Women's Basketball's Strong Third Quarter Isn't Enough vs. #11 Arizona, Falling 85-69
2/21/2020 9:55 PM | Women's Basketball
SALT LAKE CITY – The University of Utah women's basketball program's third quarter rally fell short against the No. 11 Arizona Wildcats, falling 85-69. The Utes are 12-14 overall and 5-10 in Pac-12 play.
Arizona led by as many as 17 points early in the third quarter, but the Utes fought back to make it a seven-point game to start the fourth. Utah went on an 8-0 run late in the third that included five points from freshman Brynna Maxwell, making it a nine-point game with 3:51 left to play in the period.
Maxwell would go on to knock down a key three-pointer with 9:11 on the clock in the fourth quarter, part of a 7-0 run that started at the end of the third, making it 62-55 with some offensive momentum behind them.
Unfortunately for Utah, the Wildcats would go on a 13-0 run to make it 80-60 with under five minutes to go on the game, pulling away for good. The Utes finished the game shooting 40-percent from the floor and 50-percent from the three, knocking down 10 three-pointers.
LEADERS
Maxwell led the Utes with 22 points, shooting 6-of-10 from the floor and 5-of-8 from the arc, also shooting a perfect 5-for-5 from the free throw line. She added a career-high five assists while also grabbing four rebounds and a steal.
Dru Gylten finished the game with 16 points, shooting 4-of-9 from the floor, 2-of-3 from the three-point line and 6-for-6 from the charity stripe. She also recorded four assists and three steals for the night.
STANDOUT STAT
Maxwell entered the game with 65 total three-pointers this season and with her five tonight, she has 70, leading the Pac-12 in three-pointers made. She is now just eight threes away from cracking the top-five all-time at Utah in single-season threes with three regular season games remaining.
Kalee Whipple (2006-10) currently ranks fifth all-time in program history in single-season threes made, knocking down 77 in 2008-09.

UP NEXT
The Utes will host the No. 21 Arizona State Sun Devils on Sunday, Feb. 23 at 12 p.m. MT in the Jon M. Huntsman Center for Senior Day. Utah will honor seniors Daneesha Provo and Kiana Moore after the game. With the game being a double-header with the men's basketball team, any fan with a men's ticket will receive free admission to the women's game.
