Haleigh Timmer added 13 points for SDSU, followed by Paige Meyer with seven. Mesa Byom recorded five rebounds and dished a team-high four assists. Kallie Theisen posted six rebounds and three steals.
The Jackrabbits trailed the Pioneers 12-11 after the opening 10 minutes, then outscored Denver 68-30 over the final three quarters. SDSU was a blistering 26-of-37 (70 percent) in the last 30 minutes. The Jackrabbits connected on 10-of-21 3-point attempts, finishing with at least 10 3-pointers for the second straight game.
The teams traded the lead eight times in the first half before the Jackrabbits were able to pull away with a 9-0 run in the second quarter to lead 22-14. SDSU ended the second quarter with six straight points, then started the third with an 8-0 run to make it 39-22. Mathiowetz had eight points during the 14-0 stretch. Brooklyn Meyer scored seven points during a 13-point stretch to start the fourth quarter, making it a 32-point game at 64-32.
