On the night honoring former Utah women's basketball coach Elaine Elliott, the Utah women’s team secured a 67-59 victory over Cincinnati at the Huntsman Center, snapping a recent losing streak and boosting NCAA tournament hopes. The team played with strong teamwork, recording 22 assists on 24 made baskets, led by seniors Lani White and Maty Wilke. White scored a game-high 23 points, including six three-pointers, and Wilke contributed 12 points, four assists, and four rebounds. Despite a modest shooting night overall (41.4% from the field), Utah capitalized on free throws and fast break points, with White hitting crucial shots late in the game. Cincinnati’s three players finished in double figures, with Caliyah DeVillasee leading with 13 points. The game featured a tight first quarter, but Utah built an 18-point lead before Cincinnati rallied in the fourth quarter, reducing the gap to five points. Utah responded with key plays from White, Wilke, and Reese Ross to maintain their lead and secure the win. The victory is significant for Utah’s NCAA tournament prospects, as they are tied for seventh in the Big 12 standings with four games remaining. Coach Gavin Petersen emphasized the importance of playing to win rather than playing not to lose, noting the team’s need to improve consistency and mindset. The team will now prepare for an upcoming game at Oklahoma State.
