Women's Basketball Hustles Past Huskies, 74-65
2/7/2020 11:22 PM | Women's Basketball
Brynna Maxwell shined in women's basketball's wire-to-wire victory Friday night over Washington.
SEATTLE, Wash. – The University of Utah women's basketball team led from start to finish tonight against the University of Washington, beating the Huskies 74-65 on the road to improve to 11-11 overall and 4-7 in Pac-12 play.
Utah led by as many as 15 points in the first half, but the Huskies came out in the third quarter shooting 66-percent from the floor, closing the gap to single digits. The Huskies went on an 8-0 run to end the third quarter, sending the Utes into the final period only up four.
The Utes were able to keep their composure, fighting off Washington's late surge with Washington native Brynna Maxwell scoring seven of her 16 points in the fourth quarter.
Maxwell was able to convert on two free throws with under a minute to play in the game to put the Utes up by eight with Andrea Torres scoring a layup with seven seconds on the clock. Torres' late layup would put the exclamation point on the game, giving the Utes their 11th win of the season.
The Utes finished the game shooting 44-percent from the floor, including 55-percent in the fourth quarter, and 40-percent from the three, knocking down 11 from the arc. Utah also shot 91-percent from the free throw line, the second straight game shooting 90-percent or higher from the charity stripe.
LEADERS
Maxwell scored a game-high 16 points, shooting 5-of-9 from the floor, 2-of-4 from the three and a perfect 4-for-4 from the free throw line. She added a career-high tying seven rebounds along with two steals.
Kiana Moore scored in double-digits for the second straight game, putting up 11 points on 4-of-6 shooting. Lola Pendande and Maurane Corbin added nine points each with Corbin's career-high point total coming from going 4-for-4 from the floor along with knocking down one free throw.
Dru Gylten also put together a well-balanced game, scoring seven points, grabbing five rebounds and dishing out a game-high eight assists. She also led the team in steals, recording three.
TALKING ABOUT THE GAME: Head Coach Lynne Roberts
"We made that a little harder than we needed to down the stretch, but again we are learning. We need to learn how to play to win and to play to not lose."
"I thought in the third quarter we played a little tense. Washington is scrappy and they play really hard and they make things challenging on offense, so we are happy with the win."
STANDOUT STAT
The Utes knocked down 11 threes against the Washington Huskies, the seventh time this season the Utes have knocked down double-digit threes in a game. Six players for the Utes hit at least one three in the game with Torres, Maxwell, Daneesha Provo, Moore and Kemery Martín all knocking down two each.
Utah has hit eight or more threes in 11 of its 22 games this season and 47 times under the direction of Lynne Roberts. The Utes are 37-10 in those games.
NOTABLE
UP NEXT
The Utes will head to the southeastern part of the state of Washington to take on the Washington State Cougars on Sunday, Feb. 9. The game will air on Pac-12 Mountain at 1 p.m. MT with Maylana Martin-Douglas and Guy Haberman on the call.
