In a program-defining victory, the CU women’s basketball team (6-6, 4-5 Pac-12) upset the No. 1 Stanford Cardinal (11-1, 8-1 Pac-12) in overtime at the CU Events Center on Sunday. Senior forward Mya Hollingshed shot for a career-high 32 points to avenge a pair of heartbreaking losses to the Cardinal last season.
The 77-72 win marked just the third time in CU athletics history that a Buffaloes team brought down a No. 1 ranked opponent.
“I have a thousand thoughts running through my head, all of them are positive and excited and I’m just unbelievably proud of our ballclub,” head coach JR Payne said.
