Colorado capped a third-place finish in the UAA Invitational at Kincaid Park in Anchorage, Alaska, on Sunday, led by sophomore Christina Rolandsen's third-place effort.

The Buffaloes finished with 544 points. Utah won its second-straight meet with 661 points, and Denver finished in second with 636.

For Rolandsen, it was her second straight podium finish and third overall on the season.

Sunday's racing was one marked by freezing temperatures, which hovered right around zero degrees, but with the wind chill, were between minus 8-11 degrees.

"It was a cold day, not a great day for us, but you know we had some bright parts with Christina skiing well and Jesse (Knori) I think given the conditions skied about as well as one would have expected for her under these conditions that can be really hard on her," head Nordic coach Bruce Cranmer said.
