Disappointing Result in Home Opener

We fell in our home opener to Arizona last night, 4-0. Thanks to all the wonderful supporters that came out to cheer for the Utes...we had a great crowd and the Utah Drum Line was fantastic at halftime.

It's always disappointing to fall short, especially at home. But it was probably our best performance of the new season in many ways. We held the ball better in attack and put good pressure on the Arizona team all over the field. After giving up an early goal, we chased the game.
With about ten minutes left and the score still at 1-0, we took out a defender and put in an extra forward to try to equalize. It back fired a bit as we gave up 3 goals in the last 10 minutes, but it was worth the risk and we'll have to keep working on our approach at the end of the game when we need to score.

No rest for the weary as we take on the Georgia Bulldogs tomorrow (Sunday) at 1:00 P.M. at Ute Field. Here's to bouncing back and a better result!
