Heartbreaking Loss in 2OT Cuts the Season Short

After maintaining a 1-0 lead from a great scrappy goal from Erin Dalley, SDSU tied the game with less than ten minutes to play. The overtime periods were hard fought, and fatigue began to set in. SDSU ended up scoring with just 2 minutes left in the second overtime. For more notes on the game, visit our official website.

It is a very strange and sad feeling to have the season end so quickly. The team this year experienced many ups and downs and continued growing and progressing up until the very last game. Most of the girls will be thinking hard about what to do in order to improve themselves and the team next spring and next fall; the seniors will now be looking back on their years of college soccer. The seniors leaving the team will be greatly missed; and they are all moving forward to great things:


Jen Christoffers came from Arizona and has a solid member of the team for 5 years.Her quiet leadership and strong competitiveness have helped the team excel in practice and in games. Jen will be graduating this December with a degree in Family Studies.





Emalee Rogers has been a strong leader on the team for 5 years as well. Her leadership and confidence in the goal will be greatly missed. She will be graduating in the spring with a degree in Exercise and Sport Science and is planning to attend medical schoool; she is currently awaiting replies from her applications.






Kelly Isleib will graduate with a degree in Communications and is looking to join the Women's Professional League. Isleib has been a standout player on the team, in the conference, and in the nation for the past four years. Her one of a kind ball skills have put on a great show for players, fans, and coaches for 4 years here at Utah.






Thank you to everyone who supported the team this season! The team could not do it without the support of our friends, family, our great athletic department, donors, and fans. We look forward to seeing everyone in the near future...stay tuned in to the blog, our official website, facebook, and twitter pages throughout the off season to keep up on team news and events.
