The Utah women’s basketball team defeated Arizona 80-56 on Sunday in Tucson to complete its second road sweep of the Pac-12 season.

Megan Huff led the Utes (14-5, 5-3 Pac-12) with 17 points and nine rebounds, Tori Williams scored 15 points while going 5 for 10 from the floor, and Daneesha Provo added 12 points and seven rebounds.

Utah shot 52 percent from the floor (26-50) and 44 percent from 3-point range, holding Arizona to just 33 percent shooting overall, also outrebounding the Wildcats 40-20.

“We got a win on the road, which is great and we shot the ball 52 percent,” Utah coach Lynne Roberts said. “I thought Daneesha had a tough game at ASU, didn’t do much in the first half and then had a huge third quarter, which really opened it up for us. Tori and Huff really opened up the first half too. We were balanced.”

Utah won 58-56 at Arizona State on Friday night, and also swept a trip to Washington earlier this month.

Marlee Kyles led Arizona (5-14, 1-7) with 15 points off the bench.
