This season’s Wyoming Cowgirl basketball squad wasted no time bringing a tough opponent to the Arena-Auditorium, which is exactly what they got in an upstart Colorado Buffaloes team that was in the Sweet Sixteen of the women’s NCAA tournament just last season.
While the Cowgirls battled hard in their season opener that proved to be a cage match between both teams, the Buffaloes second half effort proved to be too much for the Cowgirls despite having a six point lead at halftime.
“I think we put ourselves in position to go and win that game and we definitely came out ready,” senior point guard Emily Mellema said after the game.
