 remaining. The Brown transfer followed with the second of her three steals in the final period and converted a pair of free throws to tie the game at the 6:16 mark. Leonidas scored six points in the fourth quarter and finished with 13.
A basket by Hull with 5:34 left gave the Broncos a 56-54 lead, their first since the 5:53 mark of the second quarter. After Wyoming tied the game, Rachel Bowers scored two of her season-high 12 points to start a 14-3 run over the final 4:54.
A 3-point play by Hull 50 second later pushed the lead to five and it swelled to 65-59 on a basket by Lalotte with 1:35 left.
Mary Kay Naro finished with a team-high 14 points and sealed the victory by making 5 of 6 free throws in the last 1:05.
