With the Bulldogs leading 49-48 with just over four minutes to play, Palkki hit a big jumper that put the Wolverines on top for good. Utah Valley would then run off 12 straight before Gonzaga finally scored again in the final ten seconds. I couldn't be happier for our players," UV Head Coach Cathy Nixon said about the two-game winning streak. "I thought we stepped up huge the last five minutes of the game. I'm thrilled for our kids." But the Wolverines couldn't experience the sweet end of their road trip before experiencing the bitter end closer to home. It started with a blowout in Logan with Utah State earning its first victory of the season by destroying Utah Valley 74-51. The Aggies used a 14-0 first half run to turn a four-point deficit into a ten-point lead and never relinquished that advantage. USU senior Jessica Freeman paved the way for the Aggies with 21 on a perfect 7-7 from the floor. UVSC only managed to shoot a combined 27 percent for the game. At BYU, the Wolverines seemed to play with a new burst of energy and did make a game of it against the undefeated Cougars (at the time), losing 61-54 after a strong, late second half charge. Falling behind by as many as 18, UVSC then held the Cougars scoreless over a stretch of 6:43, but wouldn't get any closer than six the rest of the way. "I was pleased with a lot of things," said Nixon. "I was proud of the way the kids defended. We came in here against BYU and put ourselves in a position where we were competing for the win." After scoring only two points in the first half, Fairbanks was dominant after the break, scoring 17 on 7-11 shooting. BYU improved to 8-0 with the win, while the Wolverines later couldn't manage a win in Cedar City either, losing 80-74 to Southern Utah. Following the Portland and Gonzaga victories, UVSC capped its lengthy break schedule by falling at Montana State in an offensive shootout, 92-84. UVSC now stands at 4-9 on the season. MONDAY* JANUARY 9 Wolverine Wisdom So now that we're midway through basketball season, what's your take on the boys? —Jay, Orem A 6-8 record is better than seven of the other nine D-I Independents. Besides a recent letdown v. High Point, they're continuing to take care of business at home. The season has definitely been highlighted by the Arizona State upset, but in order to really gain some respect around the country, they're going to have to come up with some more road wins. / ran over a skunk the other day driving home from work.
