Back from Spring Break


Well, we've been gone for a week...spring break time for the Utes. Lots of things to catch up on...

**Jen Christoffers had another procedure on her knee over the break and we are excited to get her back on track. Jen has been out fighting this battle since July. Here is a photo of Jen in action and we look forward to having her back on the field soon.

**Practice resumed today after a week off...lots of rust and huffing and puffing. Four days to get ready for some spring action down in Las Vegas on Saturday.

**Spring Season is here. Over the next four weeks, we will have several competitions and events. Here is what's on tap for Ute Soccer:
