Utah’s seniors want to end their Huntsman Center careers Sunday, because that would mean they’ve climbed above the WNIT.

Erika Bean has watched three sets of her Utah women's basketball teammates go through Senior Night ceremonies at the Huntsman Center, only to return for more home games.

The current Ute seniors can only hope Sunday’s game vs. Washington State is their last appearance in the Huntsman Center. Any other home games would mean Utah is relegated to the WNIT for a fourth straight season in coach Lynne Roberts’ tenure, after the Utes were well-positioned for much more as of earlier this month.

Utah will host Washington on Friday night and WSU on Sunday afternoon, in the scheduled farewell for four seniors: Bean, the only four-year, active player in the group; Megan Huff and Daneesha Provo, who redshirted after transferring from other schools; and Sarah Porter, who joined the team this season as a graduate transfer.
