After the Cowgirls (16-10, 10-4 MW) answered with a pair of free throws, Tatum Thompson converted all four free throw attempts down the stretch to secure the win.

The Blue and Orange outscored Wyoming 20-6 in the fourth quarter, and held Wyoming to 1-of-11 shooting and forced 10 turnovers in the final frame.
