Weekly Update

The weekend proved to be a tough one, full of a lot of lessons...but the season is still young and the team is continuing to improve, develop, and grow as a group. Coaches and players alike were satisfied with many aspects of play over the weekend and everyone took away a list of improvements, both individual and team, as well.

Today and tomorrow the Utes will hit the field in important preparation for a Thursday night match vs. Utah State at Rio Tinto Stadium. The game is going to be very exciting! Neutral location, awesome field, two motivated teams, and an in-state rivalry! More details on the game to follow tomorrow and thursday!

The Utes' second match of the week is a great one as well...the team will host Pepperdine at Ute Field Sunday afternoon and to add to the excitement of a great game, it is also "Pink on the Pitch Day"....it is the first of the ongoing games at the University of Utah this year to promote cancer awareness. Fans dressed in pink will get into the game for free as well as receive a pink ribbon pop-up hat!
