Buffs Outlast Air Force, 71-63

BOULDER — Jaylyn Sherrod and Kindyll Wetta each scored 15 points to lead the Colorado Buffaloes women's basketball team to hard-fought 71-63 win over the Air Force Academy Falcons here in a Saturday afternoon matinee.

In four previous visits here, Air Force left here on average with nearly 31-point losses. But that wasn't the case here Saturday, as the upstart Falcons were tough to handle from the get-go, forcing CU to rally from an early 8-point deficit, a margin the Buffs didn't match until the final score.

The win prevented a potential first 4-0 start in 17 seasons for the Zoomies.
