Utah Valley University’s women’s basketball team is off to a strong start this season, with a record of 6-2, their best start since the 2015-16 season. The team split two games last week at the University of San Diego Thanksgiving Classic, with standout performances from Tahlia White. White led the team in scoring in both games, averaging 18.5 points. Despite a loss to Omaha, White put up 18 points along with six rebounds and three steals.
After a busy November with eight games, Utah Valley will play just four games in December, with only one at home. The team ranks among the Top 30 in the nation in various statistical categories such as steals per game, turnovers forced per game, assists per game, bench points per game, and scoring defense.
Their next game is against Air Force, who is also off to a strong start with a 7-1 record. Air Force is led by first-year head coach Stacy McIntyre and key players Milahnie Perry and Madison Smith, who average 17.4 and 16.4 points per game, respectively. The game will take place at Air Force on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. MT.
After the Air Force matchup, Utah Valley will face BYU on December 10. The team is looking to continue their success on the court and build upon their strong start to the season.
