LOS ANGELES (AP) - Tera Bjorklund scored 19 points, Emily Waner had 15, and No. 14 Colorado overcame a 12-point halftime deficit in a 69-67 victory Saturday over USC.
Waner made six of seven shots and Bjorklund made eight of 15. Randie Wirt added 12 points and eight rebounds for the Buffs (8-1).
Colorado took the lead on a 3-pointer by Waner with 8:35 p to give Colorado a 55-51 lead with 7:18 left. The Buffs never trailed again, leading by as many as seven down the stretch.
