The No. 1 women’s basketball team at Stanford lost on Sunday for the first time this season, dropping 77-72 in overtime in Colorado, while the Buffaloes recorded their first victory against a top team.

This was the Buffaloes’ fifth win in 26 games with Stanford and their first since Colorado became a member of the Pac-12 in 2011-12. They were 0-16 previously against the cardinal in the Pac-12 game.

The last time Colorado defeated Stanford was in Sweet 16 in 2002, when the Buffaloes were still in the Big 12.

Senior Mya Hollingshed led Colorado (6-6, 4-5 Pac-12) with 32 points and 10 career rebounds.

Lexie Hull had 19 points to lead Stanford (11-1, 8-1). Haley Jones, who missed the Cardinal’s victory in Utah on Friday for an unknown reason, returned to the starting lineup and had 16 points.

This was the second consecutive season Stanford lost to a non-ranked team in 1st place.
