CEDAR CITY, Utah - Julie McMurray matched a career high with 23 points and set a school record with seven steals as Utah Valley moved to 3-0 for the first time in school history with a 75-55 win over Southern Utah on Thursday night in Cedar City.

Sandy Marvin had 21 points including 15 in the first half as UV built a 42-20 halftime lead and coasted to the win, their first at Southern Utah in three tries.

"Her intensity on both ends was a catalyst for us getting some good transition opportunities," said head coach Cathy Nixon of Marvin. "This was an important step for us coming in here and getting a big win on the road."
