SAN DIEGO - The Utes overcame a wealth of turnovers in the first half and shot 57 percent from the floor in the second half to post a 64-42 win over the San Diego State Aztecs Thursday night at Cox Arena.
Lindsay Sodja led all scorers with a season-high 14 points, getting all but two in a big second half for the Utes. Sodja made 6-of-8 field goals, including 2-of-3 from behind the arc, and also had four rebounds in 15 minutes off the bench.

Kristina Andersen led the Utes with a career-high tying nine rebounds. She also joined Katherine McColl and Erin Gibbons in scoring seven points.
The Utes made 15-of-26 field goals in the second half and shot 54.3 percent for the game. The Utes also had a commanding 45 to 30 edge on the boards and limited San Diego State to 29.8 percent shooting from the floor. Utah shot 4-for-7 from three-point range (57.1%) in the second half.
Claire Swinbank led SDSU (6-16, 3-7 WAC) with 10 points and got four of her teams' 15 steals against the Utes. Mary Apiafi had a game-high 11 rebounds and seven points for the Aztecs.
Utah scored the only two points in the first three and a half minutes of the game. Once both teams got the offenses cranking, the Utes surged out to a 13-point lead (22-9) on a bank shot by Beckman with 8:20 remaining in the half. Utah, averaging 16.4 turnovers a game on the season, had 16 in the first 20 minutes of play.
The Utes led 35-26 with 16:48 to play before scoring just one basket over the next 5:43 to allow the Aztecs back within two points. Anita Bundage made one of two free throws to close the gap to 37-36 with 11:03 remaining. Utah then rattled off a 21-2 run over the next 8:35 keyed by two three-pointers and another jumper by Sodja, to take a 58-38 lead with 2:28 remaining.
Utes Hold Off Last Second Flurry To Win At Hawai'I Wahines miss on final possession to give Women's hoops the win.
HONOLULU -- Hawai'i could not convert on its last possession in the final seconds as Utah posted a 46-44 on the road Saturday night in front of 4,561 fans at the Stan Sheriff Center in Honolulu.
After the Rainbow Wahine missed several close in shots in the final 30 seconds, Utah's Lauren Beckman got the rebound but was called for traveling as time seemingly expired. Five-tenths of a second were put back on the clock as Hawai'i got one more chance. Ki'i Spencer-Vasconcellos attempted a 15-foot jumper from the right corner off the ensuing inbounds play that caught the iron but rolled off as the buzzer sounded. The win was Utah's ninth straight, allowing the Utes to sweep the season series from Hawai'i.
Erin Gibbons came off the bench to score 14 points to lead the Utes. Gibbons made 5-of-9 field goals and 4-of-6 from three-point range in 26 minutes. Honolulu native Tiana Fuertes, playing in front of a large cheering section, had eight points. Lauren Beckman also scored eight points and led the Utes with six rebounds.
Raylene Howard, the WAC's third-leading scorer, had a game-high 17 points. Crystal Lee added nine in the losing effort for Hawai'i. Utah controlled the boards with a 33 to 26 advantage and outshot UH 47.5 to 34.5 percent. Hawai'i did manage to force Utah into 25 turnovers and got 15 steals.
The Utes broke out to a 29-18 halftime lead, shooting 60 percent in the first 20 minutes and making 5-of-7 three-pointers. The Utes shot 58.3 percent (7-of-12) from behind the arc for the game. The Rainbow Wahine got back in the game when Utah went scoreless for a five and a half minute stretch early in the second half, narrowing what was once a 12-point margin to 34-31 with 12:56 to play. Lee made a layup to tie the game at 44 with 2:01 left. The game-deciding basket was a putback by Lori Red with 1:28 remaining.
