SALT LAKE CITY -
Freshman point guard Kelsy Stireman heated up for a career-best 28 points to lead the University of Utah women's basketball team to an 82-63 win over Pacific, Wednesday in the Huntsman Center. Stireman's shooting clinic was the best by a Ute freshman since Julie Krommenhoek poured in 34 points as a freshman back in the 1994-95 season.
"The thing I loved the most about Kelsy," said Ute head coach Elaine Elliott, "Was the intensity she brought to the court. When they really pushed us, we needed a more competitive response and Kelsy gave us that."
Utah, which improved to 5-0 with the win, needed all of Stireman's 15 first half points to keep UOP (2-3) from pulling away early. The Utes misfired on 11 of their first 12 field goal attempts, including eight layups that rolled in and out. But the rookie point guard from Ogden, Utah (Bonneville HS) , who finished the night shooting 11 of 15 from the field, spearheaded a run that saw Utah hit 10 of its next 18 shots.
Utah trailed 10-3 in the opening minutes before settling in and eventually tying the game at 10-10 on a 3-point field goal by Stireman. The Utes never trailed again. Senior Kristina Andersen added 19 points and nine rebounds for Utah and Amy Ewert dished off a career-high eight assists. Lauren Beckman chipped in 11 points, six rebounds and three blocked shots.
Utah continues its seven-game home stand this Saturday, hosting Boise State at 3 p.m. in the Huntsman Center.
