Seattle U. Comes to Town as a New Division 1 Team

The Utes will take a short break from Mountain West Conference play this Friday when we host the Seattle University at 7:00 P.M. at Ute Field. The Mountain West decided this year to have three single game weekends (where we had just one in the past)...so in order to get a good number of games, we have to play some non-conference games on those weekends.

The Redhawks are in their first year of a transition to Division 1 athletics. They have been Division 2 power house in women's soccer and are beginning the process as a university of moving all of their sports up.

So how has it gone so far? Well, they are 8-3-3 with wins over schools such as Fresno State, Boise State, Idaho, San Francisco and Cal State Bakersfield. So we expect a tough match and one that will help keep us sharp for Conference play and the MWC tournament in two weeks.
