Balance leads Utah women past Colorado 76-68

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) - Emily Potter led a balanced attack with 13 points and six blocks and Utah closed the game on a 12-5 run to defeat Colorado for the second time in four days, 76-68 on Sunday.

Danielle Rodriguez and Joeseta Fatuesi had 12 each and Malia Nawahine and Katie Kuklok 10 apiece for the Utes (14-9, 6-6 Pac-12). The Utes also had five in double figures Thursday when they won 71-55 at home.

Jamee Swan had 24 points for the Buffaloes (6-17, 1-11) and Alexis Robinson 13.

Colorado led most of the way until Potter had back-to-back baskets to put Utah up 64-61. Kennedy Leonard made it a one-point game with 6:21 to play but Kuklok hit a 3, Rodriguez a layup and Paige Crozon had a 3 to make it 72-63 with 2:54 to play.

The Buffaloes made just two of their last 12 shots after Leonard's basket.
