It may not have been as smooth or as easy as the Colorado women's basketball team wanted it to be, but the Buffaloes were more than happy with the final result.
Five Buffs scored in double figures en route to a 92-81 season-opening victory against Loyola Marymount on Saturday at Coors Events Center.
"We're 1-0; that's the goal," head coach Linda Lappe said.
Leading the way to that goal was freshman Kennedy Leonard, who had team highs in points (18) and assists (eight). Lauren Huggins added 16 points, Jamee Swan had 14, Alexis Robinson 13 and Haley Smith 10.
