The McKay Center
2009 - 10 SEASON PREV I EW If Cathy Nixon looked into her crystal ball, in what is her 15th year as the head coach of Utah Valley women’s basketball, what would she see? On one hand there’s the uncertainty that comes with losing one of the more prolific scorers in NCAA history and on the other she returns an 18-point scorer and her starting point guard. It’s the latter that has her confident heading into the 2009-10 season. “The reassurance of the returning kids is what I feel really confident about. The three seniors (Julie Smith, Blake Reynolds and Asumi Nakayama) were voted captains and I feel really good about chemistry,” said Nixon. “With Kayla (Burningham) coming back along with Jenna (Johnson) and Erika (Newbold), they have prepared themselves for a bigger role and they’re ready for that. The thing I know about the younger kids too is they bring a work ethic and the attitude of coachability.” After four seasons of stability, continuity and near-perfect health, the Wolverine program enters the upcoming campaign in transition mode. UVU does return three-fifths of its starting five from last year’s schoolrecord 17-10 season. But it’s more about the two that don’t return that will have the biggest impact on the program.

Robyn Fairbanks and Sandy Wall; a year ago nearly 40 points per game between them, far and away the top two point-producers in
school history and in Fairbanks, a three-time All-American and Independent Player of the Year that finished her career with over 2,500 points and 1,000 rebounds. “I don’t know that you’ll ever replace those kids. Robyn, with what she did while she was here would be next to impossible for anyone to replace her. But I feel good about the cumulative impact that the kids coming back can have,” said Nixon. “We’re going to need to be a different team offensively. Obviously our focus the last four years has been through Robyn and the inside game but we now need to be more balanced. “ Of those that do return the biggest weight will be thrown on the back of Smith, the Great West Conference Preseason Player of the Year. Smith, whose maiden name is McMurray, was married over the summer after averaging 18.3 points per game in a breakout year that pretty much everyone saw coming. Smith who can and will score from an array of different ways, will need help so opposing defenses can’t just zero in on her. It’s something she provided for Fairbanks last year and it’s something that players like Burningham look to provide. Point guard Nakayama and forward Reynolds join Smith as three

returning. Burningham is the lone junior with a pair of sophomores in Johnson and Newbold also returning. For the first time since the 2004-05 season, Nixon has six freshmen on the roster and like in that season that introduced Fairbanks and Wall, the coach will have to rely on help from the rookies in order to provide depth and to be successful. High school teammates Cydne Mason and Kaycee Mansfield, who helped lead American Fork High School to the Utah State Championship as high school seniors, are two of the newcomers expected to see significant time on the court. Mansfield, who’s known for her defensive prowess, scored 14 points in UVU’s exhibition win over Montana Tech last week. “She’s a dark-horse candidate. She’s subtle in what she does but she really has excelled in our practices with what she’s done,” said Nixon of Mansfield. “The freshmen have brought an energy, added enthusiasm and a focus and a determination to be successful that’s been infectious to all of us.” Caitlin Bogle (Crocker, Mo.), Brynn Bradley (Highlands Ranch, Colo.), Kyra Prause (Arlington, Wash.), and Chantelle Martin (South Surrey, British Columbia) round out the remaining freshmen on the roster.
The Wolverines will waste no time getting games under their belt. After opening with BYU on Friday, Nov. 13, the team hosts Mesa State the following, the College of Idaho two days later and then hits the road for games at Mississippi State, who was three spots outside the preseason AP Top 25, and Longwood. By Nov. 20, the team will have opened the year with five games in the first eight days. In addition to playing road games at all five Division I in-state schools, Utah Valley also begins its first season in the Great West Conference. The Wolverines, who were picked second the GWC preseason poll, open the conference schedule on Jan. 9 against Chicago State. “It’s a perfect year to have it be the first year. It’s going to take some time for this team to come into its own and develop a personality. To have the focus be able to be a little bit more on the end of the year, having a preseason, conference season and a conference tournament, works nicely with the dynamics of our team,” said Nixon. Utah Valley University will host the first-ever Great West Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championships March 10-13 at the McKay Center.

Cathy Nixon is entering her 15th year as the head coach of Utah Valley women’s basketball in 2009-10. During her tenure, Nixon’s teams have consistently displayed hard work and character, on and off the court. Nixon spent the past six seasons of her coaching career ushering Utah Valley into NCAA Division I Athletics.

- UTAH VA LL EY BAS K ET BAL L
Last year, Nixon led the team to its best record, 17-10, at the NCAA level and to the Division I Independent Championship after three straight tournament wins to end the year. The 2008-09 season was also the third consecutive that Robyn Fairbanks earn All-America status. As a senior, Fairbanks became just the 20th player in NCAA history to surpass 2,500 points and 1,000 rebounds in a career. Nixon has been at the helm for many landmark milestones at Utah Valley, as the school enjoys its new status as a university and also its first NCAA Division I conference as a member of the Great West Conference. In 2007-08, Nixon coached Utah Valley to what was then its most successful record in five years at the NCAA level, finishing with a 16-12 mark and garnering her first Division I Independent Coach of the Year Award. That season also saw the first time a Utah Valley program received a vote in any top 25 poll, in any sport, as the team received one 25th place vote in the Associated Press Poll for two consecutive weeks in December. A small feat for many but for Nixon an accomplishment that validates the successful progression from junior college to NCAA Division I. Off of the court and inside the classroom, Nixon’s teams have excelled tremendously. After the 2006-07 season, Utah Valley was ranked No.
24 in the country in the WBCA Academic Top 25 Team Honor Roll. The following year saw the team GPA rise to 3.419, good enough for a No. 9 ranking on the 2008 WBCA Honor Roll. The 2008-09 team ranked 12th on the honor roll. In the spring of 2009, six of Utah Valley’s players were also named Great West Academic All-Conference team. Under Nixon, Fairbanks was also selected to the ESPN Academic All-District Second Team during her sophomore season and as a senior was named to the NACDA I-AAA Scholar Athlete Team. Nixon’s career record stands at 264-159 record in 14 seasons, including two NJCAA National Championships appearances at the junior college level. In 2005-06, she led the team to a 11 wins, including 10 against Division-I schools. All of it came with four freshmen in the starting lineup for the majority of the season. During the inaugural NCAA season in 2003-04, the Wolverines finished with a respectable 11-13 record seeing its first action against DivisionI competition. During Utah Valley’s days at the junior college level, Nixon coached three Academic All-Americans, four Kodak All-Americans and two NJCAA All-Americans, including Utah Valley Hall of Fame guard Tricia Ferrin (1995-96). In her inaugural year (1995-96), Nixon guided Utah Valley to its best finish ever during the school’s junior college era. After claiming the Scenic West Athletic Conference (SWAC), Region 18, and District crowns, Nixon’s squad went on to take fourth in the country at the
7 - W o lveri n eG reen. com
NJCAA National Championships. The Wolverines finished 29-6 that year, earning Nixon Region 18 Coach of the Year honors. Nixon also led Utah Valley to the SWAC title in her second year (1996-97) with a 15-3 league record and 25-7 overall mark. She led the Wolverines back to the NJCAA National Championships in the 2000-01 season. The team finished the year 27-10 and in seventh place at the national tournament. Her entire junior college coaching career saw her amass an impressive 190-73 record in eight total seasons. Prior to taking over as head coach, Nixon served four years as an assistant to long-time coach Tom Perkins. During that time, the Wolverines had four Academic All-Americans, three Kodak All-Americans and two NJCAA All-Americans. Before coming to Utah Valley, Nixon served as an assistant coach at Brigham Young University for three years; one year under Courtney Leishman and two years with Jeanie Wilson. In May of 2000, Nixon served as an assistant coach at the R. William Jones Cup Team Trials at the US Olympic Trainning Facility in Colorado Springs. There Nixon served under gold medal winning USA Women’s Basketball Coach Nell Fortner, who is the current coach at Auburn, and coached gold medalist and WNBA AllStar Sue Bird. As a player Nixon earned All-State honors four times at Duncanville High School in Duncanville, Texas, and led her team to the state finals twice. She was named a high school All-American during both her junior and senior seasons.
Nixon’s Career Record
After graduation from Duncanville in 1984, Nixon, who was one of the most sought after prep recruits in the nation, went on to play college basketball for Brigham Young University, where she became a four-year starter for a Cougar club that finished no worse than second in the conference during her time there.
Year Overall Record 1995-96 29-6 1996-97 25-7 1997-98 23-10 1998-99 15-17 1999-00 22-9 2000-01 27-10 2001-02 24-7 2002-03 25-7 2003-04 11-13 2004-05 4-22 2005-06 11-16 2006-07 15-13 2007-08 16-12 2008-09 17-10
She is currently the fifth highest scorer in BYU women’s basketball history with 1,771 career points. She is also fifth all-time in blocks at BYU with 79. On October 19, 2007, Nixon was enshrined into the Brigham Young University Athletics Hall of Fame.
Junior College Record NCAA Record Career Record
She played at Duncanville for legendary coach Sandra Meadows, who led the school to four state titles during her tenure. Meadows is enshrined in the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame and the Duncanville Pantherettes now play in Sandra Meadows Memorial Arena, named after the late coach.
In addition to receiving numerous conference, region, and tournament awards, she garnered All-Conference recognition all four years, and All-America status her sophomore, junior and senior seasons. Nixon final averages as a Cougar are 16.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.5 steals per game. She shot 50 percent from the field and 73 percent from the free throw line. Her career best in scoring came against Florida in 1987 when she netted 36 points. Her career high in rebounds came against the Nebraska Cornhuskers on December 4, 1985, when she pulled down 16 boards. Nixon graduated from Brigham Young University in 1989 with a bachelor’s degree in elementary education. She later completed her master’s degree in education, also from BYU. She comes from a basketball family with four older brothers, who all played basketball throughout high school. Her brother Tom also played for BYU on the junior varsity squad.

November 15, 2008 (Orem, Utah - The McKay Center)
OREM, Utah - Despite a big night from Robyn Fairbanks and Julie McMurray, the Utah Valley women’s basketball team dropped its season opener, 94-71, to Montana State on Friday night in Orem.
OREM, Utah - Five different players reached double figures led by 22 points from Robyn Fairbanks as Utah Valley rebounded from Friday’s loss for a big 83-39 win over Mesa State on Saturday afternoon.
Fairbanks had 31 points, 13 rebounds and three blocks, and McMurray added 25 as the Canadian duo combined for 55 of the Wolverines’ (0-1) 71 points.
Fairbanks was 10-for-11 from the field while Kayla Burningham and Sandy Marvin-Wall both had 14 points. Julie McMurray added 12 and 10 rebounds and Lauren Smith had 10 points and a career-high 12 boards for her first career double-double.
The Bobcats (1-0) scored 55 second half points after holding a five-point lead at halftime to stop Utah Valley’s 15-game winning streak inside The McKay Center. “It’s unacceptable to give up 94 points. Not here at home, not on the road,” said head coach Cathy Nixon. “I’ve got to dig down into those kids and get them to work harder. Montana State is a very good basketball team, they played well. But we absolutely did not defensively do what we needed to do.” Montana State used a 36-17 run over a 10-minute span of the second half, turning a one point MSU lead into an 86-66 edge with just over three minutes remaining.
“She went in there with no fear and an attitude and just established herself physicially,” said head coach Cathy Nixon of Smith. “She’s been working hard, she had a great off-season and I’m excited for her.” Defensively, the Wolverines (1-1) forced 26 turnovers and limited the Mavericks to 28.6 percent (16-for-56) from the field while also winning the rebounding battle 44-to-27. UVU offset its own 23 turnovers by hitting 55.4 percent (31-for-56) from the field including 9-of-16 (56.3) from the three-point line.
Fairbanks hit 12-of-21 from the field and 7-for-10 from the free-throw line for her 13th career 30 point game and 33rd career double-double. The senior finished fourth among Division I players in 2007-08 with 23.8 points per game.
“When we do play good team defense I think we’re going to be a very good team. Defense and rebounding is where we have to find our identity,” said Nixon. “I hope that we can learn a lesson that if we can focus on the process, regardless of who we play, that we can be successful.”
MSU got a balanced scoring attack with six players in double figures led by 15 apiece from Erica Perry and Sarah Strand. Former Mountain View High School (Orem) star Nubia Garcia had 14 points and nine rebounds while Jenny Heringer and a double-double with 12 points and 11 boards.
After a sluggish start allowed Mesa State to take a 13-9 lead midway through the opening half, the Wolverines rattled of 15 straight points to take a 24-13 advantage and control of the game. Kim Koeven’s three with 9:37 left in the first half gave UVU a 14-13 edge, a lead they wouldn’t relinquish.
In the opening half, the Bobcats used a 10-0 run on field goals from five different players to take a 21-12 lead at the 12:25 mark. The Wolverines came right back with 11 straight to take a two point edge, 25-23 with McMurray scoring the last seven of the run for UVU.
Overall, the Wolverines ended the half on a 30-to-3 run capped off by a Smith lay in from Hollie Beaman, one of her seven assists, right as time expired to put UVU up 39-16 at the break.
After McMurray hit two free throws put the Wolverines up 34-31, Montana State ended the half on an 8-0 run to take a 39-34 lead into the break.

Nov. 19, 2008 (Spokane, Wash. - McCarthey AC) SPOKANE, Wash. - Robyn Fairbanks scored 29 points for Utah Valley but an early second half run at Gonzaga cost the Wolverines (1-2) in a 95-79 loss on Wednesday night. Fairbanks hit 10-of-13 from the field and pulled down nine rebounds, but the Bulldogs’ (3-0) defensive pressure forced 33 Utah Valley turnovers, leading to 34 GU points. Tied at 44 at the half, Gonzaga (3-0) began the second half on a 13-0 run during a four-minute stretch in which Utah Valley attempted just two field goals due to eight turnovers. The Bulldogs maintained a double digit lead the rest of the way, leading by as much as 19. Sandy Marvin-Wall was the only other UVU player in double digits, finishing with 10 points and five assists. Julie McMurray finished with nine points but was limited due to foul trouble and fouled out with five minutes to play. The Wolverines hit 54.9 percent (28-for-51) from the field including a blistering 10-for-15 from the three-point line while the Bulldogs hit 46.8 (37-for-79) percent while attempting 28 more shot attempts than UVU. Tiffanie Shives led Gonzaga with 25 points on 9-of-14 from the field, including 4-for-6 from the three-point line. Heather Bowman finished with 19 and Courtney Vandersloot had a double double with 15 points and 10 assists to go along with four steals. Gonzaga won the battle of the boards, finishing with a 37-to-33 edge. The Bulldogs finished with 19 rebounds on the offensive glass, leading to 15 second chance points. The Wolverines jumped out to an 11-2 lead less than three minutes into the game after hitting their first five shots. Gonzaga came back with a 14-0 run to build a five-point advantage. With the score tied at 28 with 8:27 left in the half, another 11-2 run put the Wolverines up 39-30 before the Bulldogs closed the half on a 14-5 run.

Nov. 19, 2008 (Albuquerque, N.M. - The Pit) Albuquerque, N.M. - Julie McMurray had 25 points and nine rebounds but Utah Valley came up short, 84-70, at New Mexico in front of 6,790 fans on Tuesday night in The Pit. Sandy Marvin-Wall and Robyn Fairbanks both had 14 points for the Wolverines (1-3). Fairbanks also had eight boards but was limited due to foul trouble including just six minutes in the first half. The Lobos (4-1) got 17 apiece from Amy Beggin and Angela Hartill. Beggin also had eight rebounds, six assists and four steals. McMurray singlehandedly kept the Wolverines in the game early after Fairbanks picked up her second foul with 10:32 left in the opening half and UVU down 17-5. Utah Valley jumped right back into it though with a 10-4 run led by five points from McMurray and capped by a Kim Koeven three to trim the deficit to four. Lauren Smith also made a nice contribution off the bench in the half, hitting both of her field goal attempts for four points. Smith finished the game with six points. UVU got within a point, 32-31, on an Asumi Nakayama free throw with 1:12 left in the half before the Lobos hit three freebies to end the half with a 35-31 advantage. In the second half Beggin took over, scoring 15 of her 17 points including three, three pointers, each of which seemed to come at just the right time for the Lobos. Utah Valley withstood several New Mexico runs, climbing within two points on three different occasions with as late as 10 minutes remaining, but Beggin and the Lobos were too much. The Wolverines finished with 20 turnovers, but just six came in the second half. New Mexico won the battle on the boards 42-37 and got to the free throw line 30 times, hitting 23, compared to a 10-for-14 night from the charity stripe for UVU.

Dec. 2, 2008 (Honolulu, Hawai’i - Stan Sheriff Center) HONOLULU, Hawai`i - Julie McMurray scored a career high 30 points but Utah Valley started slow and couldn’t recover, losing 77-70 at Hawai’i on Tuesday night in Honolulu. A 2-for-16 start, combined with two quick fouls whistled on leading scorer Robyn Fairbanks, was too much to overcome for the Wolverines (2-4), who were scrambling the entire night to try and overcome the Rainbow Wahine (1-6). Fairbanks picked up her second foul less than four minutes into the game and was forced to sit the rest of the half, going scoreless in the half after playing less than three minutes. Offense was hard to come by early as neither team scored for a five-minute span with the score stuck at 9-5. The Wolverines ended up going over six minutes without a point until Kayla Burningham hit a bucket with 8:19 left in the half.
After carrying a six point lead into half time, Utah Valley pushed the lead up to as much as nine and led by eight, 52-44, with 12:29 remaining. Boise State (2-4) then went on a 16-4 run to take a six-point lead and control of the game.
Hawai’i used a 14-2 run to build a 20-7 lead with 7:45 left in the half. Utah Valley trimmed the lead to seven after Sandy Marvin-Wall stole a pass and hit a 15-foot jumper before entering the half down eight, 31-23.
Trailing 66-60 with 3:12 left, Marvin-Wall scored on a layup and a three pointer to get UVU within one at the 2:30 mark.
In the second half, UVU scored the first four points to get within four before the Rainbow Wahine went on a 12-2 spurt to run the lead to 44-30, the biggest of the game.
Sierra Moeller pushed the Bronco lead back to three with a bucket before Fairbanks got an offensive rebound and put it back to get back within one. After a BSU miss on the next possession, Marvin-Wall beat the defense back and gave the Wolverines a 69-68 lead with 57 seconds to go.
The Wolverines clawed back again though, eventually getting within three, 50-47, with just over 10 minutes left after Marvin-Wall hit a three. Hawai’I scored the next seven though to get the lead back to double digits with 7:26 left in the game.
Nakayama then came up with a huge steal, picking the pocket of Brittany Moore with 32 seconds before getting fouled and hitting the first two of her late free throws. Courtney Van Brocklin came back with two freebies for the Broncos to make it a one-point game with 5.5 seconds left before Nakayama calmly sank two more with four seconds on the clock before coming up with the game-ending steal at mid-court. The Broncos were led by Van Brocklin’s 19 points off the bench while Heather Pilcher scored 13, also in reserve. Utah Valley overcame 26 turnovers by hitting 54.4 percent from the field compared to 38.2 percent from Boise State. The Wolverines also had a slight 41-37 edge on the boards.

That run was answered by six straight, capped by a three-point play from Fairbanks, making it 57-53 with 5:47 remaining. Megan Tinnan then led the Rainbow Wahine on the run that UVU would not be able to answer, hitting two three pointers and scoring eight during a run in which the lead was back up to nine, 67-58, with under four minutes to go. McMurray hit 10-for-19 from the floor as part of her career night. Fairbanks finished with 15 point and five rebounds, hitting 6-of-10 from the floor, and Marvin-Wall had 11 points and four steals.

Dec. 5, 2008 (La’ie, Hawai’i - Cannon Activities Center) La’ie, Hawai’i - Julie McMurray hit a three-pointer with 3.3 seconds left as Utah Valley upset USC, 66-64, on Friday at the Hukilau Invitational at BYU-Hawai’i. McMurray, who finished with eight points and seven rebounds, took a pass from Sandy Marvin-Wall a hit the game-winner right from the top of the three-point line, giving the Wolverines (3-4) their first win ever over a Pac-10 school. With the USC defense swarming her all night, Fairbanks came up with 26 points in 26 minutes and scored seven late points to help erase a six-point deficit with 2:37 left. Fairbanks’ three out of a timeout got UVU within three, 62-56, before a Camille Lenoir layup but the Trojans (4-2) back up by five. Fairbanks trimmed the USC back to three with a layup and then hit two free-throws with 47 seconds left to get the Wolverines within a point. After Lenoir missed a runner with 28 seconds to go, Hollie Beaman pulled down the defensive rebound, setting up McMurray’s game-winning bucket. USC was led by 11 points from Nadia Parker and 10 off the bench from Brynn Cameron. Aarika Hughes had nine rebounds for the Trojans, who out-rebounded the Wolverines 45-35, with 21 boards coming on the offensive end, leading to 15 second chance points. UVU overcame that difference by hitting 46.4 percent (25-for-56) from the field while USC shot 34.8 percent. Utah Valley carried a five-point lead into the break despite playing without Fairbanks for much of the half after she picked up two fouls. Offensively, Nakayama carried the Wolverines with Fairbanks on the bench, scoring all nine of her points in the opening half and hitting all four of her field goal attempts, helping her team to a 35-30 lead at the break. The Wolverines maintained the lead up until Cameron knocked down a three with 11:53 to go, putting USC up 49-46. Fairbanks’ tip-in with 9:07 capped a quick 6-2 spurt and put UVU back up by one, 53-52. Hughes then hit back-to-back buckets to put USC up 56-53 and the Wolverines trailed until McMurray’s final shot.

Dec. 13, 2008 (Orem, Utah - The McKay Center)
La’ie, Hawai’i - After building an 11-point lead early in the second half, Utah Valley went cold and lost the lead and the game to San Diego, 81-70, on Saturday at the Hukilau Invitational on the campus of BYU-Hawai’i.
OREM, Utah - The Canadian duo of Julie McMurray and Robyn Fairbanks combined for 49 points and 27 rebounds as Utah Valley withstood a late Idaho State run to win 76-65 on Saturday at The McKay Center.
The Wolverines (3-5) led 49-38 with 14:56 left before the Toreros (6-3) used a 15-2 run over the next five minutes to take a 53-51 lead with 10:26 remaining.
McMurray tied a career high with 30 points and 10 rebounds while Fairbanks finished with 19 points and 17 rebounds. Fairbanks became the first Utah Valley University player to reach 2,000 career points with a jumper just inside the paint at the 10:28 mark of the first half.
After Sandy Marvin-Wall hit a three to put UVU up 62-51 at the 5:51 mark, Morgan Henderson took over for San Diego, hitting back-to-back three pointers and scoring 10 points to lead her team on a 14-2 run, leading USD to to the win. Robyn Fairbanks, Julie McMurray and Marvin-Wall combined for 65 points with Fairbanks’ 28 leading the way. The senior now has 1,995 career points, five shy of 2,000 for her career. McMurray and Marvin-Wall both finished with 19. The Wolverines, who hit 51.6 percent from the floor and had a six-point lead at the half, shot just 33.3 percent in the second half and finished the game 28-for-67 (41.8 percent). Conversely, San Diego rebounded from just 34.2 percent in the opening half to hit 56.3 percent over the final 20 minutes and 44.3 percent (31-for-70) for the game. Kiva Herman led the Toreros with 25 points while Henderson, who had 16 in the second half, and Amber Sprague both had 19. San Diego’s trapping defense forced 13 steals and Utah Valley into 21 turnovers, leading to 26 Torero points. The Wolverines had the slightest of edges in rebounds, 41-40.

“Robyn reaching 2,000 points is phenomenal. I can’t congratulate her enough,” said head coach Cathy Nixon. “And Julie was awesome. She’s been stepping up consistently for us when the game is on the line and that’s really helping to be a more versatile team.” “Defenses key on Robyn and she’s still going to get her points,” said McMurray. “That opens up the perimeter more for everyone and when someone else can score too it makes it a lot harder for teams to defend us.” Asumi Nakayama dished out 10 assists for the Wolverines (4-5) and Hollie Beaman had four steals off the bench as UVU evened the all-time series with the Bengals (3-8) at three wins apiece. After building an 11-point half time lead at 39-28, Utah Valley could not shake Idaho State, who after falling behind by as much as 12, knotted the game at 52 on a Devin Diehl three with 8:09 left. After a timeout McMurray broke the tie with a jumper, Sandy Wall hit a three, Fairbanks scored on a put back and McMurray capped a 9-0 run with two free-throws with 4:15 remaining. Jenna Brown hit a three to trim the lead back to six, 6357, at the 3:27 mark, but that’s as close as the Bengals could come.

OREM, Utah - Robyn Fairbanks had another big game but Utah Valley was unable to hand Mississippi State its first loss, falling 71-63 on Friday at The McKay Center. Fairbanks finished with 26 points and 13 rebounds on 10-of-16 shooting as the Wolverines dropped to 4-6 while the Lady Bulldogs improved to a perfect 9-0.
PORTLAND, Oregon - Utah Valley survived a wild second half comeback to top Portland State, 102-92, in overtime on the road on Monday night behind 34 points and 14 rebounds from Robyn Fairbanks and 11 points and a school record 13 assists from Asumi Nakayama.
PORTLAND, Oregon - Two days after scoring a season high 102 points, Utah Valley suffered its worst shooting performance of the season and just 11 first half points, falling 86-60 at Portland Wednesday afternoon.
Robin Porter began the 9-0 MSU spurt when she grabbed an offensive board and scored and was fouled. Following a Wolverine turnover, Alexis Rack hit a three followed by a Armelie Lumanu three on a possession in which Porter had two offensive rebounds. The Wolverines got within five on a Julie McMurray three with 47 seconds left but the Lady Bulldogs, who were relentless on the boards all night, hauled down two offensive boards off of free throws in the final 17 seconds to seal the win. Overall, Mississippi State outrebounded Utah Valley 41-35 and had a 19-to-11 edge on the offensive glass, leading to 23 second chance points. “Against a team like that there’s not a big margin of error,” said UVU head coach Cathy Nixon. “I was pleased with a lot of aspects of the game. I thought we defended well on their first shots but we struggled keeping them off the boards and it was obvious that giving up those offensive rebounds turned things for us.” Wall had 16 points, six rebounds and four assists for UVU but McMurray, the team’s second leading scorer, was limited to five points while playing just four first half minutes due to foul trouble. The first half saw nine lead changes and seven ties before Mary Kathryn Govero, who has a team-high 16 for MSU, gave her team a 29-28 lead with 3:21 left before the Lady Bulldogs carried a 33-30 advantage into the break. MSU never trailed in the second half. Rack finished with 13 for Mississippi State and Lumanu had a double double with 10 points and 11 rebounds to go along with five steals and four assists.

In a game that was eerily similar to one two years ago in the same gym, the Vikings (7-5) erased a late double digit deficit to tie the game with 5.1 seconds left on a Courtney Cremer three that banked in, knotting the game at 82.
The first half stat sheet told the story as the Wolverines (57) were just 4-for-31 (12.9 percent) from the field after 20 minutes. Conversely, the Pilots (7-6) were 17-for-31 in the first half while turning 14 UVU turnovers into 15 points on their way to a 42-11 lead at the break.
After Nakayama’s driving layup fell just off the rim at the buzzer, Fairbanks took over, scoring the first six points in overtime as part of an 8-0 run to start the extra frame as the Wolverines improved to 5-6.
The Wolverines finished the game 22-for-66 (33.3 percent), the first time this season they’ve been below 40 percent from the field. Portland was 32-for-59 (54.2 percent) for the game.
Remarkably, Fairbanks was limited to just 22 minutes due to foul trouble, including just four points and six minutes at the half. She scored 21 points in the second half and nine in overtime.
After Robyn Fairbanks scored the Wolverines’ first bucket of the game at the 17:49 mark, Portland scored the next 20 points over nearly seven minutes to take a 25-2 lead. Utah Valley wouldn’t score again until there was 10:44 left in the half on two Fairbanks free throws.
Nakayama’s school assist record came on a night when she recorded her first career double double. Julie McMurray finished with 24 points while Wall had 19, including 13 in a first half where she carried UVU offensively. Newbold scored a career high six pints, all in the first half, and Reynolds also finished with six points and a career high nine rebounds. Kelsey Kahle finished with 30 to lead Portland State, hitting a perfect 12-for-12 from the free throw line. Both teams shot well from the charity stripe; the Vikings were 18-for21 (85.7 percent) and the Wolverines were 29-for-33 as Nakayama, McMurray and Wall combined to hit all 18 of their free throws. Utah Valley held a 72-61 lead with 3:07 left before Portland State chipped away over the next two minutes, pulling within two, 81-79, with 38 seconds left on a Jamie Roupp lay up before Cremer tied it with the three to send it to overtime. The Wolverines were 34-for-71 (47.9 percent) from the field for the game including 4-for-4 in overtime. Fairbanks was 11-for-17, hitting 9-for-11 after the first half as she recorded her 38th career double double and 14th career 30-point game. It’s the sixth time in school history that Utah Valley has scored more than 100 points, including two straight against Portland State.

OREM, Utah - The Canadian duo of Robyn Fairbanks and Julie McMurray combined for 64 points as Utah Valley held off Utah State, 84-79, on Saturday afternoon in the McKay Center.
EDINBURG, Texas - Utah Valley mounted a furious secondhalf comeback but dropped a heartbreaker, 57-56, at Texas-Pan American on Saturday night behind 22 points from Julie McMurray and 21 from Robyn Fairbanks.
Fairbanks finished with 33 points, including 21 in the second half, while McMurray scored 18 of her career high 31 in the first half. McMurray hit 13-for-18 from the field including 5-for-8 from the three point line, tying the school record for three pointers made in a game. Fairbanks hit 13-for-20 for the game and was 8-of-10 in the second half as the Wolverines (6-7) hit 55.2 percent from the field.
After trailing by 18 at the half, the Wolverines (6-8) outscored the Lady Broncs (9-8) 37-20 in the second half and took a 56-55 lead on a McMurray three-pointer with 43 seconds left. But Aleeya Grigsby’s put back with 22 seconds to go ended up as the game-winner as UVU had a chance to win it at the buzzer but could not get a shot off in time.
Asumi Nakayama dished out eight assists and Sandy Wall finished with eight points, five rebounds and four assists as Utah Valley finished with 24 assists and a season low 12 turnovers. Ana Pares scored a career high 25 for Utah State (6-7) and was 5-for-8 from the three point line while Danyelle Snelgro finished with 17. The Wolverines used a 13-4 run midway through the first half to build a 30-19 lead, their biggest of the game. Utah State crept right back into the game, getting within one at 38-37 on a Snelgro three before a Fairbanks bucket gave UVU a 40-37 edge at the break. In the second half the Aggies tied the game five times but could never grab the lead. Alice Coddington hit two free throws to tie the game at 56 with 12:12 remaining when Fairbanks took over the game, scoring the next seven points to give the Wolverines the lead for good. Utah State got within two with 4:01 left on a Coddington three before McMurray answered with a three that hit the front of the rim and dropped in, making it 76-71 with 3:17 remaining. A Fairbanks bucket and two Nakayama free throws increased the lead to nine as the Wolverines took a 3-2 series lead and have won three straight against their in state foes.

Fairbanks was limited to just six minutes in the first half after picking up two quick fouls. With Fairbanks, the nation’s second leader scorer, on the bench the Wolverines struggled to get the ball inside and hit just four of their final 18 shots, most of which came from the perimeter. After McMurray converted on a three-point play after a free throw, UTPA closed the first half on an 18-3 run, capped Jessica Walker’s three at the buzzer, and carried a 37-19 lead into the break. UVU ended the half 7-for-22 (31.8 percent) from the field including 3-of-11 from the three-point line while UTPA was an even 50 percent (14-for-28) after 20 minutes. The Wolverines chipped away at the half time deficit behind a strong start to the second half by Fairbanks, who scored 11 of Utah Valley’s first 13 points in the half and assisted on the other field goal. UVU got within five, 47-42, on Blake Reynolds’ bucket with 11:53 left before the Lady Broncs extended the lead back into double digits on two separate occasions, the latest coming at the 5:48 mark on two Ephiphany Smith free throws. Fairbanks scored and McMurray hit one-of-two free throws to get it within eight before Kayla Burningam stole an outlet pass and scored to get the Wolverines within six. Two Fairbanks freebies and a McMurray bucket made it 55-53 with 1:09 left before McMurray’s go-ahead three. After the miserable-shooting first half, Utah Valley hit 50 percent in the second half and finished the game at 41.7 percent (20-for-48). UTPA, which shot 39.6 percent (21-for53) for the game, made a concerted effort to work the clock offensively, holding the typically high-scoring Wolverines to 20 points below their season average and a season-low 56 points.

Jan. 13, 2009 (Orem, Utah - The McKay Center) OREM, Utah - Seniors Robyn Fairbanks and Sandy Wall both had big nights as Utah Valley overcame a sluggish start to pick up an easy 72-50 win over Southern Utah on Tuesday. Fairbanks had 34 points and 12 rebounds for her 40th career double-double while also taking over national lead in scoring at 24.9 points per game. Wall finished with 19 points, four assists and three steals while another senior, Hollie Beaman, had six points, four assists and two steals as the Wolverines improved to 7-8. Wall was a perfect 5-for-5 from the three-point line and in the process became the Wolverines’ all-time leader in three-point field goals made. Anne Westwood-Higbee had 11 points and 13 rebounds for the Thunderbirds (6-10), but UVU held SUU to just 19-for-70 from the field (27.1 percent). Utah Valley hit 42.9 percent (27-for-63) from the field after starting the game just 1-of-11. The Wolverines trailed 18-17 with 6:40 left before Fairbanks scored eight points during a 15-0 run to end the half, giving UVU at 32-18 lead as the All-American senior equaled SUU’s point total after 20 minutes of action. Southern Utah got within 11 after Dani Hosking scored on a three-point play to begin the second half, but that’s as close as the game would be the rest of the way. The Wolverines quickly stretched the lead to 20 with a 9-0 spurt, extending the run that ended the first half to 24-3 over a nine minute span. Utah Valley actually shot better from the three-point line (9for-13) than the free-throw line (9-for-14) thanks in large part to Wall’s night. The Wolverines also totaled 22 assists on the night with five players dishing out three or more.

Feb. 12, 2009 (Newark, New Jersey - The Prudential Center) NEWARK, New Jersey - Robyn Fairbanks recorded her fourth straight double-double with 30 points and 13 rebounds as Utah Valley won its sixth straight, 70-58, over NJIT at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey on Thursday. Fairbanks was an impressive 12-for-15 from the floor in her sixth 30-point game of the season. She posted the numbers in just 22 minutes against the Highlanders (5-16), a future Great West Conference foe for UVU. The Wolverines (12-8) used a 16-0 run midway through the first half to turn a one-point deficit into a 29-14 advantage. Julie McMurray scored seven points during the run and capped it with a 3-pointer from the corner at the 6:38 mark. McMurray scored 18 in the half while Fairbanks, who played just seven minutes after picking up two fouls, hit all five of her attempts and had 10 points. Utah Valley hit 56 percent from the field in the first half and used a 21-10 advantage on the boards to carry a 37-23 lead into the break. In the second half, a Fairbanks three with 12:28 left in the game gave UVU its biggest lead, 58-40. Two quick whistles then sent Fairbanks to the bench with four fouls. From that point the Wolverine offense sputtered, going nearly four minutes without a point as the Highlanders scored nine straight points, six of which came on two Jill Dickinson 3-pointers. Fairbanks ended the run with a bucket with 6:42 left, on her first possession back into the game, followed by a Hollie Beaman layup that pushed the lead back to 13. NJIT could not get closer than 11 the rest of the way. McMurray finished with 22 points and six rebounds while Sandy Wall finished with eight. Erika Newbold had four points and six rebounds off the bench for the Wolverines while Asumi Nakayama had six assists and Hollie Beaman dished out five. Fairbanks, who entered the day second in the nation in scoring by one-tenth of a point, regained the top spot, improving her average to 25.7 per game.

Feb. 17, 2009 (Athens, Ohio - Convocation Center) ATHENS, Ohio - Despite 32 points and 10 rebounds from Robyn Fairbanks and 23 points from Sandy Wall, Utah Valley’s seven-game winning streak came to an end at Ohio University, 83-74. Fairbanks, who finished with three blocks, recorded her sixth consecutive double-double and 45th of her career. It was also her 20th career 30-point game. She scored 20 points in the second half while Wall had 19 of her points after the break. Julie McMurray finished with 13 points, six rebounds and seven assists and Asumi Nakayama also had seven assists for UVU. Playing their third road game in six nights, the Wolverines (13-9) could not overcome a sluggish first half on the offensive end. Clinging to an early 19-16 advantage with nine minutes remaining in the first half, UVU went cold. The Bobcats (9-15) went on a 10-0 run over the next six minutes before Fairbanks finally ended the scoreless drought on a layup with three minutes left. Ohio closed the half on a 21-6 run to take a 37-25 lead at the break. Jennifer Bushby scored all 12 of her first half points during the run including a jumper as time expired. Bushby finished with a team-high 22 points, six assists and four steals. Utah Valley trimmed the deficit to five, 46-41, with 14:48 remaining on a McMurray layup but could get no closer the rest of the way. The Wolverines got within six on two occasions, but each time the Bobcats were able to push the lead back into double digits. Ohio held a slim 37-34 advantage on the glass, both teams had 20 assists and the Wolverines had 14 turnovers compared to 15 by the home team. The Bobcats were 32-for-62 (51.6 percent) from the field while UVU shot 46.3 percent (31-for67). The most glaring statistical difference came from the 3-point line, where Ohio hit 5-of-11 compared to just 2-for-17 (11.8 percent) for the Wolverines. Fairbanks upped her nation-leading scoring average to 26.2 points per game and is now just eight rebounds shy of becoming the first UVU player with 1,000 boards. Tuesday’s game gives her 2,382 career points and was also her 75th consecutive game scoring in double figures. She has scored in double figures 99 times in 105 career games.

FARGO, North Dakota - Robyn Fairbanks became the first Utah Valley player to reach 1,000 rebounds in the Wolverines’ (13-10) 90-75 loss at North Dakota State on Monday night. She entered the game needing eight rebounds to reach the mark and got number 1,000 with 1:25 left in the first half.
OREM, Utah - Robyn Fairbanks had a season-high 41 points on 18-for-20 from the field and Sandy Wall chipped in 25 as Utah Valley outscored NJIT 94-86 on Saturday afternoon. The Wolverines shot a school record 63.3 percent (38-for-60) from the field and tied a school record with 31 assists.
Fairbanks led UVU with 24 points and 10 rebounds, her seventh straight double-double. She also surpassed the 2,400-point mark and scored double figures for the 100th time in her career including the 76th in a row. Sandy Wall had 20 points while Asumi Nakayama hit four 3-pointers on her way to a career-high 16. Both Wall and Nakayama had six assists while Julie McMurray had a game-high 11 rebounds.
It’s the second career 40-point game for Fairbanks, who recorded her eighth consecutive double-double and 47th of her career with 14 rebounds. She upped her nation-leading average to 26.7 points per game on the second highest scoring night of her career. Fairbanks scored 43 against Montana State during the 2006-07 season.
The Wolverines were playing catch-up all night against the Bison (13-12), who shot 52.4 percent (33-for-63) including 57.7 in the second.
Wall was 10-for-19 from the field in 38 minutes. Asumi Nakayama had 12 assists and Hollie Beaman dished out six to go along with five points in 30 minutes. Julie McMurray had 13 points, 11 of which came in the second half.
Despite NDSU’s hot shooting, Utah Valley trailed by only three, 76-73, with 4:07 left before the Bison closed out the game on a 14-2 run. Inger Hodgson hit a three to start the run before Jill Zaruba hit four straight free throws to run the lead to 10. A Nakayama jumper cut the lead to eight, 83-75, with 1:51 remaining before the Bison scored the game’s final seven points.
Despite the record night from the field, the Wolverines (1410) were never able to shake the Highlanders (7-19), who hit 50.8 percent (32-for-63). Kehinde Oyelola led six NJIT players in double figures with 23 on 8-for-12 from the floor including 7-of-9 from the 3-point line, tying a school record for three pointers made in a game. NJIT made 12-of-27 shot from beyond the arc for the game.
Wall scored 11 of her 20 in the second half with nine coming during a stretch when Fairbanks was forced to the bench with four fouls. She entered halftime with just one foul but was whistled for three in the first 2:20 of the second, with the third of the half on an offensive foul away from the ball. With Fairbanks on the bench and UVU down nine, Wall carried the Wolverines on a 9-0 run capped with a Blake Reynolds layup. Wall scored back-to-back buckets to give Utah Valley just its second lead of the game, 61-59, with 10:49 left. Hodgson answered with a three through to put NDSU back up. Utah Valley regained the lead on a McMurray layup but it’s the last lead the Wolverines would have. Birkel responded with another Bison three, one of 10 triples on the night for NDSU. UVU tied it on two different occasions after that but Ashley Samuelson’s jumper with 6:54 to go gave North Dakota State the lead for good. Utah Valley hit 43.9 percent from the floor and a perfect 17-for-17 from the free throw line. The Bison were 14-for-21 from the line. Senior Jerri Penley led five NDSU players in double figures with 19 and eight rebounds.

Jackie McCaffrey added 17 points while Ivana Seric had 11 points to go along with a game-high five steals for the Highlanders. UVU took a 13-3 lead after seven minutes as NJIT struggled to find the bucket. From there though the Highlanders hit their next six shots and eight of their next 10 to tie the game at 23. The game was tied at 28 at the 5:06 mark when Utah Valley went on a 15-2 run to take a 43-30 lead before Maya Al-Shingieti scored for NJIT right before time expired in the first half. In the second half, a 10-2 run got NJIT within two, 59-57, with 14:34 remaining. From there the lead hovered between 3-8 points before the Highlanders were again able to trim the lead to two, 77-75, on a Jill Dickinson three with 6:40 to go. Two McMurray free throws and a Fairbanks’ bucket gave UVU a six-point cushion. The lead was still six, 85-79, when a 5-0 Wolverine spurt pushed the lead to 11, 90-79, with 1:20 left.

Julie McMurray recorded the first triple-double in school history and Robyn Fairbanks had her second straight 40-point game as Utah Valley won its opener of the Division I Independent Championship, 75-66, over NJIT on Thursday.
OREM, Utah - Utah Valley held off Longwood, 81-73, to advance to the championship game of the Division I Independent Women’s Basketball Championship at the McKay Center. The Wolverines (16-10) can set a new school record for wins in a season with a win over Chicago State on Saturday at 7 p.m.
McMurray had 19 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds after picking up her 10th board with 1:07 left in the game. Fairbanks, who scored 41 against NJIT last week, followed that up with 40 points and 16 rebounds and four blocks to up her average to 27.2 points per game, the top scoring average in the country. The Wolverines (15-10) trailed just once, for 24 seconds early in the first half, but much like last week’s game the Highlanders (7-20) could never be put away. NJIT hit 11 3-pointers in the game, seven of which came in the second half, and stayed close despite falling behind by double digits on five different occasions. Utah Valley jumped out to a 20-7 lead, with 11 points from McMurray and nine from Fairbanks, with 12:15 left in the first half. The Wolverines went scoreless over the final 3:01 and the Highlanders closed the half on a 5-0 run to get within four, 32-28, at the break. McMurray and Fairbanks accounted for all but two of UVU’s first-half points. NJIT trimmed the lead to three early in the second on a Jill Dickinson three before a 14-2 run pushed the lead to 50-35, the biggest of the game for the Wolverines. The lead was 13, 53-40, with 11:22 to go when Katie Piekielski hit back-to-back jumpers and Kehinde Oyelola and Jackie McCaffrey hit consecutive 3-pointers on a 10-0 NJIT run. After Fairbanks scored to put UVU up five, Oyelola hit another three to make it a two-point game, 55-53, getting NJIT as close as it had been since the 16:23 mark of the first half. It stayed within a two-possession game until Fairbanks hit two free throws with 3:11 to go to put UVU up 68-61. Taiwo Oyelola answered that with a layup and a 3-point play on a layup and free throw to once again get NJIT within two, 68-66 with 2:12 left. Oyelola’s free throw was the last point the Highlanders would score though as back-to-back buckets from McMurray and Fairbanks and two Asumi Nakayama free throws with 20 second left iced the win for the Wolverines. Twin sisters Taiwo and Kehinde Oyelola led NJIT with 22 and 17 points, respectively. Nakayama finished with eight points and five assists for the Wolverines. Both teams took exceptional care of the basketball. UVU finished with a season-low seven turnovers compared to just eight for NJIT.

Sandy Wall led the UVU with 26 points while Julie McMurray added 23 points and eight rebounds. Krystal Garrison led four Longwood players in double figures with 16 points while Emma Zieverink had nine points and a game-high 11 rebounds for the Lancers (7-21). Robyn Fairbanks spent most of the night in foul trouble before fouling out with 3:42 remaining. Fairbanks finished with nine points, on 3-for-8 shooting, and eight rebounds. Her nine points ends a remarkable streak of 78 consecutive double figure scoring games. The last time Fairbanks didn’t score at least 10 points was November 17, 2006 against Utah. Wall scored 16 of her 26 in the first half including six early as she led Utah Valley to a quick 12-3 lead. With the Wolverines up 14-5, Longwood got back-to-back 3-pointers from Garrison and Zieverink and, following a Blake Reynolds layup, Garrison hit another trey. Sierra Fletcher scored on the next Lancer possession to cap an 11-2 run, tying the game at 16. Longwood took its first lead, 38-36, with 1:35 left before Wall finished the half with five straight points to give the Wolverines a 41-38 lead at the break. Kayla Burningham came off the bench to score eight first-half points, hitting both 3-point shots she attempted. That lead was the Lancers only one of the game. The contest was tied twice in the second before Fairbanks scored with 17:07 left to put Utah Valley up for good. UVU gradually worked the lead up to 10 on a McMurray layup with 5:13 left. Longwood used a 7-1 run to get within four after Fairbanks’ fifth foul. The Wolverines got to the line 10 times over the next three minutes, hitting all 10, to go back up by 10, 78-68, with under a minute to go. Earlier in the day, Savannah State defeated NJIT, 64-56, and Chicago State topped Texas-Pan American, 60-48. Saturday’s championship will be the third time this season that UVU and Chicago State will face one another. The Wolverines beat the Cougars 79-50 in Orem and 79-66 in Chicago earlier this season.

March 7, 2009 (Orem, Utah - The McKay Center) OREM, Utah - Utah Valley set a new school record for wins, running away with the Division I Independent Women’s Basketball Championship, 80-55, over Chicago State on Saturday. The Wolverines finished the year 1710, winning their last four games of the year. Julie McMurray was named the tournament MVP after finishing with 17 points. She opened the tournament with the first triple-double in school history in Thursday’s win over NJIT. Sandy Wall led Utah Valley with 24 and Robyn Fairbanks, who spent most of the night in foul trouble for the second night in a row, finished with 11 and was named to the all-tournament team. Fairbanks led all scorers in the tournament with 20.0 points per game including her 40-point night on Thursday. In the first half she became just the 20th player in NCAA history to record 2,500 points and 1,000 rebounds in her career. She finished with 2,507 career points and a 22.8 per game average, scoring in double figures in 103 out of 110 games over four seasons. The Wolverines took control of the game early, doing a significant portion of their damage from the 3-point line. Wall opened the game with a three and five other players hit at least one from beyond the arc. Kayla Burningham’s trey from the corner capped a 20-7 spurt that saw a six point lead turn into a 19-point advantage, 32-13. Utah Valley took a commanding 43-20 lead into the break, hitting 46.4 percent from the field and holding the Cougars to just 25.8 percent. Wall, Fairbanks and McMurray all reached double figures by half time. It was the final game in the careers of Wall, Fairbanks, Hollie Beaman, Lauren Smith and Jordyn Bowen. Beaman capped her career with seven points, nine assists and two steals and was perfect from the field. Smith had five points in her finale and Bowen added two points and four rebounds. Fairbanks ends the year with averages of 26.0 points and 10.8 rebounds, both school records. Her scoring average will likely place her second among all Division I players in the country when the college basketball season is completed. Utah Valley finished the season, its final as a D-I independent, by winning 11 of the final 13 games.

Fairbanks herself ranked second in the nation in scoring at 26.0 per game and was also among the national Division I leaders with 10.8 rebounds and .603 shooting from the field. After a tough early-season schedule that included games at Gonzaga and New Mexico and home against Mississippi State, the Wolverines saw themselves sitting at 6-8 at the midway point of the season. From there the team caught fire, winning seven straight games to get within one win of securing at least a .500 record for the third straight year. After consecutive losses to drop the team to 13-10, Fairbanks scored 41 points, pulled down 14 rebounds and hit 18-for-20 from the field against NJIT on Senior Night. That night Utah Valley honored Fairbanks, Wall, Hollie Beaman, Lauren Smith Jordyn Bowen for their careers. A week later the team rattled off three more wins including an 80-55 blowout of Chicago State to win the Division I Independent Championship on the McKay Center floor. During the three-game tournament, Fairbanks had another 40-point outing and McMurray recorded the first triple-double in school history with 19 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists against NJIT, and was named the tournament MVP. Following the year Fairbanks was named the Independent Player of the Year for the third straight year and an honorable mention All-American by the Associated Press. The team also had another successful year in the classroom, finishing 12th in the nation in the WBCA Top-25 Team Honor Roll, UVU’s third consecutive year on the list.

J U NIOR C OLLEGE H I ST ORY Women’s basketball at Utah Valley State had a rich history of success during its junior college years. From 1984-2003 the Wolverines had only one losing season and won 20 games or more 17 times. During Utah Valley’s successful time in the junior college ranks they had 10 NJCAA All-Americans, 10 NJCAA Academic All-Americans and 10 Kodak All-Americans. They also advanced to the NJCAA tournament twice. The only two-time All-American was Stephanie Trane in 1986 and 1987. The Wolverines also had 47 players earn All-Conference honors in a 20-year span. Trane rewrote the Wolverine record books in many categories. She set schools for most rebounds in one game (23 against North Idaho in 1987) and best rebounding average over a career (10.3). She also set school records in scoring by averaging 20.6 points over her two year career. She scored 44 points against Colorado Northwestern in 1988.

- UTAH VA LL EY BAS K ET BAL L
In 1978-79 Dexter Irvin took over the new women’s baskeball program at Utah Valley State. And it its early existence, the team stuggled mightily. It took nearly three seasons for the team to pick up its first win, a 53-33 victory over Colorado Northwestern during the 1980-81. During the first five seasons of basketball at Utah Valley, the team won only two games in 57 chances.

During the Region Tournament, Tricia Ferrin averaged 24 points per game on her way to being named MVP. In the championship game, the Wolverines took on Yavapai College, cruising past them 59-42 to secure that first NJCAA berth.

At the National Tournament, the Wolverines ran over Vicennes University 85-60 in the opening round and followed that up with an impressive 84-65 victory over John A. Logan College. The two wins advanced Utah Valley the “Final Four” where their luck ran out against Independence, falling 66-60. Ferrin’s individual accolades continued following the tournament. After being named to the All-Tournament Team, she earned 1st Team All-American honors, the first Wolverine to earn that distinction. In the 2000-01 season, the Wolverines finished 27-10, won the Region 18 tournament and made their way back to Nationals, this time placing seventh at tournament.
As the junior college experience was coming to a close, Nixon continued her success at the junior college level. Twice named the Scenic West Conference Coach of the Year, Nixon lead Utah Valley to at least 20 wins in seven out of eight seasons.
Then, in 1983, Tom Perkins was hired to guide the young program. Immediately, Perkins brought Utah Valley basketball to prominence. After going 6-8 in his first year at the helm, Perkins never again suffered a losing season during his 12 year tenure. In fact, during Perkins tenure, the Wolverines won 20 games or more 10 out of 12 seasons. Perkins earned conference Coach of the Year honors three times and in 1993-94, he lead the Wolverines to a 29-0 regular season. But it wasn’t until Perkins turned the reigns over to current coach Cathy Nixon, that the school would make noise at the National level. In 1995-96, one year post-Perkins, Nixon lead the Wolverines to a 29-6 record, a Region 18 Championship and to the team’s first ever appearance in the NJCAA Tournament.

Utah Valley The Utah Valley combined the quaintness of small town life and the conveniences of a metropolitan area to create an enticing community. From the majestic Wasatch Mountains in the east to glistening Utah Lake in the west, there are countless activities from which to choose. For the outdoor enthusiasts, there are a number of scenic trails, including the Squaw Peak Trail, Alpine Scenic Backway and Stewart Falls Trail, for hiking, biking and horseback riding. Deer Creek Reservor, snuggled in the heart of Provo Canyon, is a favorite spot for many water lovers.

Utah is known for its natural beauty. Several National Parks, including Zion National Park and Arches National Park in Moab, are popular spots for tourists. Lake Powell, in southeast Utah and into Arizona, is a boaters paradise. During the cold winter months you can take to the slopes to ski or snowboard on some of the world’s greatest powder. Home of the 2002 Olympics, Utah has some of the world’s most celebrated and renowned ski resorts.

head coach Todd Fairbourne led the Wolverines to the NJCAA title.
Brent Brown Ballpark made its debut on March 24, 2005 when the Wolverines knocked off in-state foe Southern Utah 5-3. The 2,500 seat stadium also has room for 2,500 more fans on the grass berm down the third base line and in left field. It boasts both home and visitor clubhouses and batting cages, a Gold’s Gym inside the stadium and a state of the art scoreboard that make it one of the top college baseball facilities in the nation. Clyde Field is the home for Utah Valley women’s soccer. An added walkway and new bleachers were installed in 2005 to accommodate fans. During the summer of 2007, the Utah Valley athletic department began upgrading its facility. The field now has increased seating, a level playing field with new sod and an improved drainage system.
In the fall of 2007, the newly remodeled 24,000 square foot Wolverine Service Center opened giving UVU athletics a new facility including a 6,000 square foot academic center and computer lab with a lounge, kitchen and offices for compliance, academic advising and financial aid.

It’s Official!!! The Utah Valley University athletics department was notified on Tuesday, July 7 by NCAA Membership Services of its unanimous approval to lift the school’s provisional status and accept it as an official member of NCAA Division I. The move completes the University’s unprecedented move straight from NJCAA to NCAA athletics. Full membership now permits all of UVU’s athletic teams and individual athletes to be eligible for NCAA postseason events. “The lightning speed by which UVU moved from junior college to become an official member of NCAA Division I is a magnificent tribute to the entire university,” said Utah Valley University President Matthew Holland. “We are especially proud of the administrators, coaches and student-athletes who have worked so hard and with such excellence to make this happen.” “This is another great day for Utah Valley University and Wolverine Athletics. This has literally been a nine-year process with the final seven being mandated by the NCAA,” said UVU Director of Athletics Mike Jacobsen. “I could not be happier for our coaches and student-athletes. They have been the heroes throughout this provisional period. We look forward to what the future will bring.” UVU’s seven-year provisional period began with an exploratory year in 2002-03, its final season in junior college athletics. In 2003-04, teams began competing with partial Div. I schedules and a year later all of UVU’s teams were competing with full Div. I slates. In November of 2007, an NCAA Peer Review team made up of other NCAA Div. I member administrators, made an on-campus visit to assess the progress of the school’s transition. The group’s response was overwhelmingly positive. On May 29, 2008, UVU received notification from the NCAA Division I Committee on Athletics Certification that the school successfully completed its first NCAA certification peer review. That notification coincided with the school’s official switch to university status on July 1, 2008.

In July of 2008, Utah Valley University Director of Athletics Mike Jacobsen announced the school’s new affiliation with the Great West Conference. Expanding from a football-only conference, the Great West consists of seven all-sport schools in UVU. The conference held championships in cross country, indoor and outdoor track and men’s and women’s golf in 2008-09 and the full slate of conference schedules and championships begins this fall. The schools joining UV as members of the all-sports league are Chicago State, Houston Baptist, NJIT, North Dakota, South Dakota and Texas-Pan American. During the inaugural championship season, Utah Valley took home three Great West titles including the women’s cross country (pictured below) and both the men’s and women’s outdoor track & field championships.

Professional Success
In just its first six years as an NCAA Division I program, Utah Valley University Athletics has had tremendous success in seeing its athletes move on to play or compete at the highest levels in the world. Former Wolverines Ronnie Price (men’s basketball), Kam Mickolio (baseball) and Noelle Pikus-Pace (track & field) are three of those former Utah Valley student athletes that competed at the D-I level that have found athletics success at a professional and international level. In August of 2008, Mickolio made his Major League debut for the Baltimore Orioles, becoming the first Utah Valley baseball player to play Major League Baseball.
Community Involvement On March 29th, 2008, Utah Valley Athletics teamed up with the Utah Valley University Student Association for the 1st Annual Green Fever 5k Fun Run and Walk on the campus of UVU. The event, held to raise money for local charities, was a huge success and this past spring, the second annual Green Fever 5k held with $6,000 going to the Orem Rotary charities. Over 400 participants either ran or walk the course while over 200 volunteers, headed by the Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), help make the event a success.

Pikus-Pace became the first American woman to win a gold medal at the world championship level when she placed first at the 2007 FIBT World Championships in St. Moritz, Switzerland. NBA point guard Ronnie Price is entering his fifth year playing in professional basketball’s highest league. After spending his first two season with the Sacramento Kings, Price came to his adopted home to play for the Utah Jazz. After the past two seasons in Utah, Price entered the summer as a free agent before opting to re-sign with the Jazz for 2009. On June 17, former Wolverine Mitch Jones made his debut after nine years in the minors. Jones played at Utah Valley from 1997-98 prior to the school’s transition from junior college to NCAA D-I. Jones was an NJCAA All-American during his time in Orem and then moved on to Arizona State, where he was also an All-American and where he broke the Sun Devils’ single-season run record of 27, a record that still stands.
