The Wyoming Cowgirls must wait to find out who they play but they are onto the Super 16 of the WNIT after downing UTSA 80 to 64 Sunday afternoon in the Arena Auditorium.
The Cowgirls are now 3-and-0 all-time against the Roadrunners. Yesterday’s game was the first time the two squads had met since the 1988-89 regular season. The two squads also played in San Diego in the 1989-1990 regular season.
The Cowgirls came out on fire from deep, hitting eight of their first 13 shot shots from three-point range.
The Cowgirls got off to a fantastic start, hitting back-to-back three pointers to start the game. They led 45-to-20 at the half. UTSA fought back in the second half, but the Cowgirls had built too much a lead for the Roadrunners to overcome.
Wyoming ended the game shooting 28-of-61 (46-percent) and hit 9-of-26 from beyond-the-arc.
Who, when or where Wyoming plays next is unknown. The Cowgirls won’t know who their opponent is until after Tuesday night when South Dakota and Northern Arizona. The date and venue will be decided after that.
