Provo • Malia Nawahine still hasn’t peeled the University of Utah sticker off the back window of her car.
Nawahine is the West Coast Conference Player of the Week after scoring 23 and 25 points in wins over San Francisco and Pacific last week, both career highs at the time. She is averaging a respectable 11.3 points per game in her first and only season with the Cougars after transferring from Utah last summer. But coach Jeff Judkins — also a former Ute — is hoping last week’s breakout performances are a sign of things to come.
