BOULDER – A spirited fourth-quarter comeback fell short on Friday night for the Colorado women's basketball team, enabling No. 11 Oregon State to escape the Coors Events Center with a 54-49 Pac-12 Conference win.
The Buffaloes (14-12 overall, 4-11 Pac-12) trimmed a 12-point second-quarter deficit to 48-47 but faltered down the stretch as the Beavers (24-3, 13-2) outscored them 6-2 in the final 1:17.
CU, beaten 81-57 by OSU last month in Corvallis, Ore., had one player in double figures – Kennedy Leonard with 18. Haley Smith added eight points and six rebounds.
