The Stanford women’s basketball team, which was ranked first, lost for the first time on Sunday and fell 77-72 in overtime in Colorado, while the Buffaloes scored their first victory over a team.

It was the Buffaloes’ fifth win in 26 meetings with Stanford and their first since Colorado became a member of the Pac-12 in 2011-12. They were previously 0-16 against the Cardinal in Pac-12 play.

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

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

Lexie Hull led 19 points for 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.

It was the second consecutive season that Stanford faced an unhealthy team as no. 1 lost.
