SAN FRANCISCO (Interstat) — The San Francisco Dons (18-14) will look to close their season on a high note when they host the Utah Valley Wolverines (15-14) in a non-conference women’s basketball matchup on Thursday, March 19, 2026.

The game at War Memorial Gymnasium features two teams seeking momentum after recent losses ended their respective conference tournament runs. San Francisco enters following an 87-69 road loss to Santa Clara on March 8, while Utah Valley fell 60-57 to Tarleton State at home on March 12.

A key matchup will be in the backcourt, where each team’s top scorer will be in focus. San Francisco is led by guard Candy Edokpaigbe, who has been a consistent offensive force. She averaged 20.3 points over her final three regular-season games, including a 28-point performance in an overtime win at Saint Mary’s on Feb. 21.

Utah Valley counters with guard Kaylee Headrick, who has recorded 17 or more points in three of her last six outings. Headrick posted 17 points and seven rebounds in the Wolverines’ most recent loss. Her backcourt mate, Amanda Barcello, added 15 points in that contest.

The Dons hold a slight edge in overall record but have been inconsistent, alternating wins and losses over their final eight games. Their offense, however, has shown potency, scoring 86 points in a win at Pepperdine on March 7 and 82 in an overtime loss at Santa Clara.

Utah Valley’s season has been marked by narrow results, with four of its 14 losses decided by three points or fewer, including a one-point defeat at Abilene Christian on Feb. 28. The Wolverines have relied on a balanced attack, with Halle Nelson providing defensive presence, recording four blocks in the last game.

San Francisco will aim to leverage its home court, where it went 3-2 over its final five home dates. Utah Valley seeks its first win away from home since a Feb. 26 victory at Tarleton State.

Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. PDT.
