UTAH TEAM NOTES
GAME #7 RECAP: Utah battled back from an eight-point second-half deficit on the road to defeat Washington State in overtime, 81-70, last Thursday night at Friel Court in Pullman, Wash. Freshman Erin Gibbons scored a game-high 22 points to lead the Utes. Tiana Fuertes had 15, making 3-of-7 three pointers, and six assists. Freshman Katherine McColl had 13 points, making all five of her shots from the field, and five boards. Kristi Rose contributed 10 points. Lauren Beckman, despite playing with a sprained ankle, had a double-double with 10 points and a game-high 10 rebounds.
Clutch free throw shooting won the game for the young Utes, who made their first 13 charity shots and went 17-for-20 from the line in the overtime period. All of Utah's 17 points in the extra period came at the free throw line. Lori Red, who finished with eight points, made two free throws with 3:20 to play and Gibbons sank both of her tries with 2:04 remaining to put Utah up 72-67. After Fuertes cashed in on two free throw attempts, Gibbons made two more to put the Utes up by nine, 76-67, with just over a minute to play. Gibbons sank 9-of-12 free throws and Fuertes went 4-for-4 from the line on the night.
Utahs 33-29 halftime lead dissolved when Washington State went on a 16-7 run in the first 6 minutes of the second half. The Cougars built an eight-point lead (58-50) with 6:45 to play in regulation before Utah scored seven unanswered points to get within one with just under five minutes to play in the second half. At the end of regulation, McColl tracked down a missed three-point try by Gibbons and was fouled on a weak-side put-back. She converted the three-point play to tie the game at 64-64 with 20.4 seconds left in regulation. The Cougars were denied on their final possession to send the game into overtime.
The win, Utahs first of the season in overtime, also gave the U. its first road win of the season. Utah outshot WSU 47.4 to 36.8 percent and had a 44 to 38 edge on the boards. The Utes shot 72.4 percent from the free throw line for the game.
GAME #8 RECAP: For the second game in a row, Erin Gibbons had a career-high scoring night to lead Utah to a second-half comeback as the Ute freshman scored 23 to lead Utah to a 72-55 win at Idaho on Saturday night in Moscow, Idaho. Gibbons, who shot 9-of-14 from the field and 2-of-5 from three-point range, got 15 of her points in the second half as the Utes outscored the Vandals 46-26 to hand them their first home loss in five games. Sophomore Kristina Andersen tossed in 13 points, going 5-for-10 to equal a career-best. She also grabbed seven rebounds. Tiana Fuertes had 11 points and five assists. Freshman Lauren Beckman had seven points, a career-high 13 boards and four blocked shots.
The Utes shot 64 percent in the second half to come back from a 29-26 halftime deficit. Utah outshot Idaho for the game 50.9 to 40.4 percent and had a 36 to 33 edge on the boards. Idaho, shooting 38 percent from three-point range entering the game, was limited to making just 1-of-9 (11.1 percent) from downtown by the Ute defense. After committing nine turnovers in the first half, the Utes had just six in the second half. Idaho committed 18 turnovers for the game.
Utah trailed by as many as seven points on two occasions in the first half and was down 49-45 with 9:38 to play in the game. However, the Utes outscored the Vandals 21-4 over the next seven minutes to take a 66-53 lead it would not relinquish.
ELLIOTT ELABORATES:
On the win over Washington State - I was very pleased with the way we came back after getting down in the second half. We kind of got on the kids at halftime to step up to the (free throw) line with some authority, and they did a nice job of that when it counted the most. They showed a lot of poise down the stretch. Kats (Katherine McColl) is just one of those pick-us-up players. She will bang inside, do all the dirty work and just finds a way to help us win.
On the win over Idaho - We wanted to get out on them and limit their three-point shooting the best that we could, and we didnt double down inside in order to do that. We did a nice job of defending the three, and our kids really did a good job of playing solid defense inside and rebounding, particularly in the second half. We did a much better job of settling down and focusing in the second half. We focused on making shots, and getting to loose balls and rebounds.

UTE HEAD COACH ELAINE ELLIOTT... is the winningest coach in Utah womens basketball history. Now in her 16th season as Utahs head coach after spending four years as an assistant coach at the U., Elliott has a 308-135 (.695) career record and a 149-39 mark in conference games. The Dean of the Western Athletic Conference coaches, Elliott has the longest tenure at her current institution and the most career wins among the leagues coaches. Elliott recorded her 300th career victory on Feb. 14, 1998 with a 67-53 win over Colorado State.
Elliott has had ten 20-win seasons and three 19-win campaigns, averaging 20 wins in 15 years at the U. Last season, she was honored as the WBCA District VII Coach of the Year and the WAC Mountain Division Co-Coach of the Year, leading Utah to its second-consecutive conference divisional title. Elliott was also named the WAC Mountain Division Coach of the Year in 1996-97, and recently led Utah to the WAC regular-season championship in 1996 and the WAC Tournament championship in 1995.
Elliott has coached teams to a total of four regular-season conference crowns (1986, 87, 89, 96), two divisional titles (1997, 98) and four league tournament championships (1989, 90, 91, 94). Eight of her teams have advanced to the NCAA Tournament (1986, 89, 90, 91, 95, 96, 97, 98).
ROSE SENDS EM BACK: Early in her junior season, 6-4 center Kristi Rose has already moved into third place in career blocked shots at Utah with 101. With two blocked shots at Bradley on Nov. 14, she tied Cindy Lindsay for third place (90). She needs 17 more to tie Mikki Kane-Barton for second place (118) and 23 more to tie Sandy Kovach for first place (124). With Rose recording 54 rejections last season, the second-most in a season in school history, she is likely to become Utahs all-time blocked shots leader in 1998-99.
Rose ranks sixth in the Western Athletic Conference in career blocked shots, and needs 20 more to tie Jessica Thompson, who played at Wyoming from 1993-97, for fourth place.
TWIN TOWERS: Junior 6-4 center Kristi Rose, the Utes only returning starter, has had plenty of help in the paint this season with the emergence of freshman 6-2 forward/center Lauren Beckman. Rose continues her climb the Utah career blocked shots chart, averaging 1.6 blocks per game. She is also averaging 8.4 pointsshooting 63.8 percent from the fieldand 5.1 rebounds in 18.1 minutes per game. Rose has led the Utes in scoring three times and once in rebounding.
Despite the fact that she does not start, Beckman plays an average of 21.9 minutes per game. She is second on the team in scoring (11.0 ppg), first in rebounding (7.6 rpg) and first in blocked shots (2.4 bpg). Beckman is also shooting a team-best 64.3 percent from the field. In the last four games, the 6-2 rookie from Elko, Nev., has connected on 19-of-26 field goal shots, averaging 12.3 points and 8.3 points. She posted a career-high 19 points against No. 12 Colorado State on Dec. 3 and a career-best 13 rebounds against Idaho on Dec. 12. Beckman has led the Utes in scoring once and rebounding four times.
Combined, Rose and Beckman are averaging 21.5 points, 12.8 rebounds and 4.0 blocked shots per game. Utah leads the Western Athletic Conference with 5.1 blocks per game, with Beckman ranking first (2.6) and Rose second (1.6) in the league, individually.
GIBBONS FIRES AWAY: Sharpshooting 5-9 freshman guard Erin Gibbons, playing the position in the line-up formerly held by Utah and WAC career scoring and three-point leader Julie Krommenhoek, is already drawing comparisons to her predecessor. So, let the numbers speak for themselves.
Gibbons is leading the Utes in scoring with an average of 15.1 points per game. She is also averaging 2.6 three-pointers per game and shooting 50.6 percent from the field and 44.7 percent from three-point range. Krommenhoek, as a freshman, averaged 16.8 points and 2.5 treys per game, shooting 50.1 percent from the field and 47.5 percent from three-point range.
Gibbons ranks seventh in the Western Athletic Conference in scoring (15.1 ppg), third in three-point field goal percentage (44.7) and second in three-point field goals per game (2.6). She has scored over 20 points in both of her last two games, burning Washington State for 22 on Dec. 10 and getting a career-best 23 points against Idaho on Dec. 12, making 9-of-14 field goals. She has led the Utes in scoring four times.
THEY DONT PLAY LIKE FRESHMAN: Eight games into the season, Elaine Elliott is getting solid production from her freshman class. Of the five newcomers, four are averaging 10.3 minutes per game and three are averaging at least 18 minutes per contest. Erin Gibbons, Lauren Beckman and Katherine McColl are among the top six on the team in scoring with Gibbons ranking first (15.1 ppg), Beckman second (11.0 ppg) and McColl fifth (6.7 ppg). Beckman leads the team in rebounding (7.6 rpg) and McColl is third (5.0 rpg).
OH, CANADA: Utah has raided the pool of talent to the north, featuring three Canadians on its roster this season. Sophomore 6-0 forward/guard Amy Ewert, a native of Vancouver, British Columbia, became the first-ever Canadian to play for the Utes last season. Ewert is joined by two freshmen this season. Erin Gibbons, a 5-9 guard from Salmon Arm, British Columbia; and Katherine McColl, a 6-0 freshman from Hamilton, Ontario, have also made the trek south. All three are averaging at least 12 minutes per game and rank among the Utes top eight scorers and top eight rebounders.
HOME SWEET DOME: After Utahs home win over St. Marys College on Dec. 5, the Utes have won 44 of their last 46 games in the Jon M. Huntsman Center since a loss to Western Athletic Conference rival San Diego State on Jan. 12, 1995. The Utes won all 11 of their home games last season and have taken four of their first five this season. Utah has an all-time record of 246-29 (.895) under the silver dome.
With Utahs 70-69 loss to Colorado State on Dec. 3, the Utes 16-game homecourt winning streak was terminated. It was the 11th-longest active streak in the nation before it ended. The Utes previous loss at the Jon M. Huntsman Center was also to Colorado State, 79-68, in triple overtime on Feb. 8, 1997.
SILVER ANNIVERSARY SEASON FOR WACS TOP PROGRAM: This is the 25th season for the University of Utah womens basketball program, which has an all-time record of 494-197 (.713). Utah is the winningest womens basketball program in Western Athletic Conference history and also has the best record against other league teams with an 87-25 (.777) mark. The Utes have also made the most NCAA Tournament appearances (9) among WAC programs and are tied for the most WAC regular-season titles (3) with San Diego State.
BRING ON THE COMPETITION: Utah has seven games against five teams that played in the 1998 NCAA Tournament, including three non-conference games. Out of the league, Utahs schedule is highlighted by games against Montana, Colorado State and SMU, all at home. Although Colorado State and SMU are members of the Western Athletic Conference, they are aligned in the Mountain Division this year, while Utah is in the Pacific Division. Therefore, those two games do not count as league contests. Montana was the No. 14 seed in the West Region of the 1998 NCAA Tournament, while Colorado State was the No. 12 seed in the Midwest and SMU the No. 11 seed in the East. The Utes have already defeated Montana, 71-64, on Nov. 21 and lost to Colorado State, 70-69, on Dec. 3 at the Huntsman Center.
During the conference season, Utah will be placed in the WACs Pacific Division with Brigham Young, Fresno State, Hawaii, New Mexico, San Jose State, San Diego State and UTEP. Hawaii was the No. 8 seed in the NCAA West Region and New Mexico was the No. 8 seed in the East.
UTES PICKED THIRD IN WAC PRESEASON POLL: Utah was picked to finish third in the Western Athletic Conference Pacific Division in 1998-99 according to the WAC women's basketball coaches' preseason poll.
Despite returning just one starter and six letterwinners, the Utes garnered 93 points and one first-place vote. The U. was picked behind Hawai'i, which collected 115 points and 10 of the 16 first-place votes. New Mexico received 103 points and the remaining five first-place votes.
The remainder of the Pacific Division was predicted as follows: Brigham Young (77), Fresno State (62), UTEP (48), San Diego State (40) and San Jose State (30).
In the Mountain Division, Colorado State garnered 15 first-place votes and 120 points. The Rams were also picked to win the overall 1999 WAC title. Hawai'i, New Mexico and Rice each received one vote in the overall WAC championship balloting.
UTES ON TELEVISION: Utah will make two appearances on regional cable television and two more appearances on local television this season. The Utes games with Hawaii on Jan. 17 at 12:00 p.m. (MST) from the Jon M. Huntsman Center and at Fresno State on Jan. 24 at 12:00 p.m. (PST) will be televised live by FOX Sports Net. The games will be shown on the cable networks Rocky Mountain, Southwest, West 2 and Bay Area affiliates.
KJZZ-TV in Salt Lake City will televise Utahs game with Brigham Young on Feb. 6 at 3:00 p.m. from the Huntsman Center. KBYU-TV will televise the Utah/BYU game on Feb. 9 at 3:00 p.m. in Provo, Utah, to the Salt Lake City market.
UTES ON RADIO: Utah women's basketball has a new radio home this season. In an effort to provide more coverage and a stronger signal, the games have been moved to AM-700 KWLW, a 50,000-watt station in Salt Lake City. KWLW will carry 16 regular-season games and all postseason contests live. Additional WAC games, which would be broadcast tape-delayed, could be added later. Each broadcast will begin 15 minutes prior to tip-off with a pre-game show and conclude with the Elaine Elliott post-game show.
KWLW is operated by Jacor Broadcasting of Salt Lake City, Inc., which also owns 570 K-News and KALL-910 in the Salt Lake market. Jacor is in the first year of a four-year contract as the exclusive radio home of University of Utah sports. Anchoring the broadcast team is 570 K-News/KALL-910 AM Sports Director Brad Stone. He will do play-by-play for the home games with former Ute Reggie Wright-Jewkes providing color commentary. University of Utah Assistant Sports Information Director Mike Lageschulte will handle play-by-play for the road games for the third consecutive season.
UTES HONOR FORMER ADMINISTRATOR LINDA EDGAR: Utah players are wearing an oval patch with the initials L.E. stitched on the left thigh of their uniform shorts this season. The patch is worn in honor Linda Edgar, a long-time member of the University of Utah administrative staff and Coordinator of Financial Aid/Eligibility, who passed away after a long battle with cancer last summer.
