LOGAN, Utah – Utah State women's basketball lost to Colorado State, 72-54, on Wednesday morning at Moby Arena. 
 
Junior guard Mia Tarver and freshman guard Elise Livingston kicked off the Aggie offense with a pair of 3-pointers from the left corner as Utah State fought the Rams to a standstill in the early going. Senior guard Cheyenne Stubbs hit a trio of jumpers late in the opening frame to help give USU the lead before a Rams 3-pointer in the final minute of the quarter began an 18-0 run for CSU to take control of the contest. The Aggies fought back from the deficit, closing the half on a 9-4 stretch capped off by freshman guard/forward Taliyah Logwood connecting on a buzzer-beater from well beyond half court. 
 
USU continued to battle in the second half, trimming the Rams' lead to eight points on multiple occasions in the third quarter. Each time the Aggies threatened to draw closer, however, CSU answered to restore a double-digit lead en route to the 72-54 final score.
 
Stubbs led the Aggies with 17 points while going 6-for-6 from the free throw line. Logwood finished with 12 points alongside four rebounds and a team-high three steals. Livingston and junior center Sophie Sene tied for the team lead with five rebounds apiece, while Tarver added eight points and  four rebounds.
