DENVER—Powered by a 20-point run in the first half, Northern Colorado women's basketball defeated in-state foe Denver, 77-68, inside the Hamilton Gymnasium on Friday.
Down 13-6 in the first quarter, Northern Colorado (2-0) connected on four straight 3-pointers in the waning moments of the opener and never looked back en route to their second win to start the season.
Delaynie Byrne connected on two of the four 3-pointers with teammates Hannah Simental and Sydney Stensgard also adding to the long-distance barrage.
Byrne went on to tally a game-high 22 points on an efficient 7 of 9 performance from the floor and 5 of 6 conversion from the free throw line.
One point back, Simental finished with a 21-point night boosted by a 7 of 8 show from the charity stripe.
The Bears will travel out of state next week with a pair of contests in Texas, beginning with a Nov. 15 contest at UTRGV.
