BYU Cougars center Sara Hamson (22) shoots over San Francisco Dons forward Julia Nielacna (32) in Provo on Thursday, Feb. 28, 2019. BYU won 82-59.
PROVO — Much like her older sister, Jen Hamson, was throughout her career, Sara Hamson can prove to be an absolute game-changer when healthy and playing at a high level, much to the BYU women's basketball team's benefit. As the Cougars begin West Coast Conference play Monday taking on Pepperdine (3 p.m. MDT, BYUtv), Hamson will prove pivotal as the team hopes to qualify for the NCAA tournament, either by winning the tournament outright or by gaining an at-large bid.
