The Wyoming Cowgirls would love to have a few of the 11 missed free throws back, after falling to BYU 51-48 Saturday at the Marriott Center in Provo, Utah.
The cowgirls (7-6 MWC, 16-9) led by two points with just over a minute left, but the Cougars (9-3, 18-6) made the plays down the stretch for the win.
“We left too many plays on the floor tonight,” UW head coach Joe Legerski said. “Give BYU credit, they made a couple of plays down the stretch to gain a win."
Junior Aubrey Vandiver led the way for the Cowgirls with her 14th double-double of the season, with 20 points and 11 rebounds. Emma Langford followed with 15 points.
"Aubrey played with great effort tonight," Legerski said. "To compete for 40 minutes in a highly physical game, speaks of her competitiveness.”
It was a tough game offensively for the Cowgirls all around. Wyoming shot just 28 percent from the field (12 of 43) and were 17 of 28 from the free-throw line.
BYU had four players in double-figures, led by Haley Hall with 12 points and six rebounds. Mindy Bonham and Coriann Wood each had 11, while Jazmine Foreman added 10. The Cougars shot 19-of-52 (.365) from the field and 6-of-15 (.400) from beyond the arc.
The Cowgirls will be off until next Feb. 28, as they host the Utah Utes. The game time is set for 2 p.m. and will be broadcast on The Mountain Sports Network.
