WNIT

The Wyoming Cowgirls will head to the next round of the WNIT after beating the Seattle Redhawks 68-52. Here is a photo gallery from the evening.

Despite a less than impressive Mountain West Tournament, both the Wyoming Cowboys and Cowgirls have more basketball to play this season.

Behind three players in double figures, the Northern Colorado Bears stunned the Wyoming Cowgirls 71-63 Thursday night in the first round of the WNIT at the Arena-Auditorium. Northern Colorado knocked down 12-of-15 free throws in the final 4:25 to hold on for the victory. The Bears tied a school record with their 21st win of the season.

The Wyoming Cowgirls are back in the post-season in 2013. For the seventh time in school history, UW received an invitation to the Women’s National Invitation Tournament (WNIT) on Monday evening. Wyoming will host the Northern Colorado Bears, on Thursday, March 21, in a WNIT First Round Game at 7 p.m. This is the fifth time in the last eight years Wyoming has made an appearance in the WNIT.

Hot shooting propelled the Colorado Buffaloes to a 70-58 victory over the Wyoming Cowgirls in the Third Round of the WNIT Thursday night at the Arena-Auditorium.

Crunch time is when you want your best players to step up.  That's exactly what happened Monday night, as Seniors Aubrey Vandiver and Hillary Carlson scored the 18 of the last 19 points in the Wyoming Cowgirls 75-71 victory over Oklahoma State Cowgirls in the Second Round of the WNIT at the Arena-Auditorium Monday night.

Oklahoma State sophomore standout, Toni Young, suffered a season-ending arm injury in practice Friday.  Young broke her arm while falling to the ground following a two-handed dunk during OSU's practice inside Gallagher-Iba Arena. This certainly changes things for the Cowgirl basketball team, both of them.

Wyoming and BYU are the only Mountain West Conference teams to move on to the second round of the Women's National Invitation Tournament (WNIT) as TCU lost to Oral Roberts, 78-74, on Thursday night in Fort Worth.
