CU women’s basketball open regular season with home win over NJIT Highlanders

The University Colorado women’s basketball team defeated the New Jersey Institute of Technology Highlanders 80-57 in the team’s season opener at the CU Events Center on Sunday.

“It was a game of up and downs, I didn’t think we played particularly well but there are a lot of good things that you can take from this ballgame,” said Colorado head coach JR Payne. “Early games are just that, they are early games, so there are things that are going to look good and things that we really need to improve on.”

Colorado started the game hot, jumping to a 10-3 lead just four minutes into the game.
