The Wyoming Cowgirls took care of business on Wednesday night at UNLV, knocking down 16-three pointers in an 82-72 win over the Lady Rebels.
Wyoming stayed aggressive from start to finish, knocking down the most three-point shots in school history, and the most since 2021.
Jane Rumpf made a career-high, six three pointers. Henna Sandvik made five. Malena Peterson had four. They shot 43 percent from deep in the first quarter, 55.5 percent in the second quarter, and 44.5 percent in the third. Wyoming cooled off in the fourth quarter, but the damage was done, as the Cowgirls improve to 6-9 in Mountain West play. Wyoming is now 9-15 overall.
The highlight reel started early and rolled throughout the first half.
Pedersen led UW and tied a season-high with 26 points on the night as the Cowgirls picked up their first road win in Las Vegas in five seasons.
Wyoming lost to UNLV last month in Laramie 82-53. Last night’s turnaround performance comes after the Cowgirls lost at CSU by 29 points on Saturday.
Head Coach Heather Ezell framed last night’s win and turn-around performance this way:
The Cowgirls return home to host Boise State at 2 p.m., Saturday in Laramie.
