The Utes kicked off a big "family" weekend with the annual team banquet held on Friday night at the Old Mill Golf Club in Salt Lake City. Coaches, team members and families gathered for some good food, team awards and a highlight video. The stars of the evening were the six graduating seniors who were honored for being such great servants to the program. Seen in the photo at left are: Katie Brower, Danielle Sample, Amy Edman, Katy Reineke, Amanda Sanchez and Addie Hair. Each was presented with a photo framed and signed by the team as well as a Utah Soccer scarf. Amanda came all the way from Alabama for the weekend. She graduated in December and has moved to the South with her fiance, Drew, who is stationed in the military there.
