Colorado regained momentum in the closing minutes, with senior forward Jade Masogayo delivering a decisive three-point play with two seconds left to clinch the win for the Buffaloes.
Head coach JR Payne commented on her team’s performance: “What a resilient group we have here to take a team like that down the stretch, down eight, two separate times. Our execution, aggressive mindset, and ability to make big plays. So many people made big plays tonight. Jade [Masogayo] was obviously incredible down the stretch. Logyn [Greer] was incredible. Lots of different people made winning plays tonight, offensively and defensively. I thought the defensive effort from AD [Anaëlle Dutat] was incredible on Donovyn Hunter, having to play for 90 feet most of the game, and Zyanna [Walker] guarding Olivia Miles most of the night. Just great team effort. I’m really, really happy about this one.”
Statistically, Colorado outperformed TCU in several categories including bench points (36-7), fast break points (14-11), assists (14-10), steals (6-5), and three-point shooting percentage (46% compared to TCU’s 35%).
Senior forward Jade Masogayo led Colorado with a career-high 23 points along with three rebounds, two steals, and an assist while drawing nine fouls and converting nine of ten free throws.
