Cowgirl basketball

For the first time in school history, the University of Wyoming has had a women's and men's basketball player earn preseason player of the year honors in the same year.

For a second straight year, University of Wyoming senior Kayla Woodward has been selected the Mountain West pre-season women's basketball player of the year.

Eight teams that played in the postseason highlight the 2014-15 Wyoming Cowgirls basketball schedule released last Friday.

The Wyoming Cowgirls are losing two players from the program. It was announced Friday that sophomores Fatima Thiam and Whitney Gordon will not be returning to the team next season.

For the first time in her career, University of Wyoming junior forward Kayla Woodward was named to the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) All-Region VII squad Tuesday.

Behind 23 points from Marquelle Dent, the Wyoming Cowgirls topped the Boise State Broncos 61-56 Tuesday in the Quarterfinals of the Reese's Mountain West Women's Basketball Championships in Las Vegas.

The Wyoming Cowgirls hit the floor in Vegas Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. MST to begin their Mountain West Conference Tournament.

Wyoming junior forward Kayla Woodward was one of two Cowgirls to earn recognition Sunday, as the Mountain West Conference announced its 2014 All-Conference team and individual award winners.
