Sophomore Whitney Sutak racked up a career-high 16 points, scoring 13 in the second half alone. Sutak went 5-of-9 from the line, 2-of-4 from the 3-point line and 4-4 from the free-throw line. Junior Lauren Beckman recorded her second double-double of the season, posting 15 points and 12 rebounds. Beckman shot 7-of-11 from the field and added three blocked shots. Utah went 25-of-60 (42 percent) from the field, 6-of-22 (27 percent) from three-point range and 11-of-13 (85 percent) from the free-throw line.
For the Lady Griz, Linda Cummings and Lauren Cooper combined for 26 of Montana's 49 points. Cummings went 2-for-9 from the field and 11-of-13 from the free-throw line. Cooper shot 4-of-11 from the field and 2-of-3 from behind the arc. Simarron Schildt led the Lady Griz with seven boards. Montana shot just 28 percent from the field (14-of-51), 28 percent from behind the arc (5-of-18) and 73 percent from the free-throw line (16-of-22).
"This was a really great game," said Head Coach Elaine Elliott. "It was nip and tuck the whole way and Montana was a good enough team, that they could have won the game as well. I was very pleased that we managed to make some plays in the last six minutes of the game to secure the win," said Elliott.
