10/17/2018 8:38 AM | Women's Basketball
The University of Utah women's basketball program is officially 14 days away from its home exhibition game against Westminster College on Oct. 31. Get to know true freshman #14 Andrea Torres.

She led Montmorency to the RSEQ Finals in 2018, earning RSEQ First Team of Stars recognition.
Q: How did your interest in basketball begin?
A: Because of my dad and my brother. I used to wait for my brother's practice to be over and one day the coach told me to come and play with them and since that day I have been in love with this sport.
Q: What is your favorite part about playing basketball?
A: The feeling I have when I'm on the court and the crowd encouraging us is amazing. Also, I love the competitiveness and being part of a team is amazing too because they are not just  teammates, they are also my sisters.
Q: What made you choose Utah?
A: I chose Utah because I know it's a great school, academically and sports wise. For me it's a great opportunity to play basketball in the Pac-12. Also, I love the coaching staff because I know they will be able to make me a better basketball player. Finally, one of my good friends, Maurane Corbin, attends Utah and she has had a great experience and I couldn't be more happy to play with her again. Â
Q: What are some of your favorite things to do outside of basketball?
A: Coaching my little sister, hanging out with my friends and watching Netflix.
Q: What is the best piece of advice you've been given?
A: It's going to get harder before it gets easier.
Q: Who is your biggest influence in life on and off the court and why?
A: My grandmother. She passed away almost a year ago and she was an amazing person. When she got sick, all of her doctors told her she was going to die really soon, but she told me that she wanted to be here for all of her grandchildren. And she did. That just showed me that if you really want something and fight for what you believe in, it will come true.
Q: What do you think are some keys to success when it comes to being a college athlete?
A: Discipline, keep your eye on the prize, perseverance, attitude and hard work. These are the things that work well on the court, but also in the classroom. Â
Q: If you could play and go pro in any other sport, what would it be and why?
A: I've always loved to watch football. In high school I played flag football and I was really good, so that would be the sport that I could play pro.
Q: What is your favorite part about being on the basketball team at Utah so far?
A: My teammates.
Q: Where is your favorite place to eat in Salt Lake City?
A: The football facility.
Q: If you could have a super power, what would it be?
A: Being invisible.
Q: Do you have any hidden talents?
A: No, I don't.
Q: What is your favorite movie?
A: The Lion King and The Conjuring.
Q: What is a holiday that doesn't exist that you would like to create?
A: A candy holiday.
Q: What did you want to be growing up?
A: A rock star.
Q: If you could take three things with you to a desert island, what would they be?
A: Knife, water and pillow.
Q: If you could describe yourself in three words, what would they be?
A: Funny, childish and energetic.
Q: What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?
A: Cookie dough.
Q: If you could time travel, where and when would you go?
A: In England and around 1850.
