Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It was a lot of Sarah Strong early for the Huskies.
A couple of free throws, a couple of mid range shots,
and then a three ball. There's Arnold the fud to shade,
Shade between the circle, snaps it on the left wing
to Kenyonez top of the Kida Strong into a three ball.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Got it, She just looks at it. Just a nice
smooth flow to her game.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Her only three of the game, and that three started
a big run for Yukon as they led nineteen to
five at the first media timeout. The run would end
at fourteen at twenty four to five, and then an
eight nothing spurt to close the first where eight came
off the bench point wise for the freshman Blanca Kenyonez.

(00:43):
Here's Kenyonez gives to Williams. Back in for the Huskies.
Pop to Kenyonez. She'll go left to right, explode to
the rim and lay it in with the left hand.
Already eight for kenyone is off the bench, thirty four
to eight Huskies after one fud and strong hand at
nine in the first quarter. Second a lot of subs

(01:03):
for Yukon. The offense slowed down a bit and early
in that second period. The only field goal for Yukon
came inside Sarah Williams. Here's fisher down low. Williams on
the left gets bumped and lays it anyways.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
There and gets to drop for Williams second being able
to get down the block.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Often eight rebounds for Williams today that her only field goal.
She was one of six teams traded hoops most of
the second quarter, Yukon winning the second twelve eleven, but
the last five points of the half for the Huskies
included an asy Fudd three and then a rare drive
to the hoop for Ashland Shade. Dad gives it to

(01:43):
da charm. Caroline works on the right, hands off the shade,
A shade on the wing, works inside to the rim
and inn and the foul.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
He covered a lot of distance right there. I like
the attack.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Forty four to nineteen Huskies the half. Asy Fudd had
twelve points in a career high seven rebounds, of the
eight that she would have on the day. In the
first half, Sarah Strong had eleven. Ukon shot fifty percent
in that first half, Yukon just twenty five. As a
White had nine for Utah to lead the Utes in
the opening twenty minutes. But then Yukon five minutes into

(02:20):
the third put foot on gas and never looked back.
A nineteen to three spurt that included fifteen straight points
and this exchange that led to two hoops for the Huskies,
Sarah Strong and Asy Fudd. Fudd cuts down the lane,
Arnold snap past, Strong, turned bodies up, lays it in.
She just had walker pin Solo had no chance. Fifteen

(02:43):
in a steel again three ball. Fudd got it.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
Oh goodness. And when that defense is playing that way,
hands all over the place, quick turnarounds and you can
see the momentum for the Husky.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Huskies had fifteen steals on the day. But when it rains,
Blanca Conyona is hair turn here, Canyona is baseline right,
gets cut off, gives it out. The strong of the
right wing hands off to Asy fut corner right canyonas
fires up a three short rebound tip. Canyon just gets
it back in traffic in and the file.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Good follow up of her shots. She's the one that
knows that was coming off the rim and where to go,
and nice strong moves to get the end.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
One run would end at eighteen and we had beautiful
basketball in the day. Sarah Strong had four assists on
the afternoon, none sweeter than this exchange with Asy Fut
Here's Arnold bounced past the Strong takes the hand off
the foot, all beautiful, Paul fake and she finds off
a cut Aasy for an easy two.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yeah. If the defensively get caught sleeping on that one,
thinking it's all right, let's.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Double team Sarah. Nope, she's gonna pass it instead. Husky's
led sixty eight to twenty four at that point. In
the fourth quarter. There was a stretch where Husky's made
four straight threes to get to eleven, and Jucon's made
double digit threes in three consecutive games, two of those
in the fourth. For Mali's Abelle here is the Belle

(04:08):
from d Sharma three Bang.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Why not tell you know? Hey? Sabelle is like our
teammates will always talk about how great a shooter she is.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
And she is the fourth Husky and double figures with
ten or second double figure game of her career thirty
two eight in the first, twelve, eleven in the second,
twenty nine to five in the third, twenty seventeen in
the fourth. That equates to a Yukon ninety three forty
one win over Utah to get the six and zero
Utah files to three and three
