YPSILANTI, Mich. (AP) - Senior forward Kim Smith scored a season-high 29 points and forward Jessica Perry added 13, leading No. 22 Utah to a 72-67 victory over Eastern Michigan on Wednesday night.
The Utes (8-2) charged to a double-digit lead midway through the second half and then withstood a late rally by Eastern Michigan.
After nine first-half lead changes, the Utes took the lead when Julie Larsen hit a 3-pointer and added two free throws that gave Utah a 30-27 lead.
The Utes extended their lead to seven points before Eastern Michigan (4-5) closed within two points, 34-32, by halftime.
Ryan Coleman, who finished with 13 points, keyed a second-half run that gave the Eagles a 39-37 lead. But Utah rallied.
Smith hit a 3-pointer with 12:21 to push Utah's lead to 48-44. The Utes then scored eight straight points and led by 10 points after Shona Thorburn's layup off of a lob pass.
Senior forward Nikki Knapp scored 21 points for Eastern Michigan, which closed within two points in the final minute but was unable to complete the comeback.
