Cowgirls Corral Bulldogs at Save Mart Center in Dominant Display
The Fresno State Bulldogs faced a challenging contest against the visiting Cowgirls, ending with a score of 69-47. The Bulldogs now stand with an additional loss to their record, while the Cowgirls notch another victory. The game unfolded at the Save Mart Center, where despite a fervent home crowd, the Bulldogs could not secure a win.
From the outset, the Cowgirls established dominance with an impressive 23 points in the first quarter compared to 14 by Fresno State. The home team struggled to find their rhythm throughout the game as they trailed behind in each quarter. By halftime, it was evident that catching up would be an uphill battle for Fresno State.
The statistics painted a clear picture of how both teams performed during this conference game. The Cowgirls showcased superior shooting accuracy with a field goal percentage of 54 percent and were particularly effective from beyond the arc hitting half of their three-point attempts. They also excelled inside, scoring 36 points in paint and securing 36 rebounds over four quarters.
Fresno State's efforts were led by their defense which managed eight steals but was overshadowed by lower shooting percentages across all categories: field goals at 32 percent and three-pointers at just 16 percent accuracy. Despite converting two-thirds of their free throws and fighting hard for every possession as evidenced by their second-chance points tallying up to eleven, they could not overcome Wyoming's offensive efficiency.
One notable aspect for Fresno State was its ability to maintain discipline regarding turnovers; they committed only eight compared to twelve from Wyoming. However, this did not translate into enough points off turnovers or fast break opportunities which remained low throughout the match.
As fans look forward to future games hoping for better outcomes, attention turns towards an upcoming encounter against Boise State Broncos on January 31st at Save Mart Center scheduled for a tip-off time of 6:00 PM Pacific Time. This will be another opportunity for fans to rally behind Fresno State as they seek redemption on their home court.
