BYU basketball: Cougars fall to Broncos in close conference opener

Despite four Cougars scoring in double figures for the third time this season, BYU women’s basketball fell to Santa Clara, 64-63, in its first game of West Coast Conference play on Thursday at the Leavey Center.

"We had too many turnovers in this game," BYU head coach Jeff Judkins said. "We didn't make the big plays when we needed to. Cassie (Broadhead) had a good game attacking the basket, and Shalae (Salmon) had a good game as a freshman."

The Cougars (6-6, 0-1) finished the contest shooting a season-best 60 percent from the 3-point line and 46.
