Scrimmage, Part Two

Saturday brought another scrimmage day. The Utes played a 10 vs. 10 format...with 30 minute halves...and at the end of the scrimmage, there was a 20 minute session on set pieces.

The team will take a much needed day off on Sunday (except for some getting treatment). Many of the players will use the day to move into the dorms. Freshman Katie Martinez, from the Denver, Colorado area...had her parents and sisters drive into town to help with the move tomorrow. And, freshman goal keeper, Hannah Turpen, was visited by her folks and two brothers, who drove up from Orange County, California.

The team will resume preparations for next Friday's season opener (at Wake Forest) on Monday morning. The time off should allow several players with strains, pulls, dings and general soreness to regenerate for the start of the season.
