BOULDER, Colo. (AP) - Aari McDonald scored 11 of her 32 points in the fourth quarter and Arizona set a program record with its 11th straight win, 69-67 over Colorado on Friday night.
The Wildcats (12-1, 2-0 Pac-12) took the lead for good when Sam Thomas took advantage of a broken inbounds play and scored a layup to cap the scoring with 35.1 seconds left.
The Buffaloes (10-3, 0-2) got offensive rebounds on two missed 3-point attempts on their final possession, the second setting up an inbounds play with 1.8 seconds left. But Peanut Tuitele missed a layup attempt and Arizona survived a fourth quarter in which neither team led by more than three.
