To this point in their collegiate careers, the 1998 senior class has forged a 38-32-1 record, including the 4-0 win. The Utes are 10-7-1 on the season with a 2-4 WAC record.
Last Week - Junior Staci Burt claimed her 12th goal of the season as she scored twice for the Utes. At 11:06, sophomore Lorrie Tipton fed Burt a pass for the goal.

Freshman Amy Kofoed scored the Utes' last goal of the game from a corner kick by Tipton that was assisted by McNeil. Overall, the Utes out shot the Rebels 29-6, including 14 shots-on-goal.
