Colorado women’s basketball recap: No. 21 Buffs close out regular season with a W

The No. 21 #cubuffs secured a dominant win on senior day

The No. 21 Colorado Buffaloes were determined to stop their first losing streak of the season and they did it with a bang, putting up a season-high 95 points in a 95-69 thrashing of the Cal Bears on Saturday.

Aaronette Vonleh had a monster day, scoring 25 points on 11-of-14 shooting from the field. Frida Formann returned from an illness to add 19 points and Jaylyn Sherrod scored 16 points with six assists. The Buffaloes only held a 43-37 lead after two quarters, but they outscored Cal 52-22 in the second half to secure a 22-7 regular season record.

Colorado will now enter the Pac-12 Women’s Basketball Tournament as the No. 3 seed with a first-round bye. The winner of No. 6 USC-No. 11 Oregon State will face the Buffs in round two on Thursday.

A special shoutout goes to Tayanna Jones, who was honored for senior day.

Colorado women’s basketball recap: No. 3 Stanford outlasts No. 21 Buffs in double OT

No. 3 Stanford outlasted the No. 21 #cubuffs in double overtime

The No. 21 Colorado Buffaloes had their chances to score a major upset over No. 3 Stanford, but they ran out of gas in a 73-62 double overtime loss on Thursday afternoon.

The Cardinal women outscored CU 13-2 in the second overtime period.

Colorado held a one-point lead when Jaylyn Sherrod was fouled with six seconds to play in the first overtime. Sherrod missed both of her free throw attempts to give the Cardinal new life and they took advantage.

The Buffaloes were shorthanded as Frida Formann missed the game due to illness. Sherrod and forward Tayanna Jones stepped up in her absence, with Sherrod scoring 19 points and Jones chipping in nine points and seven rebounds.

After taking a 19-5 lead midway through the second quarter, CU had an opportunity to put away Stanford, which began the game 1-for-21 from the field. But the Cardinal corrected their offensive woes and surpassed the Buffs early in the third quarter.

While the final score was disappointing, the Buffs should hold their heads high knowing that they took the No. 3 team in the country to double overtime. Especially on defense, Colorado proved once again that it can play with the best in the country.

The Buffs will look to build some momentum heading into the Pac-12 Tournament as they close out their regular season against Cal in Boulder on Saturday.
