SALT LAKE CITY - The University of Utah women's basketball team got 14 points apiece from Lauren Beckman, Amy Ewert and Lindsay Sodja in an 81-46 exhibition win over visiting Lokomotiva Bratislava-Slovakia in the Huntsman Center.
Head Ute Coach Elaine Elliott substituted freely in the romp and all 13 players scored. The Utes were never threatened, except perhaps with injury, against the rough playing Slovakian team. With 15 minutes remaining in the game, Slovakia had 21 points and 19 fouls.
"They held and grabbed, but it's good for us in the sense that we need to learn to be physical in that kind of game," said Elliott, "But it was hard to feel like we were doing anything cleanly. We needed to play everyone because there are a lot of kids who are playing pretty evenly in practice right now. No one is jumping out and demanding to play 30 minutes."
Beckman chipped in five rebounds and four blocked shots to go with her 14 points, while Sodja, a Taylorsville High product, tied Beckman for rebounding and scoring honors.
The Utes led 36-14 at the half, despite shooting just 39 percent. They improved to 64 percent in the second half, keying a 45-point half. Slovakia shot 32 percent for the game from the field.
Exhibition game is a huge success.
