Fairbanks, big second half makes UV 4-0

With sophomore Julie McMurray, who is leading the team in scoring so far this season, struggling to get things going in the first half Robyn Fairbanks showed she can still dominate a game.
In the women's 103-83 win over UC Irvine Fairbanks wouldn't be stopped. She scored 26 first-half points and 36 total to go with 15 rebounds. She single handedly kept the Wolverines in the game in the first half.
But Utah Valley's two-point halftime lead turned into a blowout. McMurray got going a bit with seven early second-half points and Sandy Marvin helped out with 22 points and 10 assists.
The Anteaters wanted to push the ball but in the second half Utah Valley showed its depth by running a bit and UC Irvine wasn't able to keep up with the tempo.
In the first half Irvine turned Wolverine turnovers into points put couldn't do the same in the second half.
Marvin also had five steals and so did Asumi Nakayama.
Wolverines face a tough test Wednesday before Thanksgiving against Seton Hall. Good thing Utah Valley has the game at home where they play much better.
Starting good is one thing, they did it last year, keeping it going will be another thing.
Utah Valley has beat all four opponents this season by at least 20 points.
