Alissa Pili Headlines Utah Utes That Received All-Pac-12 Honors
On Tuesday, the Pac-12 Conference announced its Women’s Basketball All-Conference honors and awards.
To no surprise for any Utah fan, Alissa Pili was named to the All-Pac-12 team for what was the third time in her career. The senior forward has been a prolific scorer this season for Utah, averaging 21 points per game which ranks second in the conference, while also hitting a new career-high in points with 37 in the loss to South Carolina earlier in the year. A mark she hit again when facing her old program (USC).
On top of putting up big points, she has done so effectively. She leads the Utes in as she has shot 55% from the field, 40% from the three, and 81.9% from the free throw line.
She wasn't the only Ute that was honored either, as Inês Vieira, Kennady McQueen, and Jenna Johnson all earned All-Pac-12 Honorable Mentions.
No. 22 Utah will take on Arizona State in the opening round of the Pac-12 Tournament on Wednesday evening.
