ABOUT THE COWGIRLS
Wyoming (3-2) will have a week off since the last time it played, a 78-32 victory over Chadron State last Tuesday in the annual Education Day game. The Cowgirls were impressive in the victory which came in front of 7,550 fans, a regular-season attendance record. Wyoming scored 54 points in the paint in the win, its most points inside in a game since scoring 56 in January of 2015 in a victory over San Jose State.
The Cowgirls’ first 24 points in the game, that didn’t come at the free-throw line, came in the paint against the Eagles. All 15 Cowgirls saw action in the win, with 12 scoring. Marta Savic led the way as she recorded her first-career double-double. Savic scored a career-best 16 points on 7-of-11 shooting and pulled down a season-high 11 rebounds while coming off the bench. The Cowgirls got 41 points from their reserves against Chadron and are now averaging 25.6 points per game from their bench. That mark is the third-best in the league currently.
