EDINBURG, Texas — Le'Tre Darthard had 19 points in Utah Valley's 75-61 victory over UT Rio Grande Valley on Saturday night.
Darthard shot 6 for 9 (4 for 7 from 3-point range) and 3 of 3 from the free-throw line for the Wolverines (13-4), and Aziz Bandaogo added a career-high 18 points and 16 rebounds and six blocks.
Justin Harmon recorded 14 points and shot 5 of 10 from the field and 4 for 4 from the line.
Utah Valley improves to 13-4 overall and extends its win streak to 10 games — the fifth-longest win streak in the nation. The Wolverines also improve to a perfect 4-0 in WAC play with a 10-game win streak that marks the second-longest in UVU's full-status Division I history.
"We had so many individual performances tonight," said Utah Valley head coach Mark Madsen. "We had two guys flirting with a triple double. It was a pure team effort if you look at what we did defensively. We held their leading scorer to 3-of-22 shooting. I was really pleased with what we did defensively."
The Vaqueros (8-8) were led in scoring by Sherman Brashear, who finished with 13 points and six rebounds. Justin Johnson added 10 points, six rebounds and six assists for UT Rio Grande Valley. Dima Zdor finished with nine points.
