The 2018-19 season will be an exciting one for the Utes as they welcome back four seniors, including Huff, a Pac-12 All-Conference honoree from last season.
Daneesha Provo, who ranked in the top-10 in the league in three-point percentage last year, and
Erika Bean, who ranked in the top-five in the conference in assists, return for their seniors seasons along with graduate transfer
Sarah Porter (UC Santa Barbara).Â
Roberts will enter her fourth season at the helm, taking the Utes to the postseason for three straight seasons. She has 52 wins under her belt as a Ute and is ready to take the program to new heights this season.Â
With seven newcomers, fans will also get a chance to meet some of the best young talent in the conference. Transfers
Ola Makurat and
Julie Brosseau will have to sit out this season due to NCAA transfer rules, but graduate transfer
Sarah Porter and true freshmen
Niyah Becker,
Dre'Una Edwards,
Lola Pendande and
Andrea Torres will look for immediate playing time.Â
