Utes Fall in MWC Tournament Final

It all seems to end so fast!...

We lost a tight, 1-0 battle to BYU in the Mountain West Conference tournament final today here in Las Vegas. We competed with great heart and gave it our best shot. We had beaten TCU on Thursday in the semi-final, 2-1 in overtime in another extremely tight game.

We will fall 2 or 3 wins short of an at-large berth in the NCAA Tournament. However, we finished our season as a much improved team...going 7-2 in our last 9 games and 10-4-2 after a 1-5 start. More importantly, we grew as a team...playing with confidence and believing in ourselves.

We will head back to Salt Lake tonight and catch up on some school work.
Then we will re-group and talk about our plans here after the season. The players will have classes until about Dec. 10 then have a month-long break before starting up again in January.

Thanks to everyone for your support this year. We'll have more "stuff" from this past week as well as some great material from the players. Stay tuned!
