Women's Basketball set for trek through Utah

OMAHA, Neb. – Omaha Women's Basketball is heading out on a four day, three-game road trip through the state of Utah.

The Mavericks (1-1) are fresh off head coach Jamie Carey's first win at the helm of the program with an 88-47 win over Saint Mary (Neb.) in Sapp Fieldhouse on Nov. 6. Freshman Avril Smith (Omaha, Neb.) broke an Omaha single-game record with 21 rebounds for the Mavericks in just her second collegiate outing.
 
Omaha starts its trip with a game at Utah Tech (1-0) on Wednesday, Nov. 12 at 8 p.m. CT. The Mavericks have never played the Trailblazers.
 
From there, Omaha heads north to Provo to face BYU (2-0) in their second matchup against a Big 12 opponent this season (K-State). Once again, Omaha will get to play an opponent it has no history with.
 
The Mavericks do have a history with Utah State. After taking Friday off, the Mavs will take on the Aggies on Saturday, Nov. 15 at noon CT. Last season, Omaha defeated Utah State 79-77 in Omaha, Neb. Assistant coach Claire Gritt will get to return to her old stomping grounds for the game. Gritt worked as a coach at Utah State for three years before heading to Army and then Omaha.
 
The Utah Tech and BYU games air on ESPN+. Saturday's game will stream live on the Mountain West Network. Brent Weber will be on the call on the Varsity Network or KOZT 1180 AM in Omaha, Neb.
