Colorado women’s basketball’s top 10 all-time leading scorers
In the nearly 50-year history of Colorado women’s basketball, 32 players have scored at least 1,000 points and two have eclipsed 2,000 during their careers.
That number should soon reach 33, however, with Buffs senior point guard Jaylyn Sherrod nearing the mark in what could be her final season in Boulder. Likewise, junior guard Frida Formann is over the 800-point mark thanks to her 3-point shooting abilities.
The 2022-23 Buffs are rewriting the record books in a variety of areas and are likely to reach the NCAA Tournament in consecutive seasons for the first time in almost 20 years.
Look back at the top 10 scorers in CU women’s hoops history:
