Buffaloes Breeze In NCAA First Round
March 22, 2003 | Women's Basketball
BOULDER, Colo. - Kate Fagan scored 21 points, going 6-of-10 from 3-point range, and Colorado routed BYU 84-45 Saturday night in the first round of the Mideast Regional.
Sabrina Scott added 12 points and eight rebounds for Colorado (23-7), and Tera Bjorklund had 11 points and 11 rebounds.
Erin Thorn had 10 points for BYU (19-12), all in the first half.
Fagan had 15 points in the first half and was 4-for-8 on 3-pointers, as Colorado raced to a 43-18 halftime lead.
Colorado, the No. 6 seed, will meet third-seeded North Carolina in the second round Monday night.
BYU opened with a collapsing zone defense in an attempt to stop the 6-foot-5 Bjorklund, and Colorado made the Cougars pay from the perimeter.
Scott hit three 3-pointers in the half, including back-to-back 3s that gave the Buffaloes an early 19-6 lead. Fagan's 3-pointer capped a 12-0 run that made it 34-10 as BYU went 6:50 without a point.
Two more 3s by Fagan and one by Scott produced a 43-13 lead with 2:01 left in the half.
Colorado outshot the Cougars 48 percent to 25 percent in the half, and BYU didn't go to the free-throw line.
The Buffaloes used a 10-0 run early in the second half to build a 56-21 lead and eventually pushed its advantage to 42 points.
