The Colorado women’s basketball team’s offense has been up and down so far this season, but it was thriving on Tuesday in the Buffs’ 75-59 win over the Nevada Wolf Pack.
Colorado played well from the start and led by as many as 24 points during the game before settling for the 16-point win. Three Buffs got into double-digits with senior guard Johanna Teder dropping a team-high 14 off the bench. Jade Masogayo scored over 10 points for the third straight game, finishing with 11 points and five rebounds. Senior point guard Kindyll Wetta also contributed 12 points, five rebounds and two assists.
After falling to Boise State on Sunday, Tuesday’s win over Nevada gives the Buffs a split on their two-game road trip and moves them to 3-1 on the young season.
The biggest difference between the Boise State loss was CU’s ability to hit shots from deep. The Buffs nailed nine 3-pointers, with Johanna Teder and Sara-Rose Smith each hitting three. Smith got her first start of the year in place of freshman Tabitha Betson as the Buffs continue to try and find the right combination until guard Frida Formann is healthy enough to return to the starting lineup.
Colorado returns home on Sunday to face the Southern Jaguars. Tip off is set for 5 p.m. MT on ESPN+.
