The Wyoming Cowboys put together a decent week this week. They competed in the Sun Bowl Classic this week in El Paso, TX.  They won their first game with a come from behind victory over the Buffalo Bulls, 66-63. Brad Jones and Brandon Ewing led the Cowboy scorers, and with Jones's three free throws at the end of the game, that was all for the Bulls. The next night the Cowboys took on the hosting UTEP Miners and were not as fortunate as the hometown boys ran away with the title game, 79-73. Brad Jones again led the Cowboys in scoring, but it wasn't enough to take home the tournament title. The Cowboys are off until after the break, but will be back in action December 29th in Laramie against Wisconsin-Milwaukee, a perennial in the Big Dance. 

 

The Cowgirls were also in action this week as they continued their dominating ways by beating the Northern Colorado Bears 68-37. The Bears were overmatched from the beginning and the slaughter didn't stop until the final whistle. The Cowgirls were led by Hanna Zavecz en route to victory. The Cowgirls also defeated Westminster College handily, 73-35. The Griffins were no match for the ranked Cowgirls. A nice tuneup before the break. The Cowgirls will be back in action January 3 as they will take on San Francisco, in California.
