Ogden, Utah - The University of Utah women's basketball team defeated the Weber State Wildcats, 72-65 on the road in Ogden, Utah on Mon., Dec. 17. The Utes improve to 5-3 on the season, while Weber State drops to 5-5 overall.

In the second half, Utah shot 54 percent from the field, 50 percent from behind the arc and 80 percent at the free-throw line.

Weber State tied the game at 41-41 with 15:06 left to go in the game, but it was the closest they would get as the Utes went on to win.

As a team, Weber State shot 42 percent (20-of-48) from the field, 55 percent (6-of-11) from three-point range and 79 percent (19-of-24) from the free-throw line.
"We played a very good Weber State team tonight and I am pleased with the win on the road," said Head Coach Elaine Elliott. "We certainly have a lot to work on, but we're going to move forward. I thought our bench played very well tonight and helped give us the offensive boost that we needed."
