The No.1-ranked Stanford women’s basketball team lost for the first time this season on Sunday, losing 77-72 in overtime to Colorado as the Buffaloes posted their first-ever victory against a top-ranked team.

It was the Buffaloes’ fifth win in 26 games with Stanford and their first since Colorado joined the Pac-12 in 2011-12. They were 0-16 previously against the Cardinal in the Pac-12 game.

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

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

Lexie Hull had 19 points to lead Stanford (11-1, 8-1). Haley Jones, who missed the Cardinal’s victory in Utah on Friday for an undisclosed reason, returned to the starting lineup and tallied 16 points.

It was the second season in a row Stanford lost to a team unranked as No.1.
