BOULDER, Colo. (Interstat) — The Colorado women’s basketball team delivered a dominant performance from the opening tip, overwhelming Boise State 83-53 in a nonconference game Tuesday night at the Coors Events Center.

The Buffaloes seized control immediately, erupting for 25 points in the first quarter while holding the Broncos to just nine. That 16-point lead after ten minutes set the tone for the evening, as Colorado’s stifling defense and efficient offense never relented. The Buffaloes extended their advantage to 49-23 by halftime and led 70-34 after three quarters before both teams emptied their benches in the final period.

Colorado’s victory was built on a foundation of defensive pressure and offensive precision. The Buffaloes forced 13 Boise State turnovers and converted them into 27 points, while committing only eight turnovers themselves. Colorado also dominated the paint, outscoring the Broncos 42-24, and dished out 13 assists compared to just three for Boise State.

Anaëlle Dutat led a balanced Colorado scoring attack with 17 points. Kennedy Sanders provided a major spark off the bench, scoring 14 points and adding five assists in just 13 minutes of action. Logyn Greer and Desiree Wooten each contributed 11 points, while Zyanna Walker filled the stat sheet with 10 points and six assists.

For Boise State, Natalie Pasco was the lone bright spot, finishing with 14 points. The Broncos struggled offensively all night, shooting just 39.4 percent from the floor and posting an offensive rating of 75.3 on 53 possessions. Colorado, by contrast, shot 53.3 percent and registered an offensive rating of 118.5.

The win improves both teams’ records to 3-1 on the young season. Boise State looks to rebound when it hosts Seattle on Friday. Colorado continues its homestand Saturday against Texas-Arlington in a game to be played in Laie, Hawaii. An estimated 1,805 fans were in attendance for the game.
