Colorado Women Score 5th Highest Total In Program History

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Kennedy Leonard scored 19 points and No. 21 Colorado had seven players score in double figures in a 112-54 victory over Southeastern Louisiana on Wednesday.

It was just Colorado's second 100-point game in 15 years, and tied for the fifth highest-scoring game in program history.

Leonard made six of her nine field-goal attempts in the first half and scored 14 points as Colorado jumped out to a 52-23 lead. Brecca Thomas hit an open pull-up jumper to put Colorado over the century mark with 2:40 left.

The Buffs entered The Associated Press poll this week for its first national ranking since Jan. 13, 2014.

Colorado (7-0), which beat No. 17 Kentucky 79-69 earlier this month, blocked 16 shots against SE Louisiana — including three apiece by Zoe Beard-Fails and Makenzie Ellis.

Charliee Dugas led SE Louisiana (2-4) with 12 points. Taylin Underwood, coming off a career-high 35-point game on Friday, was held to nine points on 3-of-12 shooting.
