Led by 17 points from McKynzie Fort, eighth-seeded San Diego State came away with a 62-44 victory over Wyoming in the first round of the Mountain West Conference tournament on Monday.
The Aztecs broke away in the fourth period, outscoring Wyoming 17-5.
“It was a close game going into that fourth quarter, and I thought our young ladies responded well to the numerous runs that they made,” head coach Stacie Terry said at her postgame press conference.
The Aztecs will move on to play Colorado State — the top team in the conference — on Tuesday.
