The No. 4 Colorado Buffaloes women’s basketball couldn’t figure out No. 17 Oregon State again on Sunday.
The visiting Beavers led by as much as 25 and weathered a furious fourth-quarter Colorado rally to come away with a 65-59 win and a regular season sweep of the Buffs.
Oregon State couldn’t miss from 3-point land in the first half, hitting nine 3s while building a 44-24 lead. On the other end, the Beavers’ stingy defense continued to keep the Buffs quiet through three quarters. Entering the fourth quarter, the Buffs trailed 60-38.
Colorado fought back with a 21-5 fourth quarter to make OSU sweat, but it was too late.
Colorado’s offense was disrupted by one of the best defenses in the nation as the Buffs couldn’t get going until late. Two days after shooting 52.2% and handing out 32 assists against Oregon, CU could only muster 13 assists on 36.9% shooting.
Jaylyn Sherrod led the Buffs with 14 points and Aaronette Vonleh had 10.
Up next, Colorado (20-4, 10-3 Pac-12) will go on the road for three straight games against ranked opponents. First up is a Friday evening matchup at No. 20 Utah.
