WBB Class Previews: Utah's Trio Of Juniors
10/13/2020 10:42 AM | Women's Basketball
As just sophomores on the squad last season, Dru Gylten, Niyah Becker and Andrea Torres were key in Utah’s production on both ends of the court, playing in over 2,032 minutes between the three of them with 54 starts.
With Maurane Corbin moving away from the court and into a student assistant coach role, the trio of Gylten, Becker and Torres are set to being their junior campaigns after a strong off-season for all three. Utah’s junior class brings versatility, size and quickness to the court this season, providing leadership to a young squad that is eager to show its talent in the Pac-12.
Gylten has started in every game she has appeared in as a Ute, proving she is one of the best passers in the Pac-12, and in Utah history. Torres joins Gylten for their third year on the court together as a strong presence inside and out, consistently knocking down the three as a forward. Becker starts her junior campaign after a breakout sophomore year where her length was key on the Utah defense.

Standout sophomore campaign in 2019-20, starting 22 games while seeing action in all 31 … averaged 24.4 minutes, 5.9 points and 4.3 rebounds per game … reached double-digits in eight games, also finishing the year with five-or-more rebounds in 14 games … was Pac-12 All-Freshman team in 2018-19 … scored a career-high 18 points in her first Pac-12 game at Colorado in 2018, shooting 7-of-11 from the floor and 4-of-7 from the three.
Why She Loves Utah: “The Fans! They are just so amazing every time I step on the court. I feel supported and loved by all the people that are in the stands, and the feeling of making good plays is just amazing.”
How Andrea Describes Her Play: Smart, reliable and efficient.
She has gotten herself in the best shape of her life. As a player during this pandemic, you can either lay in your bed and watch Netflix, or you can get up and do work. Andy got up and did the work. There is no substitute for just putting the work in. She’s in shape, she’s confident, she’s quicker, and leading.Lynne Roberts

10 :: Dru Gylten :: Rapid City, S.D.
One of the best passers in the Pac-12, finishing both of her seasons ranked in the top-10 in the league and top-30 nationally in assists per game … has started 60 games in two seasons … averaged 6.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.4 steals per game as a sophomore … broke the 300-career assist mark in 2019-20, the fastest a sophomore has achieved that mark in school history … career-high 12 assists against Arizona State in 2020 … scored a career-best 24 points on 7-of-9 shooting from the floor and 8-for-8 shooting from the free throw line against USC her freshman year.
Why She Loves Utah: “My favorite part is all the people I have met, the friendships I have been able to create, and the memories we have all made over the years. These people have impacted my life, and I will always remember these days. Most importantly, these friendships will last me a lifetime.”
How Dru Describes Her Play: Hardworking, unselfish and crafty with passing.
We have some more pieces around Dru this year where she can really focus on assisting, pushing tempo, attacking and scoring – which is what she is so good at. She can really be our facilitator, which is when she is at her best. She is someone we need to have on the floor in those big moments.Lynne Roberts

Last year she was more consistent and this year she wants to have a big role. She looks really confident heading into practice. She has an Olympic caliber body.
