Women's college basketball game between the Utah Utes and Eastern Washington at the Jon M. Huntsman Center.
Utah Women's Basketball takes on Eastern Washington at the Jon M. Huntsman Center on Tuesday, November 3, at 6 PM. It's an early-season matchup in Salt Lake City, and for anyone who follows the Utes, it's one of the first chances to see the team in action this winter.
The program has a long history behind it, dating back to 1974 when it launched within the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women as a member of the Intermountain Athletic Conference. Since then, it's made 21 NCAA Tournament appearances, reaching the Sweet Sixteen three times—in 2001, 2006, and 2023—and the Elite Eight once, in 2006. Across its different conference affiliations, the program has claimed 17 regular-season titles and eight conference tournament championships. It's also produced six future WNBA draft picks: Megan Huff, Shona Thorburn, Kim Smith, Leilani Mitchell, Morgan Warburton, and Michelle Plouffe.
The team plays at the Jon M. Huntsman Center on the University of Utah campus, an arena that opened in 1969 and was renovated in 2014. It seats 15,000 and has hosted 81 March Madness games. Head coach Gavin Petersen is entering his third season at the helm and his 12th overall at Utah, coming off five straight postseason appearances and a 19-13 record.
