OREM, Utah - Utah Valley head coach Dan Nielson announced the addition of forward Elizabeth Gentry to the 2026-27 roster. Gentry joins the Wolverines after spending her first two seasons at Creighton.
 
"Elizabeth is a perfect fit for us on and off the court," Nielson said. "Her ability to run the floor and score inside and out on offense will make an immediate impact this season. Defensively, she can guard multiple positions, making her a valuable defender. We are ecstatic that she chose to join our UVU family."
 
Gentry played in 49 career games for the Bluejays, including 19 as a true freshman, when Creighton advanced to the NCAA Tournament following a 26-7 season. As a sophomore, the Littleton, Colorado, native appeared in 30 games with 13 starts, averaging 4.7 points and 2.4 rebounds in 15 minutes per game.
 
She set a career high this season with 17 points in a December game at Omaha, hitting three 3-pointers and shooting 7-for-10 from the field. She also grabbed a season-high nine rebounds against Nebraska. Gentry started half of Creighton's Big East games, including an 11-point performance against No. 1 UConn.
 
In high school, Gentry earned three varsity letters in basketball and averaged 21.2 points per game as a senior at Arapahoe High School. Her season was highlighted by a 37-point, 18-rebound performance in a win over Columbine. She earned first-team all-state and MVP honors for the Warriors. She also played at Columbine, where she was a two-time All-CHSAA selection and received two Female Student-Athlete of the Year awards.
 
Gentry comes from an athletic family. Her father, Todd, played college basketball at BYU and Utah State. Her brother, JT, played football at BYU, and her brother, Andrew, currently plays football in Provo after a stint at Michigan.
