The Wildcats played Colorado close throughout the contest, forcing 25 turnovers and getting strong performances from Sumayah Sugapong, who scored 11 points in the first quarter, and Noelani Cornfield, who had six steals. Despite leading 29-28 at one point and only trailing by one at halftime, Arizona couldn't maintain momentum in the final period.
Colorado capitalized on Arizona's late-game miscues to secure the victory, improving their record while the Wildcats continue to search for consistency after their recent loss to Arizona State.
