Team Effort Leads to Big BYU Win

Image

PROVO, Utah (Feb 8, 2007)

Coming off a week without playing a game, the BYU women's basketball team (17-5, 8-1) showed no signs of a week off by beating the Air Force Academy Falcons (4-17,0-10), 70-40 Thursday night in the Marriott Center. With the win, the Cougars remain in solid first place in the Mountain West Conference with an 8-1 record.

The Cougars started the game off strong, leading eight to four at the 15:50 mark in the first half, with all eight points coming from Dani Wright and Lauren Riley each with four a piece. After an Air Force basket that brought the score to 10 to six, BYU scored five unanswered points while holding the Falcons scoreless over the next five minutes. The Cougars played almost perfect in the first ten minutes of the game grabbing 15 rebounds, committing just two team fouls and scoring 17 points.

BYU continued to play good all-around basketball throughout the remainder of the first half jumping out to a twenty-point lead with 5:43 left in the half.

Air Force went the last 15 minutes of the first half without scoring a basket, their last hoop coming with 15:21 remaining, while shooting 10 percent from the field in the first half. BYU finished with 25 first-half rebounds and took a 33-6 lead into the locker room at half time.

" I thought the defense played well in the first-half with a lot of intensity," said BYU Head Coach Jeff Judkins. "It's hard when you jump up that high to hold up the intensity."

The Cougars had a 32-point lead in the opening minute of the second half, leading 38-6. The Air Force scoring drought was broken with 18:45 left in the game when the Falcons' Andrea Taylor hit a jump shot to bring the score to 38-8. Taylor's basket broke a 16:42 scoreless streak for Air Force.

BYU dominated both ends of the floor, grabbing defensive rebounds and converting on the offensive end. The Cougars' largest lead of the game came with 9:39 left in the second half when they lead by 43 points.

The Cougars would continue to play well for the remainder of the game and won with a final score of 70-40. BYU's 70 points was the most points the Cougars have scored in a conference game this season and the 30 point margin of victory was the largest since BYU beat Weber State by 37 on Dec. 14, 2006. Air Force shot 29 percent from the field for the game while the Cougars pulled down a total of 46 rebounds.

" Our defense is the strength of the team," said Coach Judkins.

Dani Wright led the Cougars 21 points and 11 rebounds. With the double-double, Wright recorded her fourth of the year and fifth of her career.

BYU will next play third-place New Mexico who is on a four game winning streak, Saturday Feb. 10 at 2 p.m. in the Marriott Center.

2006 MWC Coach of the Year Jeff Judkins begins his sixth year as head coach of the women's basketball program. Prior to heading up the women's program, he served one year (1999-2000) as Director of Basketball Operations for the BYU men's team. In 2000 he became an assistant coach on the women's team.

Last season under Judkins, the Cougars compiled their best finish in school history with a 26-6 record, clinched their first MWC regular season title since 1992 and received a no. 7 seed in the NCAA tournament, the highest seed for any BYU program.

For the first time since the 2002-03 season, the team and its 13-1 record to start the year broke into the women's basketball collegiate polls, ranked No. 23 by the AP Poll and the USA Today/Espn/WBCA Coaches Poll. They would rank as high as 18 and 16 in the two respective polls, finishing the year at No. 20. Last season Judkins picked up his 100th win, a 69-67 victory over CSU on Mar. 2, the same time the team clinched the league's regular season title.

Under Judkins tutelage, the women's basketball program has had consistent success with four postseason appearances including three NCAA Championships, guiding the team to its first ever Sweet Sixteen finish in 2002. In 2005, the 19-11 team played in the first round of the WNIT.

Judkins has also coached two All-Americans in Erin Thorn and Ambrosia Anderson. Both have gone on to play in the WNBA for the New York Liberty. Thorn has been with the team for the past four years while Anderson just completed her first year playing professionally.

The longtime University of Utah coach and player came to Provo with a proven record of success dating back to his high school days at Highland HS in Salt Lake City. An all-state selection in basketball, football and baseball, Judkins went on to play for the University of Utah from 1974-78.

While playing at Utah, Judkins helped lead the Utes to one conference championship and two berths in the NCAA tournament. He was a second-team academic All-American and three-time District VII academic selection. He also earned three first team All-WAC honors and was a member of the 1977 United States World Games team that captured the gold medal.

Judkins also played five years in the National Basketball Association for the Boston Celtics, Portland Trailblazers, Detroit Pistons and Utah Jazz. He was a second-round pick of the Celtics in 1978, the same year the Celtics selected Larry Bird with the sixth pick overall.

After his NBA career, he returned to Utah in 1989 and was an instrumental part of that program's success during his 10 years, recruiting such players as Keith Van Horn, Andre Miller, Mike Doleac, Hanno Mottola, Alex Jensen, Trent Whiting, Garner Meads, Jeff Johnsen and Britton Johnsen.

Judkins, graduated from the University of Utah in 1978 with a degree in health and physical education. He and his wife Mary Kaye are the parents of five children: Jessica (26), (married to Paul), Jordan (24), Jenna (22), Jaime, who plays on the basketball team, (19), and Jaxson (16). Jenna plays on the volleyball team at BYU.

Hobbies: Waterskiing, horseback riding, hunting, golf, softball, and watching ESPN.
