SALT LAKE CITY - Four players scored in double figures as the Utah women's basketball team defeated Division II Chadron State, 81-40, in exhibition on Friday, Nov. 6.
Kalee Whipple and Janita Badon each had 17 points to lead the Utes. Halie Sawyer had a double-double with 12 points and 19 rebounds. Freshman Taryn Wicijowski tallied 13 points with nine rebounds.
The Utes played all 12 players they had available. Players seeing their first collegiate action were Wicijowski, Iwalani Rodrigues, Rachel Messer, Chelsea Bridgewater, Rita Sitivi and Diana Rolniak.
"It's great to get started on another season," head coach Elaine Elliott said. "We played some new faces tonight and the more chances they have to play, the better they will be."
Although both teams started off a little slow, the Utes began to get their rhythm five minutes into the contest, going on an 11-2 run to take a 21-8 lead. Utah continued to pull away from there, leading by as many as 24 points in the half. Sawyer had a double-double by halftime with 12 points and 10 rebounds, while Badon had 12 points at the break.
Through the first 10 minutes of the second half, Utah outscored the Eagles 21-5. The Ute's largest lead was 42 points.
