Senior wing Paige Crozon finished with a double-double scoring 12 points while grabbing 10 rebounds. Junior wing Tanaeya Boclair led the Utes (2-0, 0-0 Pac-12) with 16 points. Junior forward Emily Potter was the second leading scorer for the Utes with 15 points while pulling down eight rebounds and swatting four shots.
"I'm never going to worry about Paige (Crozon), she's a stud. She bounded back and shot for 12 points," head coach Lynne Roberts said about her senior. "I thought Daneesha Provo did well too. She came in and brought some life to the first half. Saturday she looked nervous and today I think she looked like what we're going to see this season."
Fresno State (1-1, 0-0 MWC) pulled out to a 4-0 lead after Utah started the game 0-for-10 from the floor, but the Utes came back with a 10-0 run for the lead.

Back-to-back defensive efforts results in five points for the Utes after steals from junior wing Malia Nawahine and Crozon. Nawahine drove and dished the ball to freshman guard Kiana Moore for an and-one while Crozon drove to the basket for two points. Fresno State ended the first half with an 8-0 run to close the gap with the Utes leads 31-26 at the break.
Junior wing Daneesha Provo picked up six points in six minutes on 3-3 shooting from the floor while Crozon led the Utes at the half with 7 points and 6 rebounds.
Potter grabbed her second steal of the game as Bean drove the ball dishing out to Boclair for a layup at the Ute's sixth-straight points to open the third quarter for a 37-28 lead. Utah continued offensively with an 11-0 run before the Bulldogs knocked down a pair for free throws.
The Bulldogs came back with an a 9-0 run, but Provo knocks down a 3-pointer before the end of the third quarter to keep the Utes ahead, 45-37.
