SAN FRANCISCO – Utah women's basketball Forward Dre'Una Edwards has been named the 2019 Pac-12 Freshman of the Year, announced today by the league office.Â

Â

Edwards had a career-high 15 rebounds twice this season, against BYU and in her first collegiate game against Nevada. She also put up a career-best 21 points in two games, shooting 6-of-12 from the floor and 9-for-9 from the charity stripe against UCLA in February followed by another 21 points at Arizona.Â
