Scouting New Mexico:
The University of New Mexico women's basketball team suffered its worst loss of the season as the Colorado State Rams ran past the Lobos 79-51, in a Mountain West Conference game.
UNM was guilty of 27 turnovers and missed all nine of their 3-point attempts. Not only was leading scorer Miranda Sanchez held without a point, but she didn't even have a field-goal attempt. Foul trouble limited Sanchez to just 15 minutes of play. UNM's five starters combined for only 22 of the team's 51 points, while shooting 7 of 20 from the floor.
Freshman Jordan Adams, starting for the second straight game, led UNM with 13 points and seven rebounds. Senior Aiyana Nash and junior Jennifer Williams came off the bench to score 10 points apiece. The Lobos shot just 35% (16-46) from the floor and 53% (19-36) from the free-throw line.
New Mexico is currently 12-6 overall, 3-2 in the MWC. Junior Miranda Sanchez leads the team in scoring, averaging 11.4 ppg and in rebounding (5.7 rpg). Jordan Adams posts 9.9 points per game and 4.4 boards per game,while Jennifer Williams totals 8.7 ppg and 4.2 rpg. Last season, Sanchez averaged 10.8 ppg and Williams totaled 8.0 ppg. Both Sanchez and Williams each pulled down the second-most rebounds with 4.5 per game last year.
New Mexico Head Coach:
Before Don Flanagan's arrival, UNM had never won a regular-season league title. UNM received a No. 1 seed during the 1999 WAC Tournament. Although the Lobos did not advance to the NCAA Championship, they accepted an invitation to the Postseason Women's NIT. UNM hosted all three games in The Pit and made it as far as the quarterfinal round.
Flanagan brought the team into uncharted territory during the 1997-98 season. UNM won 26 games, an unprecedented feat. Flanagan's continued emphasis on defense was apparent during the 1997-98 season, as the Lobos stayed ranked in the top-5 of the NCAA for scoring defense. UNM did improve its shooting touch to 42% for the season to prove it was not a one-dimensional team. To top it off, Flanagan led the team into the WAC Tournament as the No. 4 seed and came away with its first conference championship. The Flanagan-led Lobos were rewarded with their first trip to the NCAA Tournament. UNM received a No. 8 seed in the East Region and faced the ninth-seeded Nebraska 'Huskers in the first round. Although UNM lost the game, it did not diminsh what the Lobos accomplished under Flanagan. After only three years, Flanagan has a 58-32 record at UNM.
Scouting Air Force:
The Air Force women's basketball team traveled to Laramie with thoughts of snapping its 13-game road streak. But the Falcons could not convert on opportunities, and despite a valiant effort the Falcons came up short, losing to Wyoming 72-86
As has been the case numerous times this season, the Falcons fell behind early, then clawed their way back into the game to challenge for the victory. Air Force committed nine turnovers in the game's first nine minutes. The team was a combined 2-14 on three-point attempts, and shot just 37.5 percent from the field in the second half. Conversely, Wyoming was 17-28 from the floor (60.7%). Turnovers were also costly, as the Falcons turned the ball over 24 times.
Sophomore Rozalyn Russ scored a career-high 22 points to lead all Air Force scorers. She was near perfect from the charity stripe, sinking 13 of 14 free throws, a new Falcons' Division I record. Samantha Clifton grabbed a career-high 10 rebounds to lead the Falcons.
The Falcons are currently 4-14 overall, 1-4 in MWC play. Megan Thiedman leads the team in scoring, averaging 15.1 ppg. Thiedman is thrid on the team in rebounds, averaging 4.3 rpg. Last year, she led the team in scoring for the first time in her career, averaging 11.5 points per game. Mollie Peters averages 14.8 ppg and 5.0 rpg. Peters led the team in rebounding last season, averaging 5.8 per game. Rozalyn Russ averages 10.0 ppg and leads the team in rebounds, averaging 6.2 rpg.
Air Force Head Coach:
Sue Darling starts her first year with a clean slate after the program went a combined 9-43 in its first two seasons in Division I. She has assembled her own coaching staff and brings a wealth of quality experience from all levels of the game.
Darling is focusing on three areas -- team development, recruiting and community development. The first step is to coach the current players to the best of their abilities. Secondly, the Falcons will continue to recruit quality women who have the ability to help Air Force compete in a highly competitive conference. The final area is to get more involved with the community and get the community more involved with the program.
Darling most recently honed her coaching skills with the Seattle Reign of the ABL, where she worked as an assistant coach through the end of 1997.
BYU Game Recap:
The University of Utah women's basketball team rolled in Mountain West Conference play with a 59-55 win over BYU, in Provo, Utah on Fri., Jan. 28. BYU dropped to 13-5 overall, 3-2 in the MWC.
Down at the half (33-22) Utah picked up the pace to out-score the Cougars 37-22 in the second half and pull out the win. Utah tied the game, 48-48 with 6:59 to go in the game on a three-pointer by sophomore Erin Gibbons. The Utes took the lead (49-48) for only the second time in the game with 5:46 left to go on a free-throw by Gibbons. BYU came back to score seven unanswered points and retake the lead 55-53, but Utah's Kristina Andersen hit a clutch three-pointer to put the Utes up by one with 1:35 left in the game. Utah hit three more free-throws and held the Cougars scoreless in the final minute of play to sustain the win. Utah is the only MWC team that remains undefeated in conference play.
Junior Kristina Andersen led the Utes with a career-high 22 points. Andersen was 7-of-10 from the field, 3-of-5 from three-point range and 5-of-6 from the free-throw line. Sophomore Erin Gibbons also scored in double figures with 11 points, shooting 2-of-6 from the field, 2-of-4 from behind the arc and 5-of-6 from the free-throw line. Junior Lori Red added nine points and Lauren Beckman posted six rebounds. As a team, Utah shot 41 percent from the field (18-of-44), 47 percent from behind the arc (7-of-15) and 76 percent (16-of-21) from the free-throw line.
For the Cougars, senior Lori Cuff and sophomore Stacy Jensen led the team with 14 points each. Erin Thorn had 10 points, four assists and two steals, and teammate Jill Adams led BYU with nine boards. BYU shot 44 percent from the field (24-of-54), 40 percent from the 3-point line (6-of-15) and 100 percent from the free-throw line (1-of-1).
"I thought BYU out played us for the first 18 minutes of the game, but we came back and matched that for about 22 minutes and those two minutes were probably the difference in us getting the win. They played very well early on and caught us a little bit slower than they were and not as quick to the ball. In the final two minutes of the first half and all of the second half I was pleased with the way our kids played. I thought we were aggressive and I was happy with the effort they gave to pull out the win. We turned up the intensity level and played as a team in the second half and came out with a good win over a good team," said Elliott.

A QUICK LOOK AT UTAH:
Utah returns four starters and 11 of the 12 letterwinners from last year's team that went 21-7 overall, tied for first place in the Western Athletic Conference Pacific Division with a 12-2 record and earned a bid to the WNIT. What's amazing is that, after the loss of five seniors from the 1997-98 team, last season was supposed to be a "rebuilding" year. Instead, the Utes merely continued their winning ways under head coach Elaine Elliott. It was the fifth consecutive year in which the U. won 20 games, claimed a conference championship of some form and earned a postseason bid. Elliott embarks on her 17th season as Utah's head coach with a 323-140 career record. Utah was one of the preseason favorites to win the inaugural Mountain West Conference championship.
Returning for the Utes is two-year letterwinner Lori Red. Red, a 5-11 junior from Provo, Utah, was named to the first-team all-WAC Pacific Division in 1998-99. She started in all 28 games, second on the team in scoring, averaging 9.9 points per game. Red was third on the team, averaging 4.6 rebounds per game and 2.4 assists per game. She scored in double figures in 15 out of 28 games last season. Back at guard for Utah is three-year letterwinner, Tiana Fuertes. Fuertes started in 27 games last season, averaging 5.9 points per game. Fuertes ranked 3rd in the final WAC standings in assists, averaging 4.9 assists per game. Kristina Andersen, a 6-1 forward is back for her third season with Utah. Andersen started in 27 games last season, where she was fourth in scoring, averaging 7.1 points per game. She was second on the team in rebounds, averaging 5.3 rebounds per game. Amy Ewert, a two-year letterwinner is back, spending time between the forward and guard positions. Ewert started in 10 games last season, seeing action in 27. She posted 2.4 points per game and 2.1 rebounds per game last season.
Erin Gibbons is back for her second season with the Utes. Gibbons, a 5-9 sophomore guard from Salmon Arm, B.C, was named the WAC Pacific Division Freshman of the Year, as well as earning second team all-conference honors and a spot on the all-newcomer team. Gibbons ranked 15th in the WAC in scoring (11.7 ppg), third in three-pointers per game (2.3) and eighth in three-point field goal percentage (.374), starting 17 games. Gibbons scored in double figures in 17 games and led the Utes in scoring 11 times. Lauren Beckman, a 6-2 sophomore center/forward from Elko, Nev., joined Gibbons on the Pacific Division's all-newcomer team. She played in all 28 games off the bench, averaging 21.7 minutes. Beckman ranked 29th in the nation and led the WAC in blocked shots (1.8 bpg). She also ranked 17th in the league in rebounding (6.1 rpg) and was third on the team in scoring (9.6 ppg). Beckman led the Utes three times in scoring and 11 times in rebounding. Katherine McColl, a 6-0 sophomore was seventh on the team in scoring last season, averaging 5.4 points per game. McColl was fourth in rebounding, averaging 4.0 rebounds per game. She played in 27 games, starting in one. Junior Lindsay Sodja returns at the forward position. Sodja played in 27 games, starting in one and averaged 4.9 points per game for the Utes. Sodja grabbed 1.9 rebounds a game last season. Lindsay Herbert, a 5-11 sophomore saw action in 27 games, starting in two. Herbert averaged 1.5 points per game and 1.3 rebounds per game. Erin Hansen, a 6-3 forward is back for her second season with Utah. Hansen saw time in 14 games last season. Janna Whitman, a three-year letterwinner played in 14 games last season.
Utah has three newcomers on this year's team. The Utes inked Carley Marshall, a 6-2 forward/center from Eugene, Ore., Whitney Sutak, a 6-0 guard from Mill Valley, Calif., and Sarah Wobbe, a 5-9 point guard from Elmira, Ore.
Marshall earned honorable mention All-America honors from USA Today last season. In 1997-98, she averaged 16.5 points and 12.7 rebounds for Willamette High School (Eugene, Ore.). She was a Blue Chip Illustrated All-American in 1997-98, as well as a second-team all-conference and an academic all-conference selection. Sutak, who can play the one through three positions, was a first-team all-conference selection in 1997-98 at Branson High School (Mill Valley, Calif.). She averaged 12.8 points, 4.3 assists and 3.6 rebounds. Wobbe comes to the U. from Marist High School (Elmira, Ore.), the same program that produced Ute junior forward Kristina Andersen. Wobbe was a preseason honorable mention All-American by Street & Smith heading into the 1998-99 season. She earned third-team all-state and first-team all-conference honors in 1997-98, averaging 9.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, 7.6 assists and 5.2 steals per game.
POSTGAME INTERVIEWS:
Head Coach Elaine Elliott and Utah players will be available for interviews outside the Utah lockerroom following a 10 minute cooling off period. A member of the Utah sports information staff will gather interview requests immediately following the game. Box scores will be provided and faxed upon request.
UTES FAVORED TO WIN INAUGURAL MWC CHAMPIONSHIP:
Utah was selected by both the league coaches and the media as the preseason favorite to win the conference crown. Utah received 60 votes in the coaches' poll and 195 votes (11 first place votes) in the media poll. The results of both polls were very similar with only two positions being reversed.
Expected to finish second is Colorado State University, third belongs to the University of New Mexico, fourth to Brigham Young, and fifth to UNLV. The coaches gave the edge to the University of Wyoming for sixth, while the media listed San Diego State University in the No. 6 position. These two schools were reversed in the No. 7 slot in the opposite poll. Air Force Academy placed eighth in both polls.
Utah's Lori Red is one of just two first team all-conference selections (the other being Froehlich, UNLV) back for the 1999-2000 season. Red averaged 9.9 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game last season and was selected as the conference player of the week twice in 1998-99. She was chosen to the preseason team by both the coaches and the media.
The preseason all-conference teams also have a similar look with four players appearing on both teams. Named as both the coaches and media's choice as the Top Returning Player is UNLV's Linda Froehlich. Also named to both squads were Utah's Lori Red, Colorado State's Heather Haanen and BYU's Cady Williams. Rounding out the coaches' five-member team is New Mexico's Mirando Sanchez. The media chose BYU's Jill Adams.
FLASHBACK TO `98-'99
DEFENSE, DEFENSE, DEFENSE:
Utah was one of the top defensive teams in the nation last season, ranking first in the NCAA in scoring defense (55.1 ppg). The U. outscored its opponents by an average of 10.8 points a game, ranking 30th in the nation in scoring margin. The Utes also ranked 25th in the NCAA in rebound margin in 1998-99 with an advantage of 5.5 boards per game and was fifth in the final NCAA rankings in field goal percentage defense (.361). Utah led the 16-team Western Athletic Conference in scoring defense, field goal percentage defense and rebound margin.
UTES LIGHT IT UP FROM DOWNTOWN:
Utah's offense got a boost from its outside shooting last season. The Utes ranked 23rd in the final NCAA rankings in three-point field goals per game (6.1) and 37th in three-point field goal percentage (.352). Utah was third in the Western Athletic Conference in three-point field goal percentage and fourth in three-point field goals per game. A solid inside game also helped the Utes lead the WAC in field goal percentage last season (.443).
A BALANCED ATTACK:
As the old saying goes, the whole is always greater than the sum of its parts, and Ute head coach Elaine Elliott had lots of quality parts to work with last season. Ten players appeared in at least 27 of the 28 games, averaging at least 9.6 minutes per contest. While Erin Gibbons was the only Ute to average in double-figures in scoring (11.7 ppg), seven players averaged 5.4 points per game or better. Nine different players led Utah in scoring in 1998-99.
THEY DIDN'T PLAY LIKE FRESHMEN:
Utah's quick rebuilding project last season was due at least in part to the solid production Elaine Elliott got from her freshman class. Of the five newcomers, four averaged at least 9.6 minutes per game and three averaged 17.0 minutes per contest or better. Erin Gibbons, Lauren Beckman and Katherine McColl were among the top seven on the team in scoring, with Gibbons ranking first (11.7 ppg), Beckman third (9.6 ppg) and McColl seventh (5.4 ppg). Beckman led the team in rebounding (6.1 rpg) and McColl was fifth (4.0 rpg).
OH, CANADA:
Utah has raided the pool of talent to the north, featuring three Canadians on its roster this season. Junior 6-0 forward/guard Amy Ewert, a native of Vancouver, British Columbia, became the first-ever Canadian to play for the Utes in 1997-98. Ewert was joined by two others last season. Erin Gibbons, a 5-9 guard from Salmon Arm, British Columbia, and Katherine McColl, a 6-0 forward from Hamilton, Ontario, also made the trek south. All three have averaged at least 14.4 minutes per game and ranked among the Utes' top nine scorers and top eight rebounders last season.
Gibbons started 17 games last season, while Ewert started the last nine games and 10 overall. Ewert, Gibbons and McColl each played in 27 of the 28 games.
ELLIOTT'S MARK:
During her illustrious career, Elliott has led Utah to eight NCAA Tournament appearances, four regular-season conference titles, three divisional crowns and four league tournament championships. Elliott posted her 300th career victory with a 67-53 win over Colorado State on Feb. 14, 1998 at the Huntsman Center. Elliott is quickly approaching her 350th career win. She currently has 337 career victories under her belt.
Elliott, who was named the Western Athletic Conference Pacific Division Coach of the Year for 1998-99, has been regarded for years as one of the top women's collegiate coaches in the country. Elliott has amassed a 337-144 record (.701) during her career at Utah. She has the longest tenure of any coach in the MWC.
