Moving On, Moving In: The University of Utah women's basketball program will say goodbye to four seniors this spring as they look to graduate in May. Emily Potter, Tanaeya BoClair, Tilar Clark and Wendy Anae have spent the last four, or five, years as a Ute, earning over 7,000 minutes in the red and white with 70+ wins as a unit. While Utah fans will bid adieu to four student-athletes, they will welcome four newcomers in this fall. Niyah Becker (6-2, Wing, Winnipeg, Manitoba), Dre'una Edwards (6-2, Wing/Forward, Las Vegas, Nev.), Lola Pendande (6-3, Forward, Roquetas de Mar, Spain) and Andrea Torres (6-2, Forward, Montreal, Quebec) will all suit up for Utah in 2018-19.

My college basketball career is over... It's been 5 years with many lifelong lessons and amazing relationships formed. Thank you to my teammates, coaches and fans. I am forever a Ute & I'm blessed to say that I had this experience with Utah across my chest the whole way through.

Looking Forward: For the 2018-19 season, the Utes will return four players that started in 10-or-more games in Erika Bean, Megan Huff, Daneesha Provo and Tori Williams. Bean was the only player on the team last season to start in all 32 games with Huff also starting in 29 or the 30 games she appeared in. Provo hit the starting line-up mid-season and got the starting nod in 14 games while Williams started in 27 games as a true freshman.

Utes in the Postseason: Utah advanced to its 30th post-season in program history with the 2018 WNIT. This is Utah's 10th appearance in the WNIT and the third straight year. Utah is 27-34 all-time in post-season play.

3/21/16   at Gonzaga 92-77
3/15/18   vs. UNLV       78-68

Road Warriors: Utah finished the season with seven wins on the road, including one over a top-25 opponent in Arizona State. It is the most road wins the Utes have finished with since the 2012-13 season. Utah won its first four road games of the Pac-12 season, making them just one of five Power Five teams undefeated on the road in conference play at the time.

Top-25 Wins: For the third straight season, Utah has notched a win over a top-25 opponent. Utah played against six top-25 foes this season.

Make That Two: Emily Potter is leaving the Utes with two school records under her belt after the 2017-18 season. She set the single-season blocks record in 2016-17 with 89 and went on to set the career record this season with 270.

Freshy Fresh: Utah brought an experienced group of talent to the court this season, but also had two freshmen earn some serious minutes. Tori Williams played in 31 games and started in 27, earning Pac-12 All-Freshman honors while forward Maurane Corbin was integral off the bench at the post position, averaging eight minutes while shooting 52-percent from the floor.

The First: Senior Emily Potter became the first player in Utah women's basketball history to have 1,500+ points, 900+ rebounds and 200+ rebounds in a career. She finished her time at Utah with 1,635 points (11th all-time), 1,037 rebounds (5th all-time) and 270 blocks (1st all-time).

For Three: Freshman Tori Williams put herself in the Utah record books in her first year with the Utes, tying the Jon M. Huntsman Center record for threes made in a game. She knocked down seven against Washington on the way to scoring a career-high 29 points. The performance earned her Pac-12 Freshman of the Week honors.

1,000 Point Club: For the second straight year, the Utes have had a player reach the 1,000 career points mark. Tanaeya BoClair became the most recent Ute to hit the milestone, ending her career with 1,030. She is the 28th player in program history to reach 1,000 points in a career, joining teammate Emily Potter (1,635 points) who ranks 11th all-time in scoring.
