LAS VEGAS—Trey Woodbury scored a season-high 29 points and became the ninth player in Utah Valley history to reach the 1,000-point mark to lead Utah Valley in an 89-88 setback to in-state foe Southern Utah in the semifinals of the WAC Tournament at Orleans Arena in Las Vegas. 
 
Le'Tre Darthard had hit a pair of free throws to give UVU a three-point 88-85 lead with 10 seconds to play.

Justin Harmon's layup at the buzzer just rolled off the rim that would have given UVU the win.
