ABOUT THE BUFFALOES: Colorado is 9-11 overall and in ninth
place in the Pac-12 at 2-7. The Buffaloes are just three games out
of sixth place and will play all four schools 1-to-3 games ahead of
them in the standings in the next three weeks. Colorado dropped its
third straight game, and eighth of its last 10, after falling to No. 11
(AP & USA Today) Arizona State 68-60 Friday night at the Coors
Events Center. The margin of those eight losses is just 8.9 points
per game. Last weekend was one of missed opportunities as the
Buffaloes dropped tightly contested road games at Washington (8582) and Washington State (73-68). Colorado had double-digit leads
in both contests, but fell short at the end.
Colorado is averaging 71.9 points per game on 43.5 percent shooting. The Buffaloes’ scoring has dipped slightly during Pac-12 play,
as is the norm with stiffer competition, but still checks in at a solid
69 points per game. CU has shot better during Pac-12 play, hitting
44.0 percent, including a Pac-12 best 40.2 percent from 3-point
range. Colorado registered its sixth 80-point game of the season
after putting up 82 at Washington, the most for the Buffaloes in a
conference road game since an 84-60 win at Nebraska on Feb.
26, 2002. Colorado’s 84 points against UCLA are the most against
a conference opponent since putting up a similar number against
Oregon on Feb. 10, 2013.
Defensively, Colorado has allowed 71.9 points per game on 38.1
percent from the field. Colorado is second in the Pac-12 in rebounding (43.2 rpg), defensive rebounds (29.7 drpg) and blocked shots (5.1
bpg) while ranking third in 3-point defense (.286), rebounding margin
(+5.8), 3-point percentage (.385) and free throw percentage (.731).
Junior forward Jamee Swan leads Colorado at 14.0 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game while hitting 50.2 percent from the
field. She recorded her team best fifth double-double of the season
,and seventh of her career, with 10 points, on 5-of-8 shooting, and
11 rebounds against Arizona State. Swan left Friday’s game early
with an ankle injury and is listed as day-to-day. She is coming off a
strong weekend averaging 25 points, 9 rebounds, 3 blocks and 3.5

over Oregon in Tucson on Jan. 25 for their first Pac-12 win. Arizona

TUCSON, Ariz. – Colorado erased a 20-point first half deficit to claim a 61-56 overtime Pac-12 Conference win over
Arizona Sunday at the McKale Center.
Jamee Swan banked in a short jumper just off the block with 0.9 seconds left in regulation to send the game to overtime. Ashley Wilson then scored seven of her 11 points in the extra session to help Colorado (15-12, 5-11) overcome
its largest deficit to win in program history from available records since 1982.
Arizona (5-22, 1-15) was able to build its lead with an impressive first half performance from the field. The Wildcats
hit 14 of their first 20 shots (70 percent) and built a 36-16 lead by the 4:14 mark.
Colorado came out in a zone defense to take away the paint, but Arizona caught fire quickly hitting five 3-pointers
in the first 15 minutes including two each from Candice Warthen and Carissa Crutchfield.
The Buffaloes issues were compounded by their own cold shooting and turnovers. Colorado shot just 29 percent in
the first half and committed 12 turnovers.
Colorado was able to whittle the lead down to 16, 39-23, at the break. Swan scored eight points in the final five
minutes and had actually cut the Arizona lead to 14 on a pair of free throws with 5 seconds left, but Warthen was able
to take the inbounds pass and went coast-to-coast, finishing off with a runner in the late at the halftime buzzer.
With momentum starting to nudge towards Colorado, the Buffaloes put together an epic defensive effort to get to
overtime.
CU outscored Arizona 26-10 in the second half, holding the Wildcats to two field goals, and 10 percent shooting
(2-of-20), both CU opponent lows for one half.
The Buffaloes immediately cut the lead to 39-27 on layups by Swan and Arielle Roberson. After a LaBrittney Jones
free throw, Colorado scored the next six, capped off by another Swan bucket as CU trailed 40-33 with 12:50 remaining.
Erica Barnes put in Arizona’s first bucket of the period on the next possession to put the lead back up to nine. But
the Buffaloes kept coming. Haley Smith scored four points during another 6-0 CU run and her two free throws with 8:55
left made it a one possession game at 42-39.
Barnes made a free throw and Crutchfield made Arizona’s second and final field goal of the half with 7:14 left to kick
the Wildcats’ lead back to six. Desiree Harris responded with her first career field goal on a nice layup in traffic. Swan
followed with a jumper after a stop and Roberson completed the comeback with a pair of free throws that tied the game
at 45-45 with 3:22 left in regulation. Roberson gave CU its first lead of the game on a layup with 1:52 remaining.
Jones hit four free throws that gave the Wildcats the lead back at 49-47 at the 1:07 mark. Arizona had a chance to
increase its lead but turned the ball over on two straight possessions opening the door for the Buffaloes.
Following an Arizona shot clock violation, the Buffs had the ball with 15 seconds remaining. After a CU timeout with
6 seconds left, Roberson had the ball at the top of the key and found Swan posted up on the left block. Swan hesitated
for a second, but turned around and banked in the equalizer off the top of the class from about eight feet out with :00.9
on the clock.
In overtime Roberson opened the scoring with a drive through the lane, but Jones answered at the other end. Wilson
then hit Colorado’s first 3-pointer of the game for a 54-51 advantage. On the following possession, Wilson picked off a
Crutchfield pass and took it the distance for a 56-51 CU lead.
The Buffaloes then held off Arizona at the free throw line. Lexy Kresl hit one and Jen Reese made two – her only
points of the game – to give CU a six-point lead. Kama Griffitts pulled Arizona back to within 59-56 on the Wildcats’ first
3-pointer since the first half with 8 seconds left in overtime. Wilson then iced the game for the Buffaloes with a pair of
free throws.
Swan finished with 18 points, seven rebounds and a career-high six steals. Roberson recorded her fifth doubledouble of the season with 13 points and 10 rebounds.
Niya Butts is in her seventh season as the head coach at Arizona
with a record of 87-120.
THE SERIES: This will be the 16th meeting between Colorado and
Arizona with the Buffaloes holding a 12-3 series lead. Colorado
has won nine straight over the Wildcats including all six meetings
as Pac-12 rivals. The Buffaloes swept last season’s series, winning
in Boulder, 68-47, on Jan. 24 and then needing overtime to pick up
the win in Tucson, 61-56, on Feb. 23.
Linda Lappe is 6-0 against Arizona as a head coach. Niya Butts is
0-6 against Colorado as a head coach.
CONNECTIONS: Colorado has two Arizona natives on its roster. Senior guard Lexy Kresl is from Paradise Valley, a suburb of Phoenix.
Junior forward Jamee Swan is from Marana which is near Tucson.
SMITH PERFECT FROM FREE THROW LINE: Sophomore Haley
Smith was a perfect 11-for-11 from the free throw line in the home
win over Utah. Both numbers represent career highs for Smith with
the 11 free throws made tying for the team season high along with
Jen Reese (11-of-13) and Lexy Kresl (11-of-16).
Smith’s 11-for-11 outing also ties for Colorado’s fourth best single
game performance for free throws made with out a miss. She had
a string of 20 straight free throws made end with her only attempt at
Washington State. Smith has made 21-of-23 in Pac-12 play (.913),
the league’s best mark during that span.
MOST FREE THROWS WITHOUT A MISS:
13-of-13, Gretchen DeWitte vs. Nebraska, Feb. 7, 1987
12-of-12, Jackie McFarland vs. Missouri, Mar. 5, 2008

11-of-11, Haley Smith vs. Utah, Jan. 14, 2015
11-of-11, Shelley Sheetz vs. Kansas, Feb. 12, 1992.
REESE’S TOP FIELD GOAL NIGHT: Senior forward Jen Reese
had a career night with 30 points against UCLA. She made 14-of19 from the field and the 14 field goals made tie for the third-best
single-game total in team history. Reese joins 10 others who have
had 14 field goals in a game, most recently by CU’s all-time leading
scorer Brittany Spears against California in the first round of the
2011 Postseason WNIT.
MOST FIELD GOALS IN ONE GAME:
17, Tracy Tripp at Oklahoma State, Feb. 4, 1987
15, Jean Raikes vs. Temple Junior College, Nov. 20, 1976
14, Jen Reese vs. UCLA, Jan. 11, 2015
14, 10 others, most recently Brittany Spears vs. Cal, Mar. 21, 2011
BACK TO THE BOARDS: Colorado has outrebounded, or been
even, with 16 of its 20 opponents this season by an average of 5.8
per game. The Buffaloes are second the Pac-12 in overall rebounds
(43.2 rpg) and defensive rebounds (29.7 drpg) and ranked sixth in
offensive boards (13.5 orpg).
Colorado has five games with 50 or more rebounds, including the
Long Beach State contest where the Buffaloes dominated the 49ers
50-26, the largest margin of the season and biggest since holding
a plus-25 margin against Arizona (51-26) on Jan. 20, 2013. All five
of Colorado’s 50-plus rebounding games came over an eight-game
span including a season-high 60 against San Jose State the program’s most since pulling down 60 against Marquette in the first
round of the 1994 NCAA Tournament.
Colorado sports two of the top nine rebounders in the Pac-12, and is
the only school with two in the top nine. Junior Jamee Swan is sixth

KRESL’S DISH: Lexy Kresl recorded the fourth triple-double in team
history by scoring 12 points, grabbing 11 rebounds and dishing out 11
assists in the double overtime win over Colorado State on Nov. 29.
Her triple-double was the team’s first since Chucky Jeffery recorded
the second of her two triple-doubles at Oklahoma State on Mar.
25, 2012 during the Postseason WNIT. Sandy Bean achieved the
program’s first triple-double against Utah State on Feb. 16, 1979.
For Kresl, both the rebounds and assists figures were career-highs.
It was actually her second “double” of the week. Kresl put together
her first career double-double in the win over Denver with 10 points
and 10 assists.
Nine of her assists in the Denver game came in the first 20 minutes,
tying a school record for assists in one half originally set by Whitney
Law against Cal State Fullerton on Nov. 18, 2005.
Counting Colorado’s prior three triple-doubles, Kresl’s points-assists
double-double was the 14th in team history and first since Jeffery’s
triple at OSU (12 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists).
WORKING OVERTIME: Colorado has played in four overtime
games, the most in one season in team history. As of January 27,
it’s tied for the second-most in NCAA Division I for the 2014-15 campaign (DePaul, Norfolk State, Purdue), trailing only Hofstra which
has played in five. The NCAA I record for overtimes in one season
is seven set by Wisconsin in 1998-99.
Colorado’s 77-72 overtime win over Utah moved the Buffaloes to 3-1
on the season with the extra session and above .500 all-time at 24-23.
2014-15 OVERTIME GAMES
Nov. 17 vs. Western Kentucky (68-68)

L, 78-79
W, 87-81
W, 97-89
W, 77-72
The Buffaloes had played three overtime games in one season on
four other occasions, most recently in 1995-96. Colorado played in
overtime in three of its first seven games marking the first time the
Buffaloes had played three during the nonconference schedule.
Overall it’s the 14 time Colorado has played multiple overtime games
in one season.
Colorado played back-to-back overtime games for the first time in
team history with the San Jose State and CSU contests. The Buffaloes had two overtimes in a three-game span in February 1988.
The double overtime game with CSU was just the sixth in team
history and first since an 84-77 setback to Iowa State on Jan. 13,
2008. Lexy Kresl set a school single game record by playing in 49
minutes against Colorado State. The Buffaloes are 3-3 overall in
double overtime games.
TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS: Colorado has a record of 53-33
since the beginning of the 2012-13 season. Of those 33 losses,
15 have been to ranked teams and 14 of those ranked higher than
Colorado at the time the game was played. The Buffaloes have won
50 of their last 68 games against unranked opponents.
The Buffaloes have been dominant in regular season nonconference
games under Linda Lappe. Colorado is 48-9 in that stretch since
the beginning of the 2010-11 season. The Buffaloes have won 41 of
their last 46 regular season nonconference contests. The Buffaloes
put together 33 straight nonconference wins from Dec. 30, 2010
through Dec. 12, 2013.
REESE’S PIECES: Senior forward Jen Reese is the 13th player in
team history to reach 1,000 points and 600 rebounds in a career.
She reached the 1,000-point milestone during her career-high
30-point effort against UCLA on Jan. 11 and is the 26th player to
reach that mark. She is currently 25th on CU’s career scoring list
with 1,056 points.

Reese reached 600 at Washington State and is currently 15th on
CU’s all-time list at 609. She is 20th in career field goals made with
421.
KRESL SOLID FROM ARC, LINE: Senior guard Lexy Kresl ranks
seventh in career 3-pointers made at 162 and is fifth in attempts with
511. She has made 18-of-32 over her last six outings.
She has made a 3-pointer in 83 of 113 career games and has 44
contests with two or more buckets from long range. Kresl hit five
at Washington, tying a season high and also marking her seventh
career game with five or more 3-pointers.
Kresl has also been one of Colorado’s most reliable free throw
shooters over the past three seasons. Her career percentage of 817
(165-of-202) would rank sixth on the Buffs’ all-time list (minimum of
100 attempts).
She hit 84.1 percent from the line in 2013-14 (69-of-82) ranking
third in the Pac-12 Conference. Her mark was also good for 19th
on Colorado’s single-season list.
Kresl is also closing in on the 1,000 point mark, entering Sunday’s
game with 961.
HUGGINS SHOOTS UP LIST: With 21 3-pointers over the last 16
games, sophomore Lauren Huggins has put herself among the
Buffaloes’ career leaders. She is currently 17th in career 3-pointers
made with 68 and 18th in attempts at 188.
SWAN’S SWATS: Junior forward Jamee Swan ranks second in the
Pac-12 in blocked shots at 2.1 per game. She has 24 blocked shots
over the last 10 games (2.4 bpg) a number that includes a trio of
career and team-season high five block efforts (Long Beach State,
USC and Washington State).
Swan has 105 career blocks ranking eighth on CU’s all-time list.
AGAINST RANKED TEAMS: Colorado is 0-3 against ranked teams
this season after dropping a 68-60 decision to No. 11/11 Arizona
State on Jan. 30. The Buffaloes have dropped their last 15 against
ranked opponents. Colorado is 62-157 all-time against ranked
opponents.
STRONG SCHEDULE: Colorado currently holds down the 25th
toughest schedule in the nation (through games of Jan. 27) as its
opponents have a combined record of 196-120 (.620). The Buffaloes are third in the Pac-12 trailing UCLA (2nd, .671) and Arizona
State (.637).
Taking into account the records of future opposition, Colorado jumps
to 19th as its cumulative opponent record is 247-145 (.630), trailing
only UCLA in the Pac-12 (2nd, .677).
Colorado opened a season with two teams that made the NCAA
Tournament the previous year (North Dakota & Western Kentucky)
for the first time since 2003-04 when the Buffaloes hosted Old Dominion and Notre Dame in the WBCA Classic. Only twice since then
had the Buffaloes even played one team in their first two coming off
a trip to the big dance, Loyola-Marymount in 2004-05 (Game 1) and
Vanderbilt in 2006-07 (Game 2).
Here’s a look at Colorado’s nonconference opponents through Jan.

WRAPPING UP THE WNIT: Colorado was 2-1 in the Preseason
WNIT advancing to the quarterfinals and picking up a consolation
round win. The Buffaloes competed in the season-opening event for
the third time and moved to 8-2 all-time in the tournament.
The Buffaloes won the championship in 1995 and also advanced to
the semifinals of the 2001 event.
Mississippi State defeated Western Kentucky 88-77 in the championship game. The 2014 Preseason WNIT featured five NCAA
Tournament teams from a year ago along with four Postseason
WNIT participants, including Colorado.
SBOROV GOOD WORKS: Senior guard Jasmine Sborov is one
of 93 Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) nominees
for the 2015 AllState WBCA Good Works Team.
This prestigious community service award recognizes a distinguished
group of student-athletes who have demonstrated a commitment to
enriching the lives of others and contributing to the greater good in
their communities.
From the 93 WBCA nominees distinguished voting panels will select
two 10-member teams comprised of five student-athletes from the
NCAA Division I level and five student-athletes from NCAA Divisions
II, III and the NAIA. The final roster of 20 award recipients will be
unveiled in February.
Sborov, a native of Round Rock, Texas, has been a vital part
of Colorado women’s basketball’s community service efforts
during her career and has participated in a wide variety of events.
During the Boulder floods of Sept. 2013, Sborov helped with
relief efforts around campus, including serving food to displaced
members of the community. It was part of a global effort in which
the Pac-12 Conference awarded the entire athletic department its
“Sportsmanship Award” for the 2013-14 academic season.
Many of her good works efforts have focused on the children of
the community. She has participated in National Girls and Women
In Sports Day and Healthy Kids Day a pair of separate events that
promote health and fitness to youth in the community. Last winter,
Sborov participated in a fitness activity with Imagine!’s Out and About
group. The mission of Imagine! is to create and offer innovative
supports to people of all ages with cognitive, developmental,
physical, and health related needs so they may live fulfilling lives
of independence and quality in their homes and communities. This
past summer she dove into the coaching arena, helping with a local
AAU girls basketball team.

2014-15 Opponents in Bold
HARRIS LEAVES TEAM: Sophomore guard Desiree Harris has left
the Colorado women’s basketball program citing personal reasons.
Harris, who did not appear in a game this year, played in 15 contests
as a freshman averaging just a little under five minutes per game.
She intends on remaining at the university as a student.
FOR OPENERS: Colorado improved to 36-5 (.878) in all-time season
openers and has won the last 15. The Buffaloes started the season
with a home game for the 28th time in 41 seasons. Colorado is an
outstanding 39-2 (.951) all-time in home openers and has never lost
its overall season opener when played at home (28-0).
RETURN TO ‘D’: Defense has been a staple to the Colorado
program under Linda Lappe and for the Buffaloes to be successful
in 2014-15, toughness on that side of the court will once again be
paramount.
Three of Colorado’s top four single-season field goal percentage
defense totals have come under Lappe’s direction. The 2012-13
NCAA Tournament team set the bar with a school-record effort at
.350. Last year’s squad came in with the third-best total at .369.
Colorado’s 2013-14 total ranked third on the Pac-12 leaderboard
and 34th in the nation.
Two of Colorado’s top 10 scoring defense totals have come under
Lappe’s reign including a school-best 54.5 ppg in 2012-13. Three of
CU’s top 10 rebounding margins have also come in that time frame,
including last year’s mark of plus-5.0, the eighth best in team history.
HOME AT THE CECC: Colorado is traditionally tough at home with
a 401-140 all-time record at the Coors Events Center (.742). The
Buffaloes have won 10 or more games in a season at the CEC in 25
of 36 years. The Buffaloes have enjoyed five undefeated seasons
(1980-83, 1992-94) at the CEC.
Colorado is 7-4 at the Coors Events Center in 2014-15 and has won
25 of its last 37 and 36 of its last 51 at home.
BUFFS SIGN QUARTET TO NLI’s: Monica Burich, Makenzie Ellis, Kennedy Leonard and Alexis Robinson have signed National
Letters of Intent to play basketball and continue their education at
the University of Colorado in 2015-16 head coach Linda Lappe announced on Wednesday, the first day of the NCAA’s early signing
period.
Burich, a 6-2 forward, is a strong three-sport athlete for Roseville
(Minn.) High School in the Twin Cities area. She averaged 15.5
points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks as a junior, helping Roseville to a 21-7 record. Burich was first team Class AAAA
All-State selection by the Minnesota Girls Basketball Coaches Association. A two-time all-conference selection, Burich has led the
Raiders in blocks and steals the last three years, and added rebounds
and assists to that resume as a junior.
Leonard, a 5-8 guard from Southlake, Texas, has led Carroll High
School to three straight district and regional championships. Leonard averaged 8.4 assists per game in 2013-14, leading Texas and
ranking ninth in the country. She was the 2014 District MVP, 2013
District Offensive MVP and the 2012 Newcomer of the Year. Leonard
has averaged 12 points, 7 assists, 6 rebounds and 3.5 steals over
her first three years.
Ellis, a 6-2 forward from Tulsa, Okla., averaged 12.2 points and 6.6
rebounds as a junior, guiding Booker T. Washington High School to
a 22-5 record. She earned honorable mention to the Tulsa World’s
All-State team – which spans all classifications – as the Hornets
fell just one game short of the 2014 state tournament. Ellis was the
lone sophomore starter on Booker T. Washington’s 2013 Class 6A
State Championship team and earned All-State Tournament honors.
Robinson, a 5-10 guard from Ashland, Ky., has led Ashland Blazer
High School to the last three Kentucky state tournaments, highlighted by a semifinals appearance in 2014. She is the only player
in the state to be named MVP of her district tournament the past
three years. Robinson is a two-time Area Player of the Year and a
member of the Lexington Herald Leader All-State team. She enters
her senior campaign already the Kittens’ all-time leader in steals
with 242 and on pace to challenge team marks for points, rebounds,
assists and blocks.
BUFFS ON TV: Colorado women’s basketball will be televised to
a regional or national audience at least 13 times during the regular
season, including 12 games on the Pac-12 Networks during league
play. This marks the third consecutive year the Buffaloes will have
double-digit regional or national television appearances.
Colorado made its television debut on ROOT Sports Rocky Mountain
on Nov. 25, defeating Denver 77-49. Colorado’s first eight Pac-12
games will be televised on the Pac-12 Networks as will five of the
Buffaloes’ nine home conference games. All remaining home games,
and conference road games, that aren’t televised will be scheduled
to be streamed live through Colorado’s Pac-12.com video portal. In
addition, CU’s game at Missouri on Friday, Dec. 12, aired on SEC
Network +, the SEC’s online video streaming option.
Entering this season, Colorado has tipped off on 127 national or
regional telecasts since the fall of 2001, and 28 since the advent of
the Pac-12 Networks in 2012.
BUFFS IN EXHIBITION: Colorado improved to a perfect 25-0 in
exhibition games with its 90-57 win over CSU-Pueblo on Nov. 8. The
Buffaloes have outscored their opponents by 32 points per game
(86.3 to 54.3) in those contests. The Buffaloes have played at least
one exhibition game in all but one year (2009) since 1997. CU’s
exhibition games have featured a mix of NCAA II schools, foreign
teams and traveling all-star teams. CU’s closest exhibition contest
came in 1997, a 77-72 win over Athletes in Action.
BUFFS PICKED 10TH: In what is expected to be one of the most
competitive league races in recent memory, Colorado was tabbed to
finish 10th in the 2014-15 Pac-12 Conference standings according
to the annual coaches preseason poll, announced at Pac-12 Media
Day on Oct. 21.
Stanford was voted the preseason favorite for the 15th straight
season, claiming 116 points and seven first place votes. California
was second with 111 overall and three first place votes. The other
two first place nods went to Oregon State, selected to finish third
overall with 105.
UCLA was fourth with 84 points followed by Washington (72), USC
(65), Arizona State (64), Washington State (56), Oregon (48), Colorado (31), Utah (28) and Arizona (12).
In the media’s preseason poll, Colorado was picked 11th, swapping
positions in that poll with Utah.
BUFFS TIP OFF SEASON WITH ANNUAL ONE-ON-ONE EVENT:
The One-On-One With Colorado Women’s Basketball event is a
program favorite. In its fourth year under head coach Linda Lappe,
this year’s event was held Oct. 28 with nearly 250 fans, faculty and
staff members in attendance.
The premise of the One-On-One event is to have each studentathlete pair up with a prominent female member of the university’s
faculty/staff, and get to know them outside of a classroom or office
setting. The pairs then introduce each other to fans in attendance
for the main program.
A diverse group of campus leaders joined for this event, ranging
from professors, to department heads, to CU Regents.
“This event is special for us; it lets our fans know exactly who we
are on and off the court,” said sophomore guard Lauren Huggins,
whose presenter was Dr. Susan Hendrickson, a senior instructor of
chemistry and one of Huggins’ former professors. “We also get to
meet and interact with influential women within the CU community
and through that we build relationships that will help us in the future.”
Student-athletes and their “presenters” first sat down at a team dinner to learn about each other. Following the dinner, the public event
began with a reception where players and presenters could greet
the fans in attendance. Former head coach Ceal Barry, who held a
similar event during her tenure, served as the event’s emcee and
brought each player and presenter to the stage.
“We always have such a blast hosting this event,” Lappe said. “It
shows a true commitment from both the faculty and staff on campus
and also from all of our fans in the community.”
Each student-athlete introduced their presenter, their role within the
university and what they learned about them, and vice versa.

After introductions, the presenter was then allowed to ask the player
any question, touching on a wide variety of topics, which always
prove to be very entertaining, as both student-athlete and presenter
let their own personalities shine.
ROBERSON TO MISS SEASON: Junior forward Arielle Roberson
will miss the 2014-15 women’s basketball season after tearing the
ACL in her left knee in a routine drill during individual workouts just
prior to the start of fall practice.
A two-time honorable mention All-Pac-12 selection, Roberson led
Colorado in scoring (12.0 ppg) and rebounding (8.3 rpg) while ranking
second in blocked shots (1.0 bpg) and third in field-goal percentage
as a sophomore in 2013-14.
Roberson ranked ninth in the Pac-12 in rebounding, and at times,
simply dominating in the paint for the Buffaloes. She had seven
double-doubles on the season and her 109 offensive rebounds were
the fourth-most by a Buffalo since the 1987-88 (when the stat was
first charted on a regular basis).
Roberson set a Colorado conference tournament game record with
17 rebounds in the 2014 Pac-12 Tournament quarterfinals against
Stanford; tying for the 11th best overall performance by a Buffalo. Her
464 career rebounds are the fourth best for a freshman-sophomore
combined in team history.
The 2013 Pac-12 Freshman of the Year, Roberson has scored 771
points through her first two seasons and already ranks 14th in career
double-doubles (10) and double-figure rebounding games (14) and
is 19th in all-time blocked shots (57).

BOULDER – Colorado overcame a sluggish start and with a strong second
half prevailed 68-59 over North Dakota in the first round of Preseason WNIT
Saturday at the Coors Events Center.
Senior forward Jen Reese scored a game-high 21 points and junior frontcourt mate Jamee Swan pitched in 16 as Colorado remained perfect all-time in
season openers at home (28-0).
The win sets up a quarterfinal game with Western Kentucky on Monday, Nov.
17, at 7 p.m. at the Coors Events Center. WKU coasted to a 93-57 home win over
Central Arkansas on Friday.
“It’s going to be a great win for us when the end of the season comes around
because they’re going to win a lot of games,” head coach Linda Lappe said. “You
can see why; they don’t’ back down. We’re happy to be moving on.”
Colorado entered the game knowing the key was to stop 6-5 senior post Emily Evers and as advertised, Evers posted her numbers, finishing with 21 points
and 18 rebounds, but the Buffaloes made her work. Evers nine field goals came
on 22 attempts.
North Dakota shot out to an 11-4 lead. With the Buffs keying in on Evers,
Leah Szabla took advantage by finding open driving lanes to score five of her 15
points in the early minutes.
But UND stalled, making just four of its first 21 shots, allowing Colorado to
steadily crawl back into the game.
Haley Smith scored four points during an 11-2 run that gave the Buffaloes
their first lead at 15-13. Colorado also had a boost from freshmen Brecca Thomas and Alina Hartmann playing in their first game. With Lexy Kresl and Jasmine
Sborov in early foul trouble with two each, Hartmann came in and scored five
points off the bench and Thomas played a steady 11 minutes, with a rebound,
assist and no turnovers.
With the help of the solid bench, the game stayed tight for the rest of the
half. Swan scored on a layup with just under a minute left for the eighth tie of the
period at 31-31. UND, answered with a conventional 3-point play by Evers to take
a 34-31 lead at the break.
Colorado went on an 8-1 run to start the second half which gave the Buffaloes a 39-35 lead. But Colorado went cold missing its next seven shots allowing
North Dakota to close to 45-43 with 13:44 left on a Bailey Strand layup.
At that point, needing plays on both ends, Colorado really put it together.
With UND continually pounding the ball at Evers, the Buffaloes started to win
the battle. Swan blocked an Evers layup attempt that quickly turned into Lauren
Huggins’ third 3-pointer at the 9:43 mark. That exchange jolted the momentum
to Colorado, embarking on a 13-2 run.
Reese accounted for four in a row followed by six straight from Swan who hit
a couple free throws to give CU its largest lead at 58-45 with 6:46 remaining.
The defending Big Sky Conference champs weren’t going to go away without
a fight. Szabla scored five straight as CU’s lead was quickly whittled down to six.
CU responded with a Swan layup to halt UND’s run.
Megan Lauck scored on a jumper but Thomas answered with her first career
3-pointer to push the lead back to nine at 63-54.
Following Thomas’ 3-pointer, the Buffs went scoreless for the next four minutes. Evers took advantage with two field goals and a free throw in the first half
of that span to trim CU’s lead to four.
Despite missing five straight shots in that time frame, Colorado was able
to get stops to avoid UND getting any closer. After a Colorado turnover with 30
seconds left, Swan made a great play to get in the UND passing lane to get a
steal.
Reese then iced the game on a 3-point play. She scored in traffic on a put
back of a free throw miss, was fouled herself and sank the free throw to put CU
up 66-59 with just 15 seconds left.

BOULDER – Free throws brought the Colorado women’s basketball team
back into its WNIT game Monday night against Western Kentucky but turnovers
took the Buffaloes out of it, allowing the Lady Toppers to escape the Coors Events
Center with a 79-78 overtime win.
Trailing by nine points midway through the second half, the Buffs roared back
by hitting 22 of 27 free throws in the final 12:46 and tied the score at 68-68 on one
of two foul shots by Jen Reese with 19.3 seconds to play.
But OT belonged to Western Kentucky, which turned CU’s 24 turnovers into
21 points and got a game-high 30 points from Chastity Gooch – the Conference
USA coaches’ preseason player of the year.
Reese scored a career-best 24 points, including 20 in the second half and
overtime. Her 11-of-13 performance from the foul line set career highs for both
attempts and makes. Meanwhile, teammate Lexy Kresl tied her career high with
20 points and hit four of seven 3-point attempts.
The Lady Toppers led 36-35 after a first half that couldn’t have been much
tighter. The first 20 minutes featured 13 lead changes and seven ties, with neither
team leading by more than four points.
That large lead was posted by the Buffs, who got 12 points from Kresl on her
perfect 3-point shooting (4-of-4). She opened the night’s scoring with a trey, and
didn’t cool off before intermission.
CU finished the half hitting five of its six 3-point attempts, with Haley Smith
hitting the other 3-ball and Jasmine Sborov responsible for the lone miss. Overall,
the Buffs shot 50 percent (11-of-22) from the field before the break.
Western Kentucky opened the second half just as it did the first, getting a trey
from the versatile Gooch and taking a 39-35 lead for its largest advantage of the
night to that point.
Gooch wasn’t done. She scored the Lady Toppers’ next five points, pushing
them in front 44-37 with a conventional 3-point play with 16:13 remaining.
Less than 2 minutes after Swan’s fourth, Smith went to the bench with her
fourth foul and Western Kentucky was beginning to pull away. Lappe shifted her
team into a 2-3 zone defense, which might have eased the Buffs’ foul problem but
not their turnovers.
And the Lady Toppers took advantage, surging to a nine-point lead (48-39)
and forcing the Buffs into catch-up mode. They took to it well, outscoring the Lady
Toppers 12-3 and tying the score at 53-53 on a pair of free throws by Reese with
8:33 to play.
Kresl completed CU’s comeback by hitting two free throws with 6:19 left, giving the Buffs their first lead (57-55) of the second half. It didn’t last long. After
Gooch hit the first of two free throws, Western Kentucky controlled the second
miss, allowing Kendall Noble to sink a short jumper and the Toppers to reclaim a
one-point advantage with just over 5 minutes remaining.
Having climbed back in, CU wasn’t going away. Four free throws by BeardFails and Reese pushed the Buffs back in front 62-61 at the 4:08 mark. They
managed a four-point lead (67-63) on another pair of foul shots by Beard-Fails,
but the Toppers tied the score at 67-67 on a free throw and a put-back by Gooch
of the second miss. Tashia Brown broke the tie (68-67) by hitting one of two free
throws.
CU controlled the rebound and Lappe called a timeout with 26.8 seconds
showing. The plan was to get Reese the ball – and it worked. Fouled with 19.3
seconds left, she hit one of two free throws to tie the score at 68-68.
Kresl gave the Buffs the OT lead, making one of two free throws, and Sborov
corralled Kresl’s miss and laid it back in. CU was up 71-68, but a Gooch free throw
and a Noble put-back drew another tie at 71-71.
Gooch took care of that with two free throws, giving the Toppers a 73-71 lead,
then hit a short baseline jumper to increase it to 75-71. Sborov made one of two
foul shots with 42.1 seconds left, pulling the Buffs to within 75-72.
Two Jones free throws put Western Kentucky up 77-75, but Reese answered
with a trey from the right corner, then a conventional 3-point play as CU closed to
within 79-78 with 20.7 seconds left.
The officials’ review of an out-of-bounds call gave the Buffs the ball with 19.5
seconds left, but Kresl missed a baseline drive and Noble was fouled with .3 seconds showing. She missed both free throws but they weren’t needed; CU was out
of time and luck.

BOULDER – Colorado used a balanced attack across the board to defeat
Arkansas State 80-69 in a Preseason WNIT consolation game Saturday night at
the Coors Events Center.
Sophomore Haley Smith scored a career-high 16 points to headline a Buffaloes effort that saw four players score in double-digits, four with at least seven
rebounds and five with multiple assists.
Junior forward Jamee Swan matched Smith’s 16 points while filling out the
box score nicely with eight rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals.
Not to be outdone, senior Jen Reese notched her second consecutive double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Lexy Kresl finished with 10 points
– all in the second half.
Colorado (2-1) has plenty to work on; 20 turnovers led to 25 Arkansas State
points and 33 attempts from the foul line for the Red Wolves are too much. But
the ball movement in the offense was there. The taller Buffaloes succeeded early
in dumping the ball to the post for some easy buckets. And when Arkansas State
(1-2) began to collapse on the blocks, Colorado’s posts found open players on
the outside.
Sophomore forward Zoe Beard-Fails started off Colorado’s campaign to
score on the blocks scoring seven early points to give CU an early 14-9 lead.
Arkansas State, led by Aundrea Gamble who finished with a game-high 30
points, stayed close by getting in the paint themselves. The Red Wolves, who
scored 22 first half points near the basket tied the game at 15-15 with a short
jumper by Gamble.
At times Colorado played the inside-out game extremely well, and that ability
to find the open player led to Buffs’ first big run of the game, an 11-0 sprint created by the teamwork the coaching staff had been preaching.
Zoe Correal scored her first career bucket on a put-back and Swan added
another to put Colorado up 19-15. Then, with Swan attacking the block again, she
swung it out to Lauren Huggins who drilled a 3-pointer for a 22-15 lead.
Reese and Smith added jumpers as CU put its lead to 11 at 26-15.
Arkansas State closed the gap to 10, but Swan again found the open player,
this time Jasmine Sborov with a 3-pointer and Colorado’s largest lead at 32-19.
Arkansas State, the preseason Sun Belt Conference favorite, countered, by
getting to the line and taking advantage of Colorado turnovers. Gamble scored
seven points during a 15-4 run at the end of the first half and Khadi BrownHaywood hit a 3-pointer at the halftime buzzer as CU’s lead dwindled to 36-34.
A turnover right out of halftime allowed the Red Wolves to tie the game, but
the Buffaloes never panicked. Smith scored two more open jumpers as Colorado
slowly, but surely put some space between them and the Red Wolves.
Smith made 7-of-9 from the field on her career night and also pulled down
eight rebounds.
Arkansas State stayed within two possessions for the first six minutes of the
second period, but Reese scored four points during a 6-0 run that pushed the
Buffs lead out to eight at 52-44.
Amanda Lawson scored four straight for the Red Wolves to cut the lead in
half. Following a pair of Swan free throws, Gamble converted a conventional
3-point play to pull ASU to within 55-52 with 10:26 remaining.
After Reese and ASU’s Jasmine Hunt traded a pair of points, the Buffaloes
did the one thing that has eluded them at times – finish strong.
Swan hit a pair of free throws that put Colorado up 59-54, then after another
Hunt free-throw, Swan connected again with Huggins who hit a 3-pointer in a
nearly carbon copy play from the first half.
Swan’s free throws and Huggins’ 3-pointer sparked a 14-3 run that put the
game away. The Buffaloes finished it off at the free throw line calmly hitting 17-of21 in the second half alone.

DENVER – Lexy Kresl was in a giving mood for the first 20 minutes of Tuesday night’s game. But in a crucial moment early in the second half, there was no
spreading the wealth, she would take control.
Kresl scored five straight points to stop a Denver run and in turn sent the Buffaloes rolling to a 77-49 win at Magness Arena Tuesday night on the DU campus.
Kresl recorded her first career double-double scoring 10 points and dishing
out a career-high 10 assists, nine of which came in the first half, tying a CU singlehalf record.
Colorado (3-1) used a 12-3 run late in the first half to open up a double-digit
lead. Kresl had five assists in a span of six baskets late in the period to build a
38-27 advantage at the break.
Junior forward Jamee Swan was one of the main benefactors, scoring 17 of
her season-high 23 points in the first 20 minutes.
“It took us a little while to figure out how to play with (Denver’s) changing
defenses,” Kresl said. “We were playing a motion offense against a zone, so once
we found those areas there were a lot of gaps and we had a lot of opportunities
to score.”
Denver (0-3) opened the second half on a 7-0 run. The Buffaloes missed
their first three shots and had a turnover, which allowed consecutive layups by
Alecia Espinoza and Paige Bradley. Denver’s Morgan Van Riper-Rose then hit a
3-pointer to cut the lead to 38-34
Scoreless in the first half, Kresl stopped the Pioneers’ run with a 3-pointer
from the baseline. Then, Kresl stayed in the backcourt, darted in front of Espinoza’s inbounds pass for a steal and laid the ball back up and in for a 43-34
Colorado lead.
“I knew we needed a spark so I just wanted to pick up the intensity,” Kresl
said. “After that (play) everyone else caught on with that same aggressiveness.”
That was just the beginning. Jen Reese scored the next basket for the Buffaloes and Haley Smith added her sixth and final field goal of the night to cap off
the 9-0 run and the Buffaloes rolled from there, outscoring the Pioneers 30-15 the
rest of the way.
“That was a huge five points for our team,” coach Linda Lappe said. “They
started to get some of that momentum and as soon as that happened, they were
deflated a little bit and that’s when we knew we needed to go on a run, and our
players did a really nice job capitalizing on that.”
Swan made 8-of-12 from the field and hit all seven free throw attempts. She
also grabbed seven rebounds, dished out three assists and had two blocks.
“Jamee was outstanding tonight,” Lappe said. “She played hard and was
disciplined. She played a lot tougher on both the offensive and defensive end.”
Smith finished with 12 points, hitting 6-of-8 from the field, with seven rebounds and two steals. Reese had 10 points, five rebounds and a pair of steals.
Colorado shot 48 percent from the field while holding Denver to just 28 percent. Despite some early troubles on the boards, the Buffaloes out rebounded the
Pioneers 47-37.
Bradley led Denver with 15 points.

BOULDER – Haley Smith scored a career-high 18 points as Colorado’s offense was firing on all cylinders in an 87-59 win over Missouri State in the first
round of the Omni Hotels Classic Friday evening at the Coors Events Center.
Senior Lexy Kresl added 17, hitting five 3-pointers as the Buffaloes (4-1) hit
80 points for the second time in three games.
Colorado moves on to face Colorado State in Saturday’s championship game
at 7:30 p.m. Colorado State (3-1) defeated TCU 76-62 in the tournament opener.
Missouri State (0-5) will face TCU (3-2) in Saturday’s consolation at 5 p.m.
“I really liked our effort tonight,” coach Linda Lappe said. “I thought we
played a complete game, both offensively and defensively. We had great production from our starters, had great production from our bench.”
The Smith-Kresl duo were simply on fire. Smith was 6-of-9 from the field, in
continuation of a three-game stretch where she’s made a whopping 73 percent
of her attempts (19-of-26). Kresl hit five of her first six 3-point attempts, settling in
for a solid 6-of-13 night from the field which included seven rebounds, four assists
and a pair of steals.
“My teammates are hitting me for open shots,” Smith said. “I don’t feel like I’m
having to create; I’m just hitting the ones that are open.”
It helps that Smith’s shot selection mirrors that of every practice this season,
and her teammates are taking notice, if the opposition has caught on yet.
“Haley deserves everything she’s getting,”Kresl said. “I see her shooting
every day in the gym. That shot that you see her hit 7-of-8 in the game; she hits
them in practice and shoots them every day.”
Colorado shot 43 percent and hit a season-high nine 3-pointers. The Buffaloes put up 50 points in the second half on 46 percent shooting, thanks to
momentum that actually began in the final minutes of the first period.
Smith and Kresl had eight points each as the Buffaloes built a 16-9 lead. But
MSU stayed close, and tied the game at 18-18 on a Kenzie Williams free throw.
Kresl’s third 3-pointer of the half and a Zoe Correal layup pushed CU’s lead
back to five, but the Lady Bears answered again, tying the score at 27-27 with
3:35 remaining.
For the second straight game Colorado made a strong run at the end of the
first half to seize momentum.
The Buffaloes started getting stops and were able to get the ball quickly down
the floor in transition. Colorado broke the tie with four straight free throws and
then after a MSU turnover, Jasmine Sborov drilled a 3-pointer from left baseline
to give Colorado a 34-27 advantage.
Free throws gave Colorado a 37-27 lead at halftime and the Buffaloes came
out of the locker room fast and furious. Colorado had three offensive rebounds
on the first possession, the final one ending in a Jamee Swan put back basket.
Then, Jen Reese had a great steal on the other end, which ended in a transition
layup by Swan off a nice no-look feed from Sborov that capped off a 14-0 run.
“That’s really big in any game, just ending the half with momentum,” Kresl
said. “The other team goes into the locker room kind of doubting themselves.”
Liza Fruendt stopped CU’s run with a 3-pointer to pull MSU back to 41-30, but
Colorado kept on rolling.
Kresl hit back-to-back 3-pointers and Lauren Huggins added her first of
three second half treys as Colorado led 50-32 with 15:06 remaining.
A 10-2 Missouri State run, aided by five points from Fruendt, closed Colorado’s lead to 12 at 56-44 with 8:16 remaining. But Colorado quickly ended that run
as Swan converted on a 3-point play, and scored on another fast break bucket,
off an alley-oop pass from Smith, that sparked a 20-1 run that gave CU a 76-46
lead to end the Lady Bears’ night.
Swan scored 14 points and had eight rebounds. Correal also had personalbest eight rebounds to tie Swan for the team lead. Colorado dominated the glass,
outrebounding Missouri State 53-36 and committed a season-low 10 turnovers.

BOULDER – Lexy Kresl had a triple-double, Jen Reese scored a career high
26 points and Lauren Huggins hit three 3-pointers in the two overtime periods as
the Colorado Buffaloes defeated in-state rival Colorado State, 87-81, to claim the
2014 Omni Hotels Classic Saturday night at the Coors Events Center.
Kresl earned MVP honors for the second time in her career, finishing the
game with 12 points and career-highs of 11 rebounds and 11 assists, needing every one of her career high 49 minutes to claim the program’s fourth triple-double.
Huggins was 4-of-7 from behind the arc, including two 3-pointers in the final
minute of overtime to force a second overtime, and another triple in the second
overtime that spurred a run that secured the game for the Buffs.
Reese’s career high 26 points came off an 8-of-14 shooting performance form
the field and 9-of-10 performance from the line.
Elin Gustavsson scored 22 straight points in the midst of a 24-9 run that
helped the Rams open up a 43-29 lead, just five minutes into the second half.
After switching defensive philosophies, Gustavsson only had three points the
remaining 25 minutes and the Buffs went on a 24-8 run of their own to take a 53-51
lead with 8:03 left. After Gustavsson hit her final field goal of the game, CSU led
51-47 but back-to-back 3s from Reese and Sborov gave the Buffs that 53-51 lead.
Sborov had two big lay-ups, Haley Smith hit a jumper and then Jamee Swan
had a huge offensive rebound and layup to give the Buffs their biggest lead to that
point at 61-57 with 4:26 remaining. Sborov was hustling for a rebound and was
called for her fourth foul, then her reaction garnered a technical foul, which gave
her personal foul No. 5 and her night was done prematurely at the 5:12 mark.
The Rams bounced back and went on a 7-1 run to take a 64-62 lead. Gritt
Ryder hit a 3-pointer with 2:06 remaining to tie the game at 62-62 and then after a
timeout, Ellen Nystrom drove the lane and hit a layup with 50 seconds left.
The Buffs tuned the ball over and then called a timeout with 38 seconds left.
After good full court pressure, the Rams Keyora Wharry caught a desperation
pass at half court and was immediately fouled with 29.8 seconds left. She missed
the front end of a one-and-one and then the Buffs called their final timeout with
24.9 remaining. Reese was fouled and hit two free throws to force overtime.
The Rams controlled most of the first overtime, opening up a five point lead
at 71-66 with 2:11 left after Ryder drove left through the lane and threw up a shot
that somehow went in. On the next CU possession, Reese was fouled and hit both
free throws to match her career high at 24 points with 1:53 left.
The Buffs stopped the Rams twice in the next possession extended by an
offensive rebound, and just before the shot clock ran out for a second time, Smith
came away with a scrappy rebound and kicked it to Kresl near half court.
The shot clock, having not reset, went off and Kresl seemed to pause momentarily before kicking the ball to Huggins on the left side. She wasted no time and
immediately launched a 23-footer that tied the game at 71-71.
On the defensive end, Huggins committed a good, hard foul going for a block,
not giving anything up easily. Nystrom hit both free throws for the Rams with
24.6 seconds left, now up 73-71. On the next possession, Reese missed a layup
and fouled Gustavsson going for the ball with just 11.4 seconds left. Gustavsson
missed the first, made the second to give the Rams a 74-71 lead.
The Buffs called timeout with 8.6 seconds left and assistant coach Jamie
Carey drew up the play for Huggins and after a solid screen from Swan, she found
herself open on the right side just in front of the CU bench and drained her second
triple in the final minute of overtime with just 1.7 seconds left to force double
overtime tied at 74-74.
Kresl, who at the end of regulation, had 10 rebounds but not yet double figures
in assists or points, had her 10th assist on that final triple from Huggins to enter
double overtime with a double-double in assists and rebounds.
The Buffs continued the momentum and immediately took control in the second overtime, after Reese gathered an offensive rebound and hit a layup to put
the Buffs up 76-74, Wharry immediately tied the game at 76-76 with both scores
coming less than 30 seconds into the period.
Huggins remained hot, hitting her third 3-pointer in less than two minutes of
game action to put the Buffs up for good at 79-76 with 3:47 left in the second OT.
On the Buffs next possession, Kresl put the nail in the coffin with a 3-pointer,
securing her triple-double and putting the Buffs up by six, 82-76 with 3:13 left.
The Rams would get no closer.

BOULDER – The Colorado Buffaloes starting front court of Jen Reese, Haley
Smith and Jamee Swan, combined for 67 of 97 points, and Lexy Kresl scored
the game’s final six from the free throw line as the Buffs defeated San Jose State
in overtime, 97-89, Friday morning at the Coors Events Center.
Swan (26 points, 11 rebounds) and Smith (24 points, 12 rebounds) both had
double-doubles and Reese just missed one (17 points, 9 rebounds).
The Buffs (6-1) jumped out to a quick 9-0 lead in the first four minutes of the
game, as the Spartans didn’t get on the scoreboard until Ta’Rea Cunnigan hit a
3-pointer at the 15:52 mark. Smith hit the game’s first shot and had two free throws
to end that 9-0 run.
After the Spartans Rachol West hit a jumper, was fouled and hit her free
throw, the Buffs lead was down to five at 11-6. Lauren Huggins, who hit all four of
her 3-pointers in the first half, knocked down her first triple and along with a Reese
jumper and two free throws from Swan, the Buffs lead grew to 18-9.
Zoe Beard-Fails had a nice post-to-post dish to Reese under the basket, and
then hit a lay-up of her own to push the Buffs lead to double figures at 22-11, after
which the game remained pretty even for most of the rest of the first half.
Huggins hit her second, third and fourth 3-pointers in a span of three minutes
on the game clock, each one alternating with a lay-up from Swan, as the Buffs
led 35-25 with 7:25 left in the first half. Huggins final 3-pointer was matched by a
3-pointer from Cunnigan to cut the Buffs lead to seven, but then Smith followed a
mid-range jumper with a 3-pointer in the span of 12 seconds to push the Buffs lead
back to 12 at 40-28.
After a pair of Swan layups and another jumper from Swan, the Buffs led
46-36 with 3:34 remaining in the half. The Spartans used a 10-4 run to cut the
Buffs lead to just four at the break, 50-46, powered by 3-poiners from Rebecca
Woodberry and Ali Bettencourt.
Woodberry then became a thorn in the Buffs side, as she scored eight straight
points to give the Spartans their first lead of the game at 58-56. That lead was
short-lived, as Jasmine Sborov hit a triple to put the Buffs back up 59-58.
The Spartans used a 6-0 run to take a five point lead, 64-59 and led 69-63
after a Bettencourt 3, the Buffs would claw their way back into the game on the
strength of Swan and Smith. Those two combined for 13 of the first 14 points in a
14-2 run as the Buffs turned their six point deficit into a six point advantage with
five minutes left in regulation. Swan hit three lay-ups and three free throws in the
run while Smith had a baseline jumper and nice reverse lay-up. Swan also took a
huge charge on the defensive end to keep the game tied 71-71 in the midst of that
run.
Woodberry then went back to work, hitting four straight free throws on backto-back possessions to cut the Buffs lead down to two at 77-75. Riana Byrd made
it a one-point game hitting 1-of-2 from the line before Brecca Thomas hit her only
shot of the game, a huge 3-pointer to put the Buffs up 80-76 with 3:34 left.
Reese then had a layup on the Buffs next possession and with a 82-76 lead
with less than three minutes left, the Buffs looked to be in good shape, but the
Spartans had one more run in them, outscoring the Buffs 9-3 down the stretch,
capped by a Cunnigan layup with just 3.0 seconds left, that tied the game at 85-85.
Woodberry continued to hurt the Buffs, knocking down two free throws and hitting
a 3-pointer with 1:54 left that made it a two point game.
San Jose State took the initial overtime lead after Byrd hit a layup to open the
period, but the Buffs then took control as Smith hit two jumpers and Swan another
to give the Buffs a 91-87 lead three-and-a-half minutes into the extra period.
Smith quickly tied the game at 87-87 less than a minute into overtime, then
Swan completed a great post move that started that the high post and included
a nifty spin move to put the Buffs up for the final time at 89-87. The Buffs then
bucked down on the defensive end and controlled the boards for the next three
possessions. After Lappe called a timeout with 1:42 left, the next play to Smith,
including a pump fake, she dribbled once, hit her shot to put CU up 91-87 with 1:34
left.
After Cunnigan hit two free throws at the 1:26 mark, Kresl went to work, first
drawing a foul and hitting two freebies at the 1:12 mark and then grabbing huge
defensive rebounds and being fouled immediately. Her third and fourth free throws
came with just 31 seconds left, making it 95-89, and her final two with just 16
seconds left, making the game 97-89.

IOWA CITY, Iowa – Despite a career afternoon from senior Jasmine Sborov,
Colorado endured its lowest offensive output of the season and struggled to make
key stops when they were needed as No. 22/19 Iowa defeated the Buffaloes 78-63
Sunday afternoon at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
Sborov led Colorado (6-2) with career-highs in points (17) and rebounds (12)
for her second career double-double.
“Defensively, we have to get tougher,” head coach Linda Lappe said. “We
can’t give up 78 points on the road and expect to win.”
The Buffaloes did some things well and showed they could play toe-to-toe with
the Hawkeyes. CU dominated on the boards by a count of 53-36; and 23 offensive
rebounds led to some extra possessions and trips to the foul line that kept the
Buffaloes close.
However, persistent foul trouble, and key lapses at the beginning of the first
half, and start of the second, allowed Iowa (7-2) to build a double-digit lead and
maintain that margin to stay unbeaten at home in 2014 (6-0).
Haley Smith, coming off a 24-point performance, looked to get on track early
once again hitting two of her first three shots as CU took a 6-4 lead. But she
picked up two fouls in six seconds just one minute later forcing the Buffaloes to go
to their bench early. She would be limited to eight points hitting just 4-of-12.
Melissa Dixon, who led Iowa with a game-high 23 points, hit her first of five
3-pointers to spark a 6-0 Hawkeyes run and a 10-6 lead.
Sborov, who crashed the boards hard from the beginning, answered with a
6-0 run of her own. First she got a rebound off her own free throw miss and eased
in for a layup to end Iowa’s run. Then the senior put the Buffaloes up 12-10 as she
took a handoff from Zoe Beard-Fails at the elbow and scored in traffic, converting
on a 3-point play.
The game pace picked up from there. After Iowa retook the lead, Colorado
briefly took it back when freshman Alina Hartmann hit a 3-pointer in transition.
The Hawkeyes responded with an almost identical shot of their own. Dixon’s second 3-pointer was followed by one from Ally Disterhoft which sparked a 10-2 run
that gave Iowa a 24-17 edge.
Colorado’s ability to get offensive rebounds extended possessions that allowed the Buffaloes to chisel away at the Hawkeyes. Beard-Fails converted a
3-point play to cut the lead to four. Sborov was then fouled on another offensive
rebound and hit two free throws to trim Iowa’s lead to 25-23.
After a Disterhoft basket and Iowa with the ball after a foul, Lexy Kresl stole
the ball from Claire Till and found Lauren Huggins for a transition 3-pointer that
cut the Iowa lead to 27-26 with 3:39 left.
Dixon’s third 3-pointer sparked an 8-2 run for Iowa to end the half. Iowa
point guard Samantha Logic, who had been held scoreless, secured an offensive
rebound and banked in a short jumper at the buzzer for a 35-28 Iowa lead.
Iowa kept rolling early in the second half. The Hawkeyes hit 4-of-7 out of the
gate and even had the ball bounce their way a few times. Disterhoft missed a free
throw but Whitney Jennings was able to get the rare offensive rebound and put it
in for a double-digit Iowa lead.
Smith scored her first basket since early in the second half to make it a 4738 game. The Buffaloes were able to force a Jennings miss, but during a mad
scramble for the rebound, Till corralled the ball from her knees and pitched out to
Dixon for her fourth 3-pointer as the lead quickly went back to double-digits.
“Give Iowa a lot of credit,” Lappe said. “I thought their spurt to end the first half
and at the beginning of the second half was the difference in the game.”
Jen Reese scored all 14 of her points in the second half. Even when it seemed
she was about to get going, scoring on Colorado’s first two second half possessions, she was hit with two quick fouls that gave her four total with nearly 18
minutes remaining.
Iowa built its lead to 15 at 59-44 with 8:39 left, but the Buffaloes put up a good
fight to end the game. Reese reentered and scored six straight for Colorado to cut
the Hawkeye lead to 61-52. But by this time, with nearly everyone in some sort of
foul trouble, Iowa attacked. Back-to-back layups by Dixon and Kali Peschel had
Iowa running back out to an 18-point advantage with 4:31 left.
To their credit, the Buffaloes never quit. Down 72-54, Colorado began to
press. The Buffaloes forced two turnovers helping a 9-0 run led by five straight
from Sborov. Iowa figured out the press and hit free throws for the final margin.

COLUMBIA, Mo. – Colorado’s cold second-half shooting allowed Missouri to
erase a 15-point second half deficit and edge out a 53-50 win over the Buffaloes
Friday night at Mizzou Arena.
Lexy Kresl led all players with 17 points, tying a season high with five 3-point
field goals. Jen Reese had a game-high 11 rebounds, but was limited to six points
on 3-of-9 shooting.
Colorado (6-3), which led 36-21 in the opening minute of the second half, shot
just 18 percent from that point forward, including a 7-minute, 24-second scoreless
span that allowed Missouri (7-2) to embark on a 19-4 run to even out the game at
40-40 with 10:06 remaining.
“We weren’t ready coming out of the half,” Colorado head coach Linda Lappe
said. “We came out and hit a 3-pointer and we needed to squash (Missouri’s
energy) right there, but we let them back in. We didn’t play inspired enough and
that’s not going to win you games on the road against the SEC.”
Despite the frigid shooting effort, Colorado still had its chances late.
The Buffaloes regrouped to take a 50-46 lead on a pair of Zoe Beard-Fails
free-throws, but Missouri responded with a Juanita Robinson 3-pointer at the 2:03
mark cut the CU lead to 50-49.
That proved to be the last field goal for either team. Missouri managed four
free throws on three different trips that provided the final margin. In that span
Colorado went 0-for-3 from the field and Reese missed the front end of a one-andone with 24 seconds left that could have tied the game.
Bree Fowler picked up the rebound on the Reese miss and was fouled with
8.3 seconds. She made 1-of-2, giving the Buffaloes one last chance. After Missouri knocked the ball out of bounds on the initial push, Kresl was able to heave a
contested 3-pointer at the buzzer that fell wide of the rim.
“(Missouri) came out stronger and ready to go,” Kresl said. “They had way
more energy and we noticed it immediately.”
Beard-Fails had eight points, three rebounds and a pair of steals.
The Buffaloes played arguably their best defensive half of the season in the
game’s first 20 minutes which allowed them to establish a double-digit lead.
After an initial onslaught of Missouri 3-pointers – five of the Tigers’ first six
field goals were from long range - Colorado clamped down on the home team’s
shooters.
Morgan Eye hit Missouri’s fifth 3-pointer in that early span for a 17-16 Tigers’
edge. On that play, away from the ball Lauren Huggins was called for a foul, allowing the Tigers another possession. They ended up with two, after an offensive
rebound, but the Buffaloes stood tall with a pair of stops and that was just the
beginning.
Beard-Fails gave Colorado the lead back with a bucket and Jasmine Sborov
hit a pair of free throws for a 20-17 lead.
Haley Smith continued the run, scoring easily after gathering in an offensive
board. Following a Bri Watts free throw, Jamee Swan stole the ball and went
coast-to-coast for a layup as the Buffs built a 28-19 advantage.
Huggins capped off the 17-4 run with a 3-pointer. She was the ninth Colorado
player to score in the first half alone as the Buffaloes led 31-19. Missouri was held
scoreless after Eye’s 3-pointer, for 6:19 until Bri Porter ended the drought with
under a minute left.
Kayla McDowell and Jordan Frericks led Missouri with 10 points each.

BOULDER – If Jen Reese was the starter, Jamee Swan was the closer –
and for Swan the role was unconventional. Out of the starting lineup for the first
time this season, Swan bounded off the bench to score 16 second-half points and
help push Colorado past Wyoming 76-71 on Sunday afternoon.
“Wyoming is always really tough...it’s always a great game,” said CU coach
Linda Lappe. “It was a great way to go into the holiday break.”
The Buffs and Swan saved most of their excitement and energy for the
game’s final 10 minutes. After Reese scored CU’s first 10 points and kept the
home team close at intermission – the Cowgirls led 42-41 – Swan helped reenergize the Buffs when they needed it most.
Trailing by eight points twice in the last 14:30, the Buffs launched a 10-1
run that took them from a 58-50 deficit to a 60-59 lead with 5:52 left. A couple of
hustle plays and back-to-back baskets by senior Jasmine Sborov and a short
banker by Alina Hartmann gave CU its first lead since 41-40.
Hartmann’s basket came off an acrobatic falling-out-of-bounds assist from
Swan, who also had four rebounds, one block and two steals. Up 60-59, the Buffs
built a 69-65 lead as Swan scored the next seven points. Then she put a ribbon
on the win with three of four free throws in the final 13 seconds.
In addition to Swan’s 16 points and Reese’s 15, CU got double-figure production from Sborov (11) and Haley Smith (10). Guard Marquelle Dent, one of four
Coloradans in Wyoming’s starting lineup, led the Cowgirls (5-5) with 24 points.
Kayla Woodward added 22, hitting five of her seven 3-point attempts, and Kaitlyn
Mileto contributed 11 points.
Both Reese, who finished 7-of-13 from the field, and Swan said the energy
created by CU’s bench factored significantly in the comeback. Reese pointed
specifically to Swan as being high-voltage: “When (she) comes in and takes that
charge and makes that face, screaming, I get excited and almost have a heart
attack...our energy on the bench was great all game and that really helped.”
The Buffs trailed 42-41 at halftime after Dent hit a layup and left CU with a
6-second final possession. The Buffs couldn’t convert and had to be satisfied with
their one-point deficit.
Neither team led by more than four points in the opening half, with CU managing a 12-8 lead on two of three free throws by Thomas with 13:52 before intermission. Reese finished the first half with a team-best 13 points, hitting six of nine
from the field as CU shot a season-high 57.7 percent (15-for-26).
Opening the second half with a 13-6 run, Wyoming extended its lead to a
game-high eight points, going ahead 55-47 on a put-back by Jordan Sibrel with
just over 13 minutes remaining.
At the half’s mid-way point, CU still trailed by eight and found itself trading
baskets – not a good way to catch up – until Reese and Swan hit back-to-back
jump shots to cut Wyoming’s lead to 59-54.
The Buffs were reenergized and rolling. Back-to-back jump shots by Sborov
and Hartman’s short banker completed CU’s 10-1 run. A one-point lead was exchanged until Swan scored on a smooth pivot move to send the Buffs up 64-62,
then collected a defensive rebound at the other end, then connected on two free
throws to put CU ahead 66-62 with 2:55 left.
A Woodward trey brought the Cowgirls to within 66-65, but Swan’s conventional three-point play with 1:40 remaining pushed the Buffs up 69-65. After Dent
cut it to 69-67, Sborov hit a pair of free throws to restore CU’s four-point advantage (71-67).
Smith and Sborov hit one free throw each in the final minute but Dent answered with field goals each time and brought Wyoming to within 73-71 with 30.5
seconds to play – and the Cowgirls had the ball.
Coming out of a time out, Dent missed a chance to tie and Swan was fouled
after snaring the rebound. She made three of four free throws in the final 13
seconds and the Buffs finally could relax.

BOULDER – Tis the season, but the Colorado women’s basketball team
might have taken this “better-to-give” thing a bit too far. CU gave, gave and gave
some more Tuesday night, offering up 22 points off of 25 turnovers to Long Beach
State, which was no doubt appreciative and left the Coors Events Center with a
62-56 win.
In spite of themselves and their ill-timed generosity, the Buffaloes (7-4) didn’t
go quietly. They cut a 13-point second-half deficit to two before faltering in the
final 5 minutes, allowing the 49ers (13-1) to win their 11th consecutive game.
“Give Long Beach State a lot of credit,” said CU coach Linda Lappe.
“They’re 13-1 for a reason...they’re tough and they make plays when they need
to. We turned the ball over way too many times; there were too many possessions when we didn’t even get a shot.”
CU got a double-double (15 points, 15 rebounds) from Jamee Swan and
a career-high 14 points from Zoe Beard-Fails, who also contributed eight rebounds as the Buffs won the board battle 50-26.
“We knew that we would have an advantage in the post,” Lappe said. “And
both Zoe and Jamee have been playing really well. I thought their energy, and
toughness were two things that they brought.”
Beard-Fails scored the Buffs’ first 6 points and 8 of their first 15. While she hit
four of her six shots during that span, her teammates could hit only 3 of 14 field
goal attempts. Swan added six first-half points, doing the majority of her scoring
after intermission.
With 12:09 left and trailing 45-32, the Buffs had committed 23 of their final
turnover total. Making matters (and the score) worse, they had hit only 2 of 10
from the field.
But CU settled down. A technical foul on Devin Hudson resulted in two free
throws from Jen Reese and launched a 14-3 run that pulled the Buffs to within
48-46 on another pair of Reese foul shots with 5:02 left. Reese hit seven of her
eight free throw attempts, but she was only 1-of-8 from the field.
During its comeback, CU stymied Long Beach with a 3-2 zone, resulting in
the 49ers shooting 2-for-12 from the field. But in the final 5 minutes, the Buffs
could creep no closer than two points. The 49ers increased their lead to as many
as nine points (61-52) and left Boulder with their 11th consecutive win.
Giving up 13 points off of 14 first-half turnovers, the Buffs sabotaged themselves time and again in trying to cope with the 49ers frequently changing defense. Still, CU trailed only by two points (28-26) at the break after leading for the
first 11:30.
The Buffs led by as many as five points (9-4) early, but Long Beach caught
up and passed the home team on a pair of 3-pointers by Hallie Meneses. Her first
trey tied the score at 15-15 and her second gave the 49ers their first lead of the
night at 18-15 with just over 8 minutes left before intermission.
From there, the Buffs managed only one more first-half lead, going up 19-18
on a put-back by Swan. The 49ers took advantage of six Buffs turnovers and
a 3:48 CU drought to go up 24-19. The Buffs eventually fell behind 28-22, but
closed the half with a 4-0 run and closed to within a basket at the half. The
teams’ 54 combined first-half points was the second-lowest of the season in a CU
contest, trailing the 51 in the Colorado State game.
Meanwhile, the 49ers’ leading scorer, Raven Benton (11.7 ppg), went to the
bench with two personal fouls at the 10:01 mark and remained seated for the rest
of the half. After starting the second half, Benton again went to the bench only 3
minutes in after hurting a knee on a breakaway layup attempt that she missed.
Once again, the 49ers didn’t suffer greatly with Benton temporarily sidelined.
They opened the second half with a 15-2 run and took the first of two 13-point
lead – 43-30. CU finally got a layup from Swan to stop a 12-0 Long Beach surge,
but by then the 49ers were in command and the Buffs were still struggling to
protect the ball.

STANFORD, Calif. – Nothing comes easy once conference play begins
and Colorado had the envious task of opening with the 15th ranked team in the
country on their home court, a place the Buffaloes have never won.
The final result still favored the home team, but Colorado proved to be a
worthy early opponent for the defending league champions and the Buffaloes
came away with plenty of reasons to feel good about moving forward.
Colorado completely erased an 11-point second half deficit, but a late 8-0
run gave Stanford enough of a cushion to hold on for a 62-55 Saturday night at
Maples Pavilion in the Pac-12 Conference opener for both teams.
Jamee Swan had her second consecutive double-double leading the Buffaloes with 12 points and a game-high 10 rebounds.
Colorado (7-5, 0-1) had several bright moments defensively. The Buffaloes
forced 16 turnovers, several coming on shot clock violations after 30 seconds of
intense defense. Colorado played even – and at times better than the Cardinal on the boards for most of the game, although Stanford would end up with a slight
overall edge (37-35).
But one thing the Buffaloes couldn’t stop was the backcourt combination of
Amber Orrange and Lili Thompson. The Cardinal duo combined for 43 of Stanford’s 62 points, hitting both the outside shot and getting into the paint as well.
Orrange had a game-high 26 points on 10-of-16 shooting with a pair of
3-pointers. Thompson had 17 points making 7-of-12.
Colorado set the tone defensively early as Stanford’s first two possessions
ended in a blocked shot and a shot clock violation as the Buffaloes held an
early 5-2 lead. Thompson got going for the Cardinal (9-4, 1-0) who scored seven
straight for a four point advantage.
Swan scored four in a row for the Buffaloes who tied the game at 11-11, but
she picked up her second foul less than 10 minutes in. Zoe Beard-Fails, making
her third start of the season also got into foul trouble, forcing the Buffaloes deep
into their frontcourt bench.
San Francisco native Zoe Correal, who had played just 10 minutes in the
previous four games, put in some key minutes. She scored all of her career-best
six points, during a seven minute stretch in the first half.
Correal’s minutes came at a time that halted Stanford’s biggest run. Orrange
had scored five points during a 9-0 run that gave the Cardinal a 30-19 lead.
Stanford was red hot early, but cooled off at the right time. The Cardinal
scored just two points in the final 4:17 and none after Thompson scored from
15-feet out with 3:31 left as Stanford’s lead was down to 32-25 at the break.
Shortly after Briana Roberson put Stanford back into a double-digit lead at
42-31 with a 3-pointer, the Buffaloes turned it up defensively.
Colorado forced seven Stanford turnovers held the Cardinal scoreless over a
4:44 stretch that put the Buffaloes back in the lead. Haley Smith and Swan scored
on back-to-back layups to start the run. Lexy Kresl would then score consecutive
baskets to bring CU to within two at 42-40.
The comeback was complete when freshman Brecca Thomas hit CU’s only
3-pointer of the game, with 10:14 left giving the Buffaloes a 43-42 lead.
But Stanford’s Bonnie Samuelson responded immediately with a 3-pointer
of her own to put the Cardinal back on top. Samuelson’s 3-pointer, her only make
on six tries, sparked an 8-0 run as the Cardinal retook the lead 50-43.
Swan pulled Colorado back to four at 51-47, but the Buffaloes missed their
next three shots and Stanford reclaimed a double-digit lead at 57-47.
Colorado clamped down for one final time. Leading scorer Jen Reese who
had been silent for most of the game scored six of her 10 points in the final
minutes with a long jumper bringing the Buffaloes to within four at 57-53 with just
over a minute remaining.
But the Buffaloes couldn’t draw any closer as Orrange scored her 10th
bucket of the game and also hit a free throw in the final seconds.

BERKELEY, Calif. – California’s inside game was too much to handle as the
Golden Bears defeated Colorado 75-59 in a Pac-12 Conference game Monday
evening at Haas Pavilion in Berkeley.
California scored 52 points inside the paint, mostly to the benefit of leading
scorer Rashanda Gray who had 17 points and 10 rebounds.
Jamee Swan led Colorado with 21 points and five rebounds. Jen Reese
pitched in 15 points on 6-of-12 shooting with eight rebounds.
The Golden Bears also took advantage of 23 Colorado turnovers, accounting
for 21 points.
Cal’s Brittany Boyd had 19 points, 14 rebounds, seven steals and six assists.
California continually pounded the ball inside to the 6-foot, 3-inch Gray, and
despite her low field goal numbers – she made just 4-of-12 from the field – it was
effective as she continually made it to the foul line, hitting 9-of-16.
When Colorado could get stops, they struggled to score. The Buffaloes shot
just 37 percent and fell victim to California’s ability to run off a defensive rebound,
resulting in 20 fast break points. Boyd controlled that tempo as she was just three
steals and four assists shy of a quadruple double.
“(Especially in the second half) they pounded it inside and we didn’t have an
answer,” CU coach Linda Lappe said. “We didn’t have an answer down low; we
didn’t have an answer for their layups in transition. We’ll regroup and get back
into it.”
California never trailed. After Reese hit her first two shots to tie the game at
4-4, Cal scored the next eight. Jasmine Sborov got aggressive for the Buffaloes,
darting to the rim on consecutive layups to slice the Bears lead in half.
Following a Boyd jumper, Reese connected on her third 3-pointer of the
season and Swan scored on a fast break bucket to pull the Buffaloes within one
(14-13), with 10:54 remaining.
California responded with three straight buckets in the paint and led 20-13.
The Buffaloes fought back to make it a 1-point game again as a 6-0 run ending
with a Haley Smith field goal made it a 20-19 game at the 7:36 mark.
While Swan and Reese accounted for most of Colorado’s points, Boyd was
able to get everyone involved. Penina Davidson drilled a 3-pointer, Gabby Green
and Justine Hartman added points as a 13-2 run late in the first allowed the Bears
a 10-point halftime lead (33-23).
“We did some good things in the first half,” Lappe said. “But it went down from
there. We have to be ready to play.”
Swan and Reese started the second half with layups and Brecca Thomas hit
a 3-pointer to cut the Cal lead to 37-30, four minutes in. But the Buffs missed their
next five shots which allowed Cal a 6-0 run over 2:13 to take a 43-30 advantage.
Gray made four straight free throws and Boyd scored on a runner in the lane
to put Cal up 49-35. Swan scored consecutive baskets on nice post moves to
bring the deficit to 10 one more time.
Mikayla Cowling scored four straight points and Boyd pitched in the next five
as Cal went on an 11-2 run to put the game out of reach.
“(Cal) made us turn over the ball more than we wanted to,” Reese said. “We
didn’t play together for a 40 minutes. We had spurts where we did, but spurts
where we didn’t and we can’t do that.”

BOULDER – If the Colorado women’s basketball team was counting on the
rigors of the road rattling Southern California, it didn’t happen. Leaving LA for the
first time in a month – or in eight games – the Trojans made themselves at home
Friday night in the Coors Events Center, but with lots of unwarranted hospitality
from the Buffaloes.
Getting 22 points from 21 CU turnovers, USC rolled to an 81-61 Pac-12 Conference win.
The Buffs committed 11 of their turnovers in the first half, digging themselves
an early hole with a very narrow escape route. CU (7-7, 0-3) never found it, losing
its fourth consecutive game and its sixth of the past seven. The Buffs trailed by
as many as 19 points late in the first half and were never able to pull closer than 9
points in the second half.
Entering Friday night, the Trojans (10-5, 2-2) had lost three of their past four
games, including a split with the Oregon schools in the Pac-12’s opening weekend.
“I thought we did some really good things,” CU coach Linda Lappe said, “but
we didn’t start off well (and) it didn’t seem like we could ever catch up . . . but give
USC credit; they came in here with a lot of confidence and played hard.”
Lappe said her team, which faces UCLA on Sunday at the CEC (2 p.m., Pac12 Network), “just has to regroup and keep getting better, come to work every day
. . . I feel like we have gotten better but if you look at one stat, it’s the turnovers.
“We have to tighten up defensively, but offensively if we take care of the ball
(Friday night) it’s a totally different game at halftime.”
The Buffs trailed 40-27 at intermission, but it took a 6-0 run to close the half
to get them that close. And that run could have been 8-0 had Jamee Swan and
Jasmine Sborov converted free throws for three-point plays.
But the Buffs couldn’t complain; less than a minute earlier they trailed 40-21
with that 19-point deficit marking their largest at home this season. It surpassed
the 14-point deficit they faced against Colorado State in the Omni Hotels Classic.
The Buffs rallied to win that one 87-81 in double overtime, but to duplicate
that – OT or not – against the Trojans would be difficult.
For starters, CU’s turnovers would have to decrease. Of the Buffs’ 11 first-half
turnovers, four came in the first 4:03. The Trojans got 14 first-half points off of the
home team’s errors, then eight more in the second as a result of the Buffs’ 10
turnovers. The 11 first-half errors were largely responsible for CU failing to score
on consecutive possessions until the 6-0 run to close the half.
Meanwhile, CU got only eight points from USC’s eight miscues in 40 minutes.
Guard Lexy Kresl said the Buffs can combat their turnover epidemic by “having confidence, handling the ball and handling the pressure . . . we just have to
attack; when you’re not aggressive you make more mistakes.”
Added Lappe: “It’s not that we’re bad ball handlers, it’s just making the right
reads and the right passes.”
CU shot 41.9 percent (13-for-31) from the field in the first 20 minutes and the
Trojans weren’t astoundingly better, hitting 43.2 percent (16-of-37). It merely underscored CU’s need to take better care of the ball in the second half; it happened
for a while but not consistently enough for the Buffs to catch up.
USC finished the night shooting 42.9 percent (27-of-63) while CU checked
out at 44.3 percent (27-of-61). And that takes the Buffs back to the turnovers that
ultimately cost them the game.
Three Buffs scored in double figures, topped by Swan’s 14 points. Jen Reese
added 13 and Sborov 10. The Trojans got 20 points each from Alexyz Vaioletama
and McKenzie Calvert, and 17 from Brianna Barrett.
USC’s aggressiveness in getting to the basket was obvious. The Trojans attempted 31 free throws, making 23, while the Buffs went 8-for-11 from the foul line.
“Yeah,” said Lappe, “I think we can be more aggressive in getting to the rim.”
Opening the second half with a conventional three-point play from Swan, the
Buffs trimmed the Trojans’ lead to 10 (40-30). But it took nearly 8 minutes before
they finally cut USC’s lead to single digits. Lauren Huggins hit a 3-pointer from
the top of the key to pull CU to within nine points (56-47) with 12:17 to play.
But that was as close as the Buffs could get. The Trojans responded with five
quick points, rebuilt a 14-point lead (61-47) and led by as many as 20 in the final
minute.
BOULDER – For about 30 minutes of Colorado’s Sunday afternoon game
against UCLA, Jen Reese was unstoppable. Her game was predictable, yet inevitable — cut, catch, turn, fire, swish, repeat.
Her career-high 30 points were almost enough to pull off the Buffs’ biggest
comeback since 1982. Almost. Colorado fought back from 21 points down, but it
couldn’t overcome an early rash of turnovers and poor shooting. The Buffs turned
a laugher into a thriller into a heartbreaker and fell 90-84 to the Bruins at the Coors
Events Center.
Nonetheless, CU coach Linda Lappe called the game “probably the best
we’ve played – at least the last 30 minutes – all year long...I’m proud of how we
competed and attacked, proud of how hard we worked. We took a good step in the
right direction.”
UCLA shot 50 percent from the field, 53.8 from 3-point range (7-of-13), and
had an impressive six players in double figures, led by Kari Korver’s 17 points.
CU’s accuracy was even better, shooting 57.9 percent (33-of-57) from the field,
including 60.8 percent in the second half.
But neither the Buffs’ late marksmanship nor Reese’s individual heroics was
enough. They lost their fifth consecutive game, their seventh in the past eight, and
dropped to 0-4 in Pac-12 Conference play (7-8 overall).
The Buffs opened the game like the shellshocked team that committed 21
turnovers in an 81-61 loss to USC on Friday. They turned the ball over five times
in Sunday’s first 10 minutes and UCLA (7-9, 3-2) made them pay in transition; the
Bruins turned those easy looks into 14 fast-break points and they made eight of
their first 11 shots.
UCLA opened with a full-court press and it denied CU good looks; the Buffs
hit just two of their first eight shots and went more than 4 minutes without scoring.
The Bruins, meanwhile, used that drought to build their lead as large as 21 points.
Slowly, though, the Buffs crept back in. A three-guard lineup that featured
Lexy Kresl, Jasmine Sborov and Alina Hartmann helped grease Colorado’s
ball movement, as the Buffs hit eight of their final 12 shots with six of those makes
coming off of assists. They got Reese open looks along the baseline; they got
Kresl open above the break, where she hit four threes; and Haley Smith feasted
on jumpers from the free-throw line when the Bruins focused on her teammates.
“They zoned a lot, but a lot of times I think they kind of get lost in the zone,”
Smith said. “And then they would lose our shooters on the wings and stuff. I definitely think there were some great holes that we were able to take advantage of.”
Most of the Buffs’ best looks were midrange jumpers; Reese and Smith picked
UCLA’s 2-3 zone apart by cutting to open spaces. Reese was all but automatic,
hitting from the baseline, the elbow, the wing, from everywhere.
“It’s a lot about moving without the ball and trying to find the open gaps,” said
Reese, who added seven rebounds, five assists and was 2-of-2 from the foul line.
“I feel that as a team we did that, and people with the ball were finding the open
players and those players were able to knock the shots down.”
The Buffs’ first half was remarkably efficient given their poor start — they shot
50 percent and trailed by just nine points at halftime. CU carried its hot streak
through the break, and the Bruins cooled off; the Buffs cut UCLA’s lead to five
points less than 2 minutes into the second half.
Reese tied the game 5 minutes into the second when she cut backdoor and
dropped in a layup off of a feed from Jamee Swan. Lauren Huggins gave Colorado its first lead less than a minute later. She leaked through the Bruins’ full-court
pressure and buried a 3-poinnter from the right wing.
From there, the teams went back-and-forth; UCLA finally pulled ahead
through persistence on the offensive glass — the Buffs won the rebounding battle
by one (30-29) but still allowed 13 offensive boards.
The Buffs’ chances effectively ended with 16 seconds left, when Swan
crashed into the Bruins’ defense on the fast break. She hit a layup and thought
she had an opportunity to tie the game with a 3-point play, but Swan was whistling
for charging. UCLA had the lead, the momentum and the ball.
“It was a tough call,” Lappe said. “You have to call something. I probably
should have called timeout with Jamee being on the fast break. It was one play in
a game that had a lot of plays, a lot of shots and a lot of calls. It wasn’t the game
for sure.”

BOULDER – The Colorado women’s basketball team had never opened conference play – any conference play – with five consecutive losses. It required an
extra 5 minutes and stellar free throw shooting, but the resilient Buffs avoided that
historical blemish with a 77-72 overtime escape against Utah Wednesday night at
the Coors Events Center.
CU (8-8, 1-4) broke a five-game losing streak and earned its first Pac-12 Conference win of 2015.
“It feels good to get that one,” added Buffs coach Linda Lappe. “I liked how
our team came out tonight.”
That would be bold and aggressive, but the Utes (6-10, 0-5) didn’t rattle or roll
over. Rallying from an eight-point second-half deficit to tie the score at 63-63 with
1:23 to play, they forced the Buffs into their fourth overtime this season – the most
in program history. CU is 3-1 in those games.
The Utes held a 41-32 rebound advantage and outscored the Buffs 42-16 in
the paint. But in OT, CU showed the same determination it discovered in a Sunday
loss to UCLA and didn’t falter.
Two minutes into the extra period, freshman Joeseta Fatuesi hit a 3-pointer for
Utah’s first lead – 68-67 – since 9-7. The teams traded one-point leads until Jen
Reese, Lexy Kresl, Jasmine Sborov and Haley Smith hit eight of 10 free throws
in the final 1:33 to seal CU’s win.
“We were comfortable going into overtime – we’ve been in a lot of them -although we could have won it in regulation,” Lappe said. “But we made enough
plays down the stretch (in OT).”
Making those plays led to Utes fouls and to Buffs free throws. CU made 31 of
40 attempts for the night, but went 10-of-13 in the overtime. Smith was perfect in
the extra period – 4-for-4 – and for the night – 11-for-11. Kresl canned 11 of her 16
foul shot tries and finished with a career-high 26 points.
Smith added 15 and freshman Brecca Thomas scored a career-high 11
points. Thomas was one of three freshmen – Zoe Correal and Alina Hartmann
were the other pair – who aided in the Buffs’ bench productivity. CU’s subs outscored Utah’s 18-6.
Up by a point with 3:04 left before intermission, the Buffs closed out the half
with an 8-2 run and took a 38-31 lead to their locker room. It was their largest
advantage of the first half, and they never trailed after the 15-minute mark when
the Utes forged a 9-9 tie.
Kresl scored her 10 first-half points in the first 12 minutes, going 3-for-3 from
the field and hitting a pair of treys and two of three free throws. But her second
personal foul sent her to the bench with 8:12 left in the period and she didn’t return.
Also missing court time due to a pair of quick fouls was Jamee Swan, who
played only 6 minutes and scored three first-half points (seven total). And Reese,
coming off a career-high 30 points against UCLA, missed her only three field goal
attempts and went to the locker room scoreless. She finished with six points.
Given those circumstances, CU needed bench help – and the subs delivered.
Thomas (9), Hartmann (3) and Correal (2) combined for 15 first-half points.
But CU’s late first-half momentum didn’t spill into the second half. Opening the
final 20 minutes with a 6-0 run, Utah crept to 38-37 and forced a Buffs timeout.
Kresl and Sborov hit back-to-back jumpers, putting CU ahead 42-37 with
15:30 remaining. Not quite half a minute later, one of two free throws by Kresl sent
the Buffs up 43-37, and when Reese hit a 15-foot jumper for her first points CU
finished a 7-0 run and pushed its advantage to eight (45-37).
But Wicijowski and the Utes Utah kept pushing. After her 3-pointer from the
top of the key drew them to 52-50, her pair of free throws with 1:23 to play tied the
game at 63-63. After a timeout with a minute remaining, the Utes turned the ball
over with 38.9 seconds left. CU called timeout, but a traveling call on Kresl ended
that possession and left Utah with 26 seconds to win it.
With 15.3 seconds showing, the Utes took a timeout to set their final play. A
layup attempt by Danielle Rodriguez missed, the Buffs controlled the rebound and
used their last timeout with 1.1 seconds remaining.
A full-court pass by Reese was fielded at the top of the key by Swan, who
steered a pass to Smith for a desperation shot from the left corner. It missed and
once again the Buffs were headed for OT.

SALT LAKE CITY – The Colorado women’s basketball team required overtime to defeat Utah on Wednesday night in Boulder, but on Sunday afternoon no
extra time was needed for the Buffaloes to record a memorable road win.
Parlaying torrid 3-point shooting in the second half and skin-tight defense
all game on the Utes’ Taryn Wicijowski, the Buffaloes took care of business in
regulation and left the Huntsman Center with a 73-54 Pac-12 Conference victory.
CU (9-8, 2-4) won for the second time on the road this season and for the
first time in Pac-12 play. It was the Buffs’ largest conference road win in 12 years
-- or since a 71-50 triumph at Kansas in 2003, current CU coach Linda Lappe’s
senior season.
“We started well and had a lot of energy,” Lappe said. “Defensively, I liked
our presence. They (Utah) missed shots, and a lot of them we caused by having
our hands up and our length.”
The Buffs hit eight of their 14 3-point field goal attempts, including going
7-for-11 in the second half. Their final shooting numbers: 44.9 percent from the
field, 57.1 from beyond the arc. But they hit 63.6 in the final 20 minutes from long
range and 57.1 percent from the field overall in the second half.
Just as impressive, though, as the Buffs’ marksmanship was their inside defense on Wicijowski, who nearly singlehandedly carried the Utes in their 77-72
OT loss on Wednesday in Boulder.
In that game, Wicijowski led all scorers with 29 points and all rebounders
with 14. But four days later, the Buffs had her figured out; she finished with six
points – none in the second half – and three rebounds – none in the first half.
“Our posts may not have scored a lot for us (today), but they did a nice job
defending,” Lappe said. “We talked a lot about how we were going to stop Taryn
Wicijowski, she obviously hurt us at our place, we wanted to do some different
things on her.
“Jamee Swan did a nice job. Zoe Correal did a nice job as well. Just the
way that we doubled team, it was there every time, a defender could really count
on that double. I think we just caused her [Wicijowski] to think. And anytime you
make players think, good things happen for you defensively.”
And after scoring a career-high 26 points on Wednesday night, senior Lexy
Kresl again found Utah’s defense to her liking. She led all scorers Sunday with
18 points, but got help from Haley Smith (11) and Swan (10).
The Buffs also went 13-for-14 from the free throw line, got 17 points off of 12
Utes turnovers and committed just nine themselves. They outrebounded the Utes
36-28, with Jen Reese grabbing a team-high seven boards.
Danielle Rodriguez led Utah with 14 points and was the only Utes player in
double figures. Utah was held to 36.7 percent (18-of-49) from the field. The Utes
(6-10, 0-6) dropped their sixth consecutive game and now have lost seven of their
last nine games.
The Buffs led 27-24 at halftime, taking the lead on a 3-pointer by Kresl with
5 seconds before the buzzer. They were ahead for most of the half, up by as
many as five points before encountering a nearly 6-minute scoring drought and
committing three of their four first-half turnovers.
The Utes took advantage, going on an 8-0 run and taking a three-point lead
before the Buffs righted themselves, caught up and went into intermission ahead.
At the 12:30 mark of the second half, CU opened an eight-point advantage
(40-32) then went ahead by double digits (50-40) for the first time on a Kresl
layup. Less than a minute later, Jasmine Sborov added a reverse layup for a 5240 lead – and with 8:02 to play the Buffs appeared to be reaching a rare comfort
zone on the Pac-12 road.
CU increased its advantage to as many as 21 points in the final minute and a
half.

SEATTLE – Colorado showed it could run with the Pac-12’s highest-scoring
outfit. But the Buffaloes couldn’t run with the Washington Huskies long enough.
The Buffs led by as many as 11 points in the first half and 8 in the second, but
they couldn’t hang on and lost 85-82, snapping their two-game winning streak.
CU (9-9, 2-5) rallied to go ahead 68-65 with 6:22 to play, but a 3-pointer by
Jazmine Davis tied the score and the Buffs never regained the lead. They pulled
to within a point three times in the final 4:11 and missed a final-second shot to
send the game into overtime.
The Buffs had three players in double figures, topped by Lexy Kresl’s 23.
Jamee Swan added 22 while Jen Reese contributed 13. Swan also grabbed 11
rebounds for her fourth double-double of the season.
Davis led the Huskies (15-4, 4-3), who average 79.5 points a game, with 25
points and Kelsey Plum – the Pac-12’s leading scorer – added 23, just 1.5 below
her average. Talia Walton scored 18.
A hot-shooting first half – 45 percent overall from the field, 50 percent from
behind the arc – carried the Buffs to a 42-35 halftime lead.
Swan led CU in scoring (15 points) and rebounding (7) in the opening half,
but she was one of four Buffs to pick up two fouls in the first 20 minutes and got
the required bench time along with Zoe Correal, Haley Smith and Reese.
First-half hustle paid off for the Buffs; they outscored the Huskies 13-3 in
second-chance points and outrebounded them 23-19. Plus, CU opened in a sharing mood, dishing out 12 first half assists.
And CU’s first-half defense wasn’t bad either. UW managed only 37 percent
from the field (11-of-32) but drained 7 of its 19 3-point attempts. Walton hit all
three of her trey tries and, like Plum, scored first-half 11 points.
The Buffs didn’t open the second half as efficiently as they did the first, and
the Huskies were more dialed in than they were at the opening tip. Result: UW
outscored CU 15-6 – including a 12-0 run – in the second half’s first 4:08.
CU went nearly 3 minutes without a basket, and compounding the coldness,
the Buffs committed three quick turnovers and saw Reese go to the bench with
her fourth foul. The Huskies surged ahead 52-48 and stayed ahead until Kresl hit
a trey for a 53-52 Buffs advantage with just under 14 minutes remaining.
It was the start of something good – really good.
Kresl and her teammates were rediscovering their offensive rhythm. Her
triple not only restored CU’s lead, it launched an 11-0 run that carried the Buffs
to a 62-54. Kresl, who had six first-half points, added 14 before the second half’s
10-minute mark as CU hit six of seven shots during its surge.
But the Huskies wouldn’t go away. They pulled to within 66-65 with 7:06 to
play on one of two foul shots by Davis. But the Buffs countered with a pair of free
throws by Swan – her first points of the second half – for a three-point CU lead.
It lasted as long as it took Davis to can a 3-pointer to tie it at 68-68. Two free
throws by Aminah Williams returned the advantage (70-68) to UW with 5:09 left.
The Buffs closed to within one point three times in the final 4:11, including 78-77
with 1:50 to play. After Plum missed two free throws, CU called timeout with 1:24
left. But the Buffs didn’t capitalize on their set strategy, and Davis made them pay
by hitting a 3-pointer from the corner to push the Huskies ahead 81-77 with 49
seconds remaining.
Two free throws by Reese 22 seconds later pulled the Buffs to within 81-79
– and a stop was needed. It came in the form of Smith’s fifth foul, sending Plum
to the foul line with 21 seconds left. She hit both free throws – UW went up 83-79
– but Swan knocked down a trey to draw CU to 83-82 with 11.9 seconds showing.
After a Huskies timeout, Swan quickly fouled Davis, who sank one of two for
an 84-82 advantage. But UW controlled the miss and CU was forced to foul with
9 seconds to play. Kelli Kingma hit one of her two free throws for an 85-82 UW
lead. A desperation 3-pointer by Jasmine Sborov with a second left missed – and
the Buffs were done.

PULLMAN, Wash. – Colorado women’s basketball played dominant defense
for 40 minutes Sunday afternoon, but its offense, turnover-prone all game, failed
in the final five. The Buffs blew a late lead for the second consecutive game and
fell 73-68 to the Washington State Cougars.
“This is definitely a missed opportunity, two missed opportunities,” Colorado
coach Linda Lappe said. “There are some definite positives but again we have
to be sharper at the end of the game.”
Until the end, the Buffs (9-10, 2-6) had the game in hand. They played the
best defense they had all year, holding the Cougars (13-6, 4-4) to just 25 percent
shooting and 18 percent from deep. Colorado itself shot 50 percent, and got a
career-high 28 points from Jamee Swan.
With those numbers, the Buffs losing seemed nigh-impossible. But a combination of turnovers and Washington State’s foul shooting gave the Cougars the
edge. The Buffs turned the ball over a season-high 27 times and sent Washington
State to the line for 39 foul shots, and there the Cougars shot 84 percent.
Nearly all of Washington State’s offense came from the line. The Cougars
missed nearly as many shots (52) as Colorado attempted (56). The few field
goals that they did hit were costly — eight of their 18 makes came off of their 20
offensive rebounds.
“We didn’t get any offensive rebounds in the last eight minutes of the game,”
Lappe said. “So really, it comes down to rebounding and turnovers. It’s hard to
win a game where you give a team 14 extra shots and they shoot 39 free throws.”
CU rolled early, and its defense was stifling. The Buffs packed the paint and
forced the Cougars into jump shots, and their slump never broke. Washington
State’s shooting numbers were ghastly — guards Lia Galdeira and Tia Presley
were a combined 10-of-34, forwards Taylor Edmondson and Mariah Cooks 6-of19. But Galdeira got 12 of her team-high 27 points at the free-throw line. Presley
was perfect on her seven attempts from the stripe; Cooks was 9-of-10.
Cooks in particular hurt the Buffs late; she was a perfect 8-of-8 at the line in
the second half.
Swan almost did enough on her own to give the Buffs the victory. She paced
CU all game, and no Cougar could guard her one-on-one. She unleashed her
full arsenal of post moves — spins, hooks, drop steps — and chipped in seven
rebounds. Lexy Kresl continued her strong shooting stretch with 15 points on
an efficient 5-of-8 shooting, and her eight boards led the team. But she was also
responsible for seven turnovers.
The Cougars scored 25 points off of those 27 turnovers; the damage would
have been much worse if not for Colorado’s suffocating defense. But those were
27 possessions that the hot-shooting Buffs didn’t finish with a shot, 27 possessions without Swan finishing a post-up or Jen Reese launching from midrange.
Reese didn’t have her best game — her jumper was hot early, but she finished with just nine points on 4-of-10 shooting. Still, Colorado led by as much
as 12 in the second half and seemed poised at any minute to run away. The
turnovers, though, gave the Cougars a lifeline they were more than happy to
grab.
It all coalesced in one calamitous stretch with four minutes left. With Colorado
nursing a 65-60 lead, Jasmine Sborov turned the ball over to Galdeira, then
fouled her. It was Sborov’s fifth foul, so she was gone, and Lappe vigorously
argued the call with the ref, who assessed the coach a technical foul. That gave
Galdeira four free throws, and she nailed them all. Two more foul shots from
Louise Brown gave the Cougars a lead they wouldn’t relinquish.
Washington State closed the game on a 16-3 run despite making just 1-of-7
field goals in that stretch. The Cougars finally started double-teaming Swan, and
Colorado couldn’t find offense from anyone else.
The Buffs have a shot at revenge in Boulder on February 13.
BOULDER – Despite another late push and rally from a second half deficit,
the University of Colorado women’s basketball lost 68-60 Friday night to No. 11
Arizona State.
It was the third straight close loss for the Buffs (9-11, 2-7), the third straight
heartbreaker that just slipped away.
“We keep playing better and better,” Colorado head coach Linda Lappe
said. “I liked how hard we played tonight. It was the hardest that we played all
season long. We had a shot to win it. They made a few more plays down the
stretch.”
Lappe and her players were visibly frustrated after the game — they lost
despite 18 points from Lexy Kresl, despite another double-double from Jamee
Swan, despite committing only 12 turnovers.
“We did a fantastic job on the glass and a fantastic job taking care of the
basketball,” Lappe said. “Those were the two things we talked about a lot this
week.”
Still, the Buffs struggled to find good looks against Arizona State’s defense,
and 15 points each from the Sun Devils’ Sophie Brunner and Katie Hempen were
enough to push them over the top.
The Buffs could not do much of anything in the first half against the Sun Devils’ Pac-12-leading defense, shooting just 28 percent. Arizona State (19-2, 8-1)
pressed after makes and Colorado had to work hard to advance the ball against
the Sun Devils’ athletic guards.
Arizona State stifled the Buffs’ half-court sets, too — the Sun Devils’ bigs
snuffed out Colorado’s pick-and-rolls with solid hedges and timely double teams.
Arizona State consistently denied the Buffs the middle of the floor.
Swan was the only Buff who shot efficiently in the first half. She continued
her hot streak from last weekend; she made 2-of-2 and pulled down eight boards
while the rest of the team shot 5-for-23.
Colorado stayed close because Arizona State was nearly as sloppy — the
Sun Devils hit just 36 percent of their shots and committed seven turnovers.
The Buffs went to the locker room trailing by only seven points (30-23) and
they started the second half hot. Swan continued to get easy looks off of offensive
rebounds and Kresl heated up after scoring only five points in the first half.
But Hempen got hot after a quiet first half, too — the Sun Devils’ leading
scorer is a streaky shooter, and she turned up only briefly, but she nailed two
deep, contested threes that each dampened Colorado’s burgeoning rally.
The Buffs also struggled to contain Promise Amukamara, who repeatedly
foiled her defenders with quick drives and a nasty crossover. Arizona State’s lead
grew to as large as 13 points, and the Sun Devils were up by 10 when Colorado
lost Swan for the rest of the game with an ankle injury.
Swan skied for another offensive rebound with a little more than eight minutes remaining and rolled her left ankle when she landed. She lay in pain on the
court for more than a minute and could put little weight on the ankle when she
was helped off the court; she is listed as day-to-day.
“Anytime someone gets hurt you pick it up for them and play in honor of
them,” Kresl said. “She was in pain and we felt we needed to come together for
her.”
Come together they did — the Buffs went on an 18-11 run after Swan’s injury
and cut the Arizona State lead to three points at 61-58 with 2:35 left in the game.
Colorado got a three from Brecca Thomas, an and-one from Jen Reese (who
shot just 2-of-7 and scored only nine points in an otherwise quiet night), and Kresl
started aggressively driving and finishing at the rim.
Just when the Buffs were in striking distance, though, the Sun Devils pulled
away. Brunner hit a layup and then forward Kelsey Moos hit a rare three to put
the game out of reach.
