Stanford’s No. 1 women’s basketball team lost for the first time this season Sunday and fell 77-72 in overtime to Colorado as the Buffaloes got their first win over a top-tier team.

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

The last time Colorado won at Stanford was in the Sweet 16 of 2002, when the Buffaloes were still in the Big 12.

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

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

This was the second consecutive season Stanford lost to an unclassified team as No. 1.
