Utah Takes Down Wyoming on the Road

"Probably the most exciting thing to come out of today's game - seeing the team show a lot of character and break through."

- Coach Rich Manning

The Utes worked back from a 1-0 deficit to overcome a tough Wyoming team 2-1 earlier today. This was an important win for the team as far as points in the conference standings and for their confidence and momentum as well. Lauren Hair tied the game with a great goal and Kelly Isleib hit the game winner with less than 12 minutes remaining. Coach Rich Manning commented, "We scored two fantastic goals in this game...Lauren showed a lot of composure in front of the goal and Kelly hit a bomb." Utah goalkeeper Hanna Turpen also stood out producing 5 saves this evening.

The Utes now have 10 points and have guaranteed a spot for themselves in the Mountain West Conference Tournament in 2 weeks. Stay tuned for a conference update after this weekend as we head into the final weekend of regular conference play next week!

Halloween will be an exciting one for Utah Soccer this year...October 31 will consist of a Costume Parade (anyone who comes dressed up will receive free candy and all kids in costume can be in the parade!), Alumni Game, The Utes' Final Home Game, and Senior Day! Watch for more information about this exciting weekend and plan on coming to join the festivities!
