BYU’s excellent fall athletics season continued Saturday night as the women’s basketball and volleyball teams both beat Utah.
The 21st-ranked women’s basketball played Utah at the Huntsman Center on Saturday afternoon, beating the Utes 85-80 behind Paisley Harding’s 33 points and Shaylee Gonzales’ 22 points. The Cougars led by as many as 18 near the beginning of the fourth quarter, but the Utes came flying back to narrow the lead to three with 16 seconds left. Utah fouled Gonzales’, who knocked down two free throws to secure the win for the Cougars.
The team is now 8-0 on the season and will likely be ranked in the Top 20 next time the rankings come out.
