ABOUT THE COWGIRLS
Wyoming closed its road slate Saturday with a loss at Mountain West champion San Diego State. Jane Rumpf had a monster game against the Aztecs, exploding for a career-high 27 points on 8-of-13 shooting and went 6-of-10 from 3-point range. Since becoming a starter the last 16 games, Rumpf is averaging 11.1 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game while shooting nearly 36-percent from 3-point range and is making 2.7 3-pointers per game during that stretch.

Rumpf and Heidur Karlsdottir are first and third, respectively in the league during conference play averaging 1.7 and 1.7 blocks per game, respectively.
