BOULDER, Colo. (AP) Kennedy Leonard scored 19 points and No. 21 Colorado had seven players score in double figures in a 112-54 victory over Southeastern Louisiana on Wednesday.

It was just Colorado's second 100-point game in 15 years, and tied for the fifth highest-scoring game in program history.

Leonard made six of her nine field-goal attempts in the first half and scored 14 points as Colorado jumped out to a 52-23 lead. Brecca Thomas hit an open pull-up jumper to put Colorado over the century mark with 2:40 left.

The Buffs entered The Associated Press poll this week for its first national ranking since Jan. 13, 2014.
