PULLMAN, WASH. (AP) -- Jen Reese had a double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds to help Colorado come back and beat Washington State 57-56 on Saturday.

Chucky Jeffery added 12 points and Julie Seabrook 11 as the Buffaloes (13-1, 2-1 Pac-12) snapped the Cougars' three-game winning streak.

Jazmine Perkins had 15 points and three steals while Rosetta Adzasu added nine points and six steals for Washington State (9-7, 3-1). Perkins was the only Cougar to score in double figures.

After trailing by 11 points in the second half, Colorado tied the game at 56 on Lexy Kresl's put-back.

Meagan Malcolm-Peck was fouled on the Buffaloes' next possession and made one free throw to give Colorado a 57-56 edge with 11 seconds left. Perkins had a wide-open shot as time expired, but it fell short.

Washington State had 14 steals and forced 22 Colorado turnovers.
