LARAMIE, Wyo. – The University of Denver women's basketball team couldn't overcome a late-game run from Wyoming on Saturday, falling 79-67 in the Arena-Auditorium.

- Sam Deem had a career-high eight points.
- Anna Jackson with a season-high eight points.
- DU dropped to 1-1 on the year when leading at the half.

Quotable:
"I thought Uju came off the bench and gave us some good minutes. We have to get much better at guarding the paint. Overall, I thought there were some positive things we did out there. It was nice to see Anna finding her shot today. We still have work to do defensively and we will be back at it tomorrow in practice." – Head Coach Doshia Woods
