CSU women’s hoops holds on for hard-fought win over BYU

The Colorado State women’s basketball team remained undefeated Saturday night (3-0) with a well-earned 61-55 victory over visiting Brigham Young (2-2) in what turned out to be a very physical contest down the stretch.

“That was just a really gutty, gritty win by our basketball team against a really good, mature team,” CSU head coach Ryun Williams said.
