The University of Colorado Buffaloes women’s basketball team took down in-state rivals Colorado State by a final score of 59-40 on Wednesday evening at the CU Events Center.
The 50th all-time meeting between the two squads ended with a comfortable win for CU, which despite shooting just under 29 percent from the floor on the night, was able to get the job done.
The Buffs were led by sophomore guard/forward Mya Hollingshed, who led Colorado with 15 points; she was 5-of-9 from the floor and made three shots from downtown in the win.
Hollingshed was critical to the Buffs early in the game; CU’s cold night from the floor began early, as the Buffaloes’ first five shots — four of which were three-point attempts — all missed.
