Salt Lake City - The University of Utah women?s basketball team rolled in Mountain West Conference play with an impressive 84-46 win over Wyoming, at home on Thurs., Jan. 20. Utah is currently 12-4 overall, 3-0 in the MWC. Wyoming drops to 6-9 overall, 0-2 in the MWC.
Junior Kristina Andersen led the Utes, tying a career-high 17 points, shooting 5-of-6 from the field, 3-of-4 from behind the arc and a perfect 4-of-4 from the free-throw line. Junior Amy Ewert totaled 10 points, making most of her points from the free-throw line (6-of-6). Ewert was once again Utah?s defensive stud, holding Wyoming?s Carrie Bacon to just three attempts and five points in the game. Ewert racked up five assists and five steals. Teammate Lindsay Sodja posted 10 points, while Lauren Beckman, Tiana Fuertes and Carley Marshall each added eight points. Fuertes had a great game, with nine assists and zero turnovers. Katherine McColl and Marshall led the Utes on the boards, with seven rebounds each. All 13 players saw time in the game and scored for the Utes. As a team, Utah shot 44 percent from the field (27-of-61), 53 percent from behind the arc (8-of-15) and 76 percent (22-of-29) from the free-throw line.
For the Cowgirls, Carly Stucky and Ann McColl led the team with 10 points apiece. Christy Bacon totaled eight points and led the team with seven rebounds. Wyoming had 29 turnovers in the game, compared to Utah?s 15. Wyoming shot 34 percent from the field (17-of-50), just 18 percent from the 3-point line (3-of-17) and 75 percent from the free-throw line (9-of-12).
?Wyoming played extremely hard, I thought they were very physical. We were able to get some good looks and defend them pretty well in the half court. We didn?t give them a lot of early offensive opportunities and they struggled to score in the half court set. I loved Tiana?s floor play tonight, she gave us nine assists and no turnovers. We need that kind of solid play from her. Amy Ewert did a phenomenal job again. She held the Bacon kid to three attempts in the whole game. Kristina Andersen had a nice offensive night. I thought that a lot of players made some nice contributions in the game tonight,? said Elliott.
