Boulder, Colo. — If it wasn't Britt Hartshorn making baskets inside, it was Kate Fagan nailing three-pointers. When Linda Lappe wasn't hitting key shots, Sabrina Scott was.
Hartshorn scored 16 of her 22 points in the second half, outdueling Iowa State's Angie Welle, and No. 20 Colorado beat the No. 14 Cyclones 86-73 on Wednesday night.
Lappe added 15 points for the Buffaloes, and Fagan had 13. Scott had 12 points and 10 rebounds.
"That's what good teams do," Iowa State coach Bill Fennelly said. "Every time they needed a basket from somebody else, they seemed to get it."
CU (14-6, 4-3 Big 12) posted its fourth straight win after opening conference play with three losses.
Welle, in foul trouble for portions of the game, finished with 12 points, eight below her season average. Lindsey Wilson had 23 points and Tracy Gahan 18 for Iowa State (14-5, 2-5), which dropped to 0-3 in conference road games.
