Leading scorer Alissa Pili has No. 8 Utah off to a 14-0 start and the program’s highest AP ranking in school history. The 6-foot-2 forward who transferred in from Southern California this season has seamlessly meshed with the Utes. She brings a physical presence down low that she owes to playing football and wrestling in her hometown of Anchorage, Alaska. Pili is averaging 19.7 points along with a team-best 6.1 rebounds and was recently named to the midseason top 25 watch List for the John R. Wooden Award. It’s an award that recognizes the outstanding player in college basketball.
