LAS VEGAS — Safe to say, Sophie Tryggedsson was feeling it.
Colorado State women's basketball's young guard generally doesn't see a ton of the court on average for the Rams, averaging less than five points per game (4.8) while shooting just 29 percent from the field.
But Thursday defied averages and expectations for the sophomore, who led the Rams with a game-high 19 points in a 57-37 victory in the Mountain West opener at UNLV, the best scoring mark of her young career.
Tryggedsson went 8-for-12 from the field (66 percent) and logged 33 minutes for CSU, knocking down three from beyond the arc while pulling down six rebounds and dishing out a pair of assists.
