Junior Brittany Spears scored 28 points as she moved from 13th to 11th on CU's all-time scoring list with 1,398. She passed Diane Hiemstra (1,376 from 1981-84) and Mandy Nightingale (1,386 from 1998-02) and needs just one more to catch Jenny Roulier (1,399 from 1998-02) to enter CU's top 10 in scoring.

Sophomore guard Alyssa Fressle recorded 11 points for the second-straight game, the first time this season she's scored double digits in back-to-back games.

Junior guard Kelly Jo Mullaney has hit a 3-pointer in three straight games, making 4-of-6 in that span. She has also played 20 minutes in her last three games.
Senior guard Bianca Smith made three 3-pointers giving her 14 games this season with three or more 3-pointers. She increases her season total to 64, the eighth-best single-season total in team history and just 16 off her own school record of 80 she made in 2007-08.
