BOULDER, Colo. (AP) Sophie Brunner scored 16 points, Quinn Dornstauder added 13 more while hauling in 12 rebounds and No. 19 Arizona State rolled to a 71-52 win over Colorado on Sunday.

The Sun Devils (12-3, 3-1 Pac-12) opened the game with a 10-2 run and never trailed, shooting 44 percent from the field and controlling the boards 49-30 to win their third straight. Reili Richardson's 3-pointer with just over two minutes left in the opening half made it 34-22 and Arizona State led by double figures the rest of the way.

Richardson finished with 14 points.

After falling behind early, Colorado (11-4, 1-3) chipped away at the deficit and got a 3-pointer from Kennedy Leonard to tie the score at 12 with 1:28 left in the first quarter. Brunner then sank a pair of free throws to put Arizona State back in front for good.

Leonard led Colorado with 25 points and Haley Smith had 10.
