BOISE, Idaho – A strong second quarter propelled Colorado to a 71-48 win over Boise State, Sunday in ExtraMile Arena.
The Buffaloes (7-2) raced out to a 13-4 lead to start the game, but the Broncos (3-6) clawed its way behind back-to-back three-pointers from Mary Kay Naro and Allie Hueckman.
Leading 22-15, the Buffaloes held the Broncos to just 13.3 percent from the field in the second quarter. Boise State managed to score six points in the quarter as Colorado generated a 44-21 halftime lead.
The Broncos responded by shooting 54.5 percent from the field in the third quarter, outscoring the Buffaloes 15-12 in the period. Colorado sealed the game with an 11-2 run to start the fourth quarter.
Top Broncos
- Mya Hansen scored 11 points for the Broncos, shooting 4-of-8 from the field and 3-of-4 from beyond the arc.
- Mary Kay Naro filled the stat sheet, recording nine points, five rebounds and a team-high four assists.
- Elodie Lalotte finished with seven points and six rebounds. The junior forward also added two blocks and two steals defensively.
Quotables
"They are a good team. There's a reason they were in the Top 25 last year and went to the NCAA Tournament. We didn't handle their pressure very well. We have to figure out a way to get better." – head coach Gordy Presnell
Notables
- Abby Muse recorded her 100th career block during Sunday's game. The junior forward is one of four Broncos to reach 100 blocks in program history, and is the second fastest to record the feat, reaching the milestone in 61 games.
- Mya Hansen led the Broncos in scoring for the second consecutive game. After exploding for 31 points against BYU on Thursday, the freshman was the lone Bronco to score in double figures.
What's Next
Boise State will host Saint Mary's on Saturday, Dec. 10 at 2 p.m. at ExtraMile Arena.
