ABOUT THE COWGIRLS
Wyoming (10-10, 6-5 MW) has won 4-of-5 of late and is coming off a 75-54 win Wednesday night over San Jose State in Laramie. The Cowgirls made a season-high 12 3-pointers in the victory and held the Spartans to just 29 points in the final three quarters.

Quinn Weidemann, who now is just 23 points shy of becoming the 27th member of the 1,000-Point Club in program history, paced the Cowgirls with 18 points in the win over the Spartans. Weidemann went 6-of-9 from the floor and hit 5-of-7 from 3-point range. Weidemann sits in ninth on the career made 3-pointers list at UW with 174 while her 40.1-percent 3-point shooting is fourth-best all-time.

The Cowgirls had a balanced offensive attack in Wednesday night’s win as two other Cowgirls, McKinley Bradshaw and Alba Sanchez Ramos, scored in double figures with 13 and 10 points, respectively.
