1st Day of Practice a Success

The 2008 Utes took the field for the first time today with two training sessions at Ute Field. The morning session featured some nasty 1 vs. 1 competition as well as a full field scrimmage. The yellow team won the 40 minute game, 2-0, with Lauren Hair and Katy Reineke scoring the goals.

The afternoon session was another competition-based practice. The teams played a two-zone game complete with goal keepers. The teams each won 3 sets of this and the competition was decided by a crossing and finishing game. That went into sudden death OT.

Here senior Katy Reineke and junior Danielle Sample recap a productive (and tiring) first day...










The team has checked in to the University Guest House for the week. A beautiful little inn located on campus near the dorms and only a couple of hundred yards from Ute Field, the Guest House has everything the Utes need to stay comfortably during the preseason...













Here Ute freshmen Mallory Mitamura and Roxy Tebbs return to the Guest House this evening after dinner with new boots in tow.











The rooms in the Guest House are great for comfort and getting rest before and after training (as well as mid-day naps!)
