The Utes love it when we have supporters, especially when they are old friend and family members of the players. And we had some great support. Starting it all is the Dalley family...Erin Dalley is a sophomore forward. Erin is from Viewmont High School and Centerville, Utah. However she spent much of her childhood in Vancouver, Washington...just over the border from Portland. The youngest (of many) children, Erin has older siblings that have stayed in the northwest....and they came out in full force to cheer on the Utes last weekend. Erin's folks, Bob and Sharon, were there also. We loved the red shirts and posters. Erin had to miss the trip last fall to Oregon and Oregon State due to a knee injury that kept her out all season. So it was great to have her out on the field this spring. She rewarded the fans with a two-goal outburst on Sunday against Seattle U.We also had the Isleib family out to support the Utes. Parent Bob and Kim as well as brother Dave and sister Justin came out to watch Kelly with the national team as well as play with us on Sunday.
And we had two of our esteemed alums there as well. Maren Harper, was captain of the 2002 team that was the first to make the NCAA playoffs. She is now coaching with FC Portland. Maren came out to the games in between coaching assignments. Also, Bobbie (Benegas) Hackenbruck came out on Saturday with her new son, Boden. Bobbie was captain of the 2003 Mountain West Conference champions. She lives in Bend, Oregon with former Ute football great, Tommy Hackenbruck. Rumor has it that they may be moving back to Salt Lake soon.
Great to see everyone!
