If the Western Colorado Mountaineers fell to the University of Colorado Buffaloes but no fans were in attendance, did it really happen? Tipping off their coronavirus stricken 2020-21 season, the CU women’s basketball team did indeed defeat the Mountaineers, 77-50, Wednesday night at the CU Events Center.
With Colorado’s last contest coming back on March 5, the Buffs showed no rust against the Division II Mountaineers. Freshman guard Frida Formann impressed early with a three-point make to give the Buffs an early 10-4 lead. Head coach JR Payne wasn’t surprised when Formann finished with 13 points on the night.
