UTES BEAT SANTA CLARA







Our Utah Utes fought past SCU and came away with a 1-0 victory. Santa Clara came into the game with a national ranking of 19...but our team paid the jerseys and the ranking no attention. Kelly Isleib came up huge with her third goal in just three games...she hit a bending free kick around the wall and past the goal keeper. The goal came from 20 yards out about 20 minutes into the first half. From then on, the Utes battled their way to the victory showing great defensive composure and offensive skill as they solidified the win.

Thank you to all of our fans (over 1300!) who came out to support us. We had perhaps our biggest 'tunnel' ever after the game and many people were able to receive autographs! (Kelly even signed a basketball!)

Don't forget to meet back at Ute Field Sunday afternoon as the Utes look to become 4-0 on the season vs. Cal Poly.
