For the first quarter and a half of action, the University of Colorado women’s basketball team and Marquette University exchanged blows. Every time the Buffs scored a basket, the Golden Eagles answered with a basket of their own. It took until the end of the second quarter for the two teams to separate when a 9-0 scoring gave Colorado a 33-25 lead heading into halftime.
The Buffs wouldn’t surrender the lead the rest of the way as strong defensive play, and a pair of impressive performances by junior guard Jaylyn Sherrod and senior forward Mya Hollingshed carried Colorado (3-0) to a 69-53 win over Marquette (2-1) at the CU Events Center.
