Box Score The Colorado College women's basketball team opened its 2015-16 season in Denver against Johnson & Wales University on Monday evening. The Tigers were unable to come away with the road victory, falling to the Wildcats 93-73.
 
Senior Danielle Davis led CC with 15 points and a pair of assists. Junior Korbyn Ukasick and freshman Casey Torbet also scored in double-figures with 10 points apiece.

Johnson & Wales (4-1) came back with a 21-4 run that was sparked when Vanessa Maestas made a free throw with 9:22 left in the first quarter. That run proved to be all the Wildcats would need to hold onto the victory.
