SALT LAKE CITY - Senior forward Taryn Wicijowski poured in 20 points and pulled down 17 rebounds to lead the University of Utah women's basketball team to a 63-57 win over Utah State on Wednesday in the Huntsman Center.
Utah (2-4) had three players hit double-digits in points, led by Wicijowski, who made eight of her 13 field goal attempts for her third double-double of the season. She also dished out a season-high four assists and had a pair of blocks.
The Utes were 14-of-20 from the free throw line, compared to 5-of-10 for the Aggies. Utah held a 39-37 edge in rebounding. Sixteen of Utah's 22 field goals were assisted.
Freshman forward Tanaeya Boclair knocked down six of her 10 shots from the floor for 13 points for her third double-figure-point game to go with three rebounds and two assists. She also handed out two assists.
Junior point guard Danielle Rodriguez set a season high for the second straight game with 12 points, her first double-digit-point game of the year, after going six for 10 from the field to go with five rebounds and five assists.
Senior guard Cheyenne Wilson scored seven points, including four free throws, while Paige Crozon scored five points after a 3-for-6 shooting effort from the floor. Freshman center Joeseta Fatuesi turned in six points and grabbed five rebounds.
The Utes hit two of their first three shots as a lay-in and tip-in by Wicijowski as the game was tied three times (the last coming at 6-6) but USU was able to inch out to a nine-point lead, 17-8. Boclair posted up for a lay-in and Fatuesi converted a putback to bring Utah within five (17-12). Utah deficit was five (20-15) but the Aggies were able to push their advantage back to nine (24-15). The Utes responded with a 7-0 run as Crozon knocked down a 3-pointer, Wicijowski got a lay-in off an inbounds play and buried a 17-foot jump shot to bring Utah back within two (24-22). Wilson knocked in a 3-pointer and Rodriguez came up with a steal and lay-in to help Utah close the half on a 5-0 run, but the Utes still trailed 30-27. Wicijowski made five of her eight shots in the first half for 10 rebounds to go with eight rebounds, but held a 21-18 edge in first-half rebounds over the Aggies.
After a pair of Rodriguez free throws to start the second half, to extend Utah's run to 7-0 and pull within a point, 30-29. Utah pulled within a point twice (32-31, 34-33) and a fast break Crozon lay-up gave the Utes a 35-34 edge, their first lead since the 4-2 mark one minutes and 23 seconds into the game. Wicijowski buried a jumper and Boclair converted two straight lay-ins to put Utah back in the lead as part of a 12-4 run that put the Utes ahead by as many as seven (47-40). The Aggies could get no closer than three points the rest of the way as they went on to claim the 63-57 victory.
Utah State (1-6) was led by 19 points and three rebounds by Funda Nakkasoglu.
The Utes take on UNLV Saturday at 3 p.m. MT in the Jon M. Huntsman Center. Rick Bouillon will have the radio play-by-play call on ESPN700 with live video at pac-12.com.
