The Fresno State women’s basketball team moved up to a three-way tie for first place in the Mountain West (MW) Conference after beating the Boise State Broncos 67-64 on Saturday.
Even though Fresno State was leading by just one point, 63-62, Bulldogs’ guard Haley Cavinder took her time with the ball. She said she walked with a plan already in mind — shoot a 3. Part of her plan, she said, was to wait for the defender to ease up.
After receiving a pass back from guard Aly Gamez, she saw an opening when forward Maddi Utti set a screen on the right wing, forcing the Broncos to switch and leaving Broncos’ forward Abby Muse to guard Cavinder.
