Cowgirls basketball drops season opener to Santa Clara

LARAMIE — University of Wyoming women's basketball started its season with an 84-50 loss to Santa Clara on Monday night inside the Arena-Auditorium. The Cowgirls finished 16-of-55 (31%) from the field and 4-of-13 (31%) from deep while losing 14 turnovers. The Broncos were 32-of-64 (50%) and 12-of-27 (44%). "The biggest thing to what we're about is, 'How do we respond?'" Cowgirls coach Heather Ezell said. "That's going to be a big one right now. You can mope about, you can hang your heads. We should be pissed. That's something you want to be, but it's going, 'How can we learn from it? How can you grow from it and be able to get better?' "We're going to watch film and we're going to be able to see our stuff. You can either get embarrassed by seeing clips, or you can take it personal and get better." Norah Clark led UW with 16 points, but she was just 3-of-16 from the field. Clark was 9-of-9 from the free-throw line while leading the Cowgirls with seven rebounds.
