Thursday night’s loss was the final game for Cowgirls Randi Richardson, Jade Kennedy, Hillary Carlson and Aubrey Vandiver. Carlson led the Cowgirls with a game-high 27 points and 11 rebounds. Vandiver kicked in 15 points while Kennedy and Richardson scored seven and two, respectively.
“The play of the two seniors from Wyoming really gave us the opportunities that we needed; we just came up a little short with the plays we needed when we fought back into it,” head coach Joe Legerski said.
The Cowgirls ended the first half down 39-28 and struggled to stop Colorado’s outside shooting giving up seven 3-pointers in the first half accounting for 50 percent of the Buffalos points in the first half. Colorado shot 55 percent from the field in the first half. Brittany Spears led all scorers with 19 points on 8-14 shooting in the first half.
