Molina sparks Cougars

PULLMAN — Chanelle Molina scored 23 of her game-high 27 points in the second half as Washington State erased a 15-point second half deficit to beat Colorado 69-59 in front of 747 at Beasley Coliseum on Friday.

The comeback is tied for the third-largest in program history. The Cougars also battled back from 15 down to beat Oregon on March 5, 2010. Washington State (11-12, 4-7 Pac-12) remains in a three-way tie for seventh in the conference.

Molina became the first player in program history with over 1,000 points, 400 rebounds and 400 assists in their career.

Bella Murekatete, a freshman from Genesis Prep, had six points, one rebound, one assist and one steal for Washington State.

Mya Hollingshed scored 18 points for Colorado (14-8, 3-8).

Washington State hosts Utah on Sunday at noon.
