In a closely contested women's basketball game, Colorado managed to maintain their lead against Washington State, with significant contributions from their starters including Jaylyn Sherrod, Frida Formann, Quay Miller, Aaronette Vonleh, and Maddie Nolan. Sherrod, despite having to wear a facemask due to an earlier injury, played a pivotal role, achieving a new Colorado WBB record with her 128th career start and scoring 18 points in the game. Quay Miller also reached a milestone, surpassing the 1,400-point mark in her collegiate career. The game saw Colorado leading with scores like 64-55, 64-59, and 68-61 at critical junctures, despite Washington State's attempts to close the gap, highlighted by Astera Tuhina's deep 3-pointer that briefly gave the Cougars a 69-63 lead. Meanwhile, Washington State secured a 75-72 win over USC, improving to a 22-7 record. USC, however, bounced back with an 82-75 victory over Washington, largely thanks to freshman Isaiah Collier's career-high 27 points, showcasing his potential with 14-20 FG and 3-5 3-PT shooting.
