Vonleh's double-double lifts Colorado to 61-48 win over Oregon

JR Payne's Buffs bounce back against the Ducks on the road

CU Buffs

Aaronette Vonleh had 16 points and 10 rebounds as third-ranked Colorado rolled past Oregon 61-48 on Sunday afternoon.

A bounce back game for the Buffaloes (16-3, 6-2 Pac-12) who suffered a six-point loss at Oregon State late Friday night. JR Payne's team was pushed from being atop the conference standings, but will likely stay in the top five when the latest AP Top 25 rankings are released on Monday. They'll also remain in the conversation for a top seed in the NCAA Tournament ahead of the final month of the regular season.

Colorado jumped out to a 31-11 lead at halftime with Oregon going 0-for-14 from the field at one point in the first half. The Ducks (11-11, 2-7 Pac-12) surged back to make it interesting after the break, but the Buffs were already on cruise control. Grace VanSlooten led U of O with 16 points and eight rebounds. Phillipina Kyei chipped in a double-double with 12 points and 17 rebounds in a losing effort.

The Buffs went 27-for-78 (34.6%) from the field, including 4-for-18 from three-point range. Vonleh was the only player in double figures with nine points from Frida Formann and another eight added by Charlotte Whittaker.
