SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -
Jeanette Pohlen scored 19 points, Kayla Pedersen added 13 and No. 3 Stanford overcame a poor first half and an injury to Nnemkadi Ogwumike to beat Utah 62-53 on Friday night.
Pohlen and Pedersen combined for 10 points in a 14-5 run late in the second half to break open a three-point game.
Former Stanford player Michelle Harrison scored all 14 of her points in the second half for Utah (2-1). Taryn Wicijowski added 11 points for Utes, also all after halftime.
Harrison graduated from Stanford with a year of eligibility remaining because of a medical redshirt. Her transfer to Utah was a mutual agreement.
"So many emotions," Harrison said. "Weird, fun, nerve-wracking, emotional, exciting. I thought it would be a unique experience and it was that and more."
She started the season making only 1 of 11 3-point attempts, including four first-half misses Friday night. She hit 4 of 7 in the second half.
Stanford led 23-15 after a sloppy first half.
Utah remained close at halftime despite shooting 19 percent in the first half and missing all 11 of its 3-point attempts.
Wicijowski kept Utah in the game early in the second half, scoring 11 points in her 14 minutes. She made a layup after Pohlen's jumper pulled Utah to 42-39.
"It was very competitive," Harrison said, "which is what I wanted for our team."
Pohlen made a 3-pointer and then added a free throw, and Pedersen scored six straight points as Stanford built a 56-44 lead.
The Cardinal made nine of 10 free throws in the final five minutes, missing all 11 of their 3-point attempts.
Janita Badon had 10 points, six rebounds and four assists for Utah.
