BOULDER, Colo. (AP) - Jenny Roulier was 5-of-5 from beyond the arc and totaled 21 points, and Tera Bjorklund added 18 as No. 13 Colorado downed Missouri 78-47 Wednesday night.

Colorado (19-7, 9-4 Big 12) forced 29 turnovers and limited Missouri (14-9, 5-7) to a season-low point total. Missouri, which hasn't won in Boulder since Feb. 7, 1990, shot 28 percent.

Evan Unrau led Missouri with 13 points but injured her right hand early in the second half. She was to have an X-ray on Thursday.

Roulier went 3-for-3 on 3-pointers and had 13 points in the first half as Colorado built a 32-21 lead.

Unrau gave Missouri a 4-0 lead, but the Tigers then went into a 2-for-16 shooting slump. Roulier scored 10 points in a 22-4 Colorado run to put the Buffaloes up 22-8.

Kerensa Barr scored four of her 11 points in the first four minutes of the second half and Missouri stayed within 11 points. But Roulier broke the game open with seven points in a 13-0 run to put Colorado ahead 52-28 with 12:00 left.

Tracy Lozier ended the Missouri drought with a 3-pointer, but it was nearly three minutes before the Tigers scored again.

Bjorklund's rebound basket made it a 63-35 with 6:56 left.
