BYU Cougars guard Caitlyn Alldredge (12) tries to get the ball from Saint Mary's Gaels guard Jasmine Forcadilla (3) at the Marriott Center in Provo on Thursday, Feb. 7, 2019.
PROVO — It's extraordinary for any first-year player to start at the collegiate level, but in the case of Caitlyn Alldredge, her progression toward a starting role reaches new heights.
As the BYU women's basketball team prepares for the West Coast Conference Tournament, it does so with Alldredge taking the starting role in BYU's frontcourt. The 5-foot-10 forward's 2.1 points scored per game this season won't jump off the page to anyone, but her numbers don't come close to telling her story and what she means to the team.
