Turning the page to 2021, the University of Colorado Buffs women’s basketball team committed a season-high 21 turnovers Friday at the CU Events Center. Although that may not sound like a recipe for success, Colorado’s defense held stout down the stretch to earn a 60-50 win over Washington.
Thirteen days after a gut-wrenching loss to No. 6 Arizona, head coach JR Payne’s squad boosted its record to 4-4 overall and 2-3 in Pac-12 play.
Senior forward Mya Hollingshed kicked off the scoring for the Buffs, nailing back-to-back layups in what was a historic night for her. With the Buffs down 30-27 near the end of the first half, Hollingshed nailed a free throw to become the 32nd player in CU history to reach 1,000 career points.
