BOULDER- Tera Bjorklund had 14 points and Linda Lappe and Sabrina Scott added 13 points each as Colorado beat Colorado State 65-51 Thursday night.
Bjorklund, who had five assists and six rebounds, scored six points in the last 10 minutes as Colorado (7-1) outscored Colorado State (5-2) 30-16 in that stretch. Lappe had 11 points in the second half as Colorado beat the Rams for the first time since the teams resumed their series in 1999.
Scott also had her second double-double of the year with 10 rebounds.
Katie Borton led Colorado State with 11 points. The Rams scored a season-low 51 points and shot a season-low 37 percent.
Joy Jenkins tied the game for the Rams at 35-35 with a layup with 10:28 left, but CSU didn't have another field goal until Shannon Strecker's rebound basket four minutes later. During that drought, Lappe had a jumper and 3-pointer to put Colorado ahead 45-39.
The Colorado lead was 55-40 with 2:14 remaining after two inside baskets and a pair of free throws by Bjorklund and Lappe's two free throws.
Colorado State was held scoreless until Elizabeth English's running one-hander nearly four minutes into the game, and by then Colorado led 7-2 on Bjorklund's four points. Jenkins converted a layup and free throw to tie the game at 13-13 for the Rams with 8:18 left in the first half.
Colorado regained the momentum and a 21-15 lead when Kate Fagan's jumper finished a 6-0 run. The Buffaloes took a 24-19 lead into halftime on Fagan's 3-pointer in the last 2:15 of the half.
