Senior point guard, Amber Orrange, set a new career high Saturday night, as she scored 26 points in a 62-55 win over the Colorado Buffalos. Lili Thompson added 17 points, as the Cardinal earned their first win of 2015 and of the Pac-12 portion of their schedule.

The Cardinal entered half time with a seven-point lead, which the Buffaloes eliminated with ten minutes to go in the contest. The Cardinal came back to take the lead with a 5-0 run of their own, which kicked off a 19-12 run to end the game.

Jamee Swan came off of the bench for a double double, leading the Buffs in scoring with 12 and rebounds with ten. She also finished the night perfect from the free throw line (6/6).  Jen Reese capped off the double-digit scorers for Colorado with ten.

The Cardinal did a great job defensively, holding Colorado to just 34% from the field and 10% from beyond the three-point line.

Stanford will host Utah Monday night to end their first Pac-12 homestand of the year.

With the career high, Orrange also moved past Joslyn Tinkle and Jillian Harmon on Stanford’s all-time scoring list.
