STANFORD, Calif. – It was a game of two halves for the Utah women's basketball team today in Maples Pavilion, falling to the No. 6 Stanford Cardinal on Sunday afternoon. Utah is 10-9 overall this season and 3-5 in Pac-12 play.

The Utes made it a 10-point game with 2:19 remaining in the third quarter, but Stanford would go on to knock down three from beyond the arc in the final two minutes of the period to take a 17-point lead into the fourth.

Utah finished the game shooting 36-percent from the floor and just 30-percent from the three while getting out-rebounded 42-29. The Utes were able to finish the game with three players in double digits, including two true freshmen.
