Utes Take Down Princeton, Exciting Night At Ute Field!

The Utah Soccer shut out Princeton 2-0 this evening in an aggressively fought match at Ute Field. The Utes are pumped about the win and proud of their 5-2 overall record. Redshirt Sophomore Erin Dalley and Freshman Natalie Young gave the Utes their goals this evening (see videos below for post-game interviews with the scorers!) The team hits the road tomorrow to head to play Colorado on Friday. Check out our official website for more details on tonight's game as well as the upcoming weekend!



In addition to an awesome soccer game, Ute Field was alive with energy tonight as it was the "Crimson Game" for the athletics department, meaning several other sports teams came to cheer on the soccer team. The athletes tested out their soccer skills with relay races at half time. Also a highlight was the University of Utah Drumline performance at half time...this nationally recognized musical group played at President Obama's inauguration...talented bunch! Check out the videos below of halftime excitement.




Finally, tonight was a special night for Coach Rich Manning and the Utah Soccer Program as Rich achieved his 100th victory as a Ute. This is a huge accomplishment for Rich and it says a lot about how much he has done for this program in such a relatively short period of time. University of Utah Athletic Director Dr. Chris Hill presented Rich with a great award of recognition after the match...
