Omaha at Utah Tech

ST. GEORGE, Utah (Interstat) — The Omaha Mavericks and Utah Tech Trailblazers, both coming off decisive victories, will face off in a non-conference women’s basketball game Wednesday at Burns Arena.

Omaha (1-1) evened its record with an 88-47 rout of St. Mary last Thursday. The Mavericks’ performance was a dramatic turnaround from a 100-35 season-opening loss at Kansas State. Avril Smith led the way against St. Mary, pulling down a remarkable 21 rebounds to go with five assists. Cora Olsen poured in a team-high 25 points, while Sarai Estupiñan added 18 points and four assists.

Utah Tech (1-0) began its season with a 78-73 home win over Northern Arizona last Saturday. The Trailblazers were powered by a strong backcourt duo, with Kaylee Borden scoring 21 points and Chardonnay Hartley adding 19 points and four assists.

The matchup pits Omaha’s potent post-play against Utah Tech’s experienced guard scoring. The game will be a test of momentum for the Mavericks, who continue a tough road stretch with a game at BYU the following night. Utah Tech looks to defend its home court before heading to Weber State on Saturday.
