THIS WEEK: The University of Utah women's soccer team comes home after opening the season on a two-game stint at Big Sky schools. Utah will host Washington State Sat., Sept. 2 at 1 p.m. at Ute Field. The Utes will travel a little north on I-15 to play its third Big Sky team in four games against Weber State Mon., Sept. 4 at 1 p.m.
PREVIEW: Washington State has yet to play in 2000.
LAST WEEK IN REVIEW: POCATELLO, IDAHO-Utah's women's soccer team (0-0-1) entered a hostile environment for its season opener at Idaho State (0-0-1), where the Bengals have lost only three times at Davis Field. But the Utes didn't expect a battle that would render a 3-3 double-overtime tie, and a combined two yellow cards, a red card and multiple hard fouls.
The defending Mountain West Conference champion Utes fell behind seven minutes into the contest, 1-0. Utah struck back two minutes later, when sophomore Katie Tate blistered a penalty kick into the goal. Sophomore Megan Maxwell put Utah up in the 29th minute, when she scored a goal assisted by Tate. The 2-1 lead was short lived, as ISU answered to knot the game at 2-2 at halftime. The Utes got help from its counterpart in the second half, as an ISU player deflected the ball into her own net. With eight minutes remaining in regulation, the Bengals scored on a penalty kick to force the first extra period.
Idaho State threatened with three corner kicks in the first OT, but Utah goalie Courtney Hills warded off the attempts. Utah came out firing in the second OT, but Bengal reserve goalie Holly Emery denied the late barrage.
MISSOULA, MONT.-The University of Utah women's soccer team played its second overtime game in as many outings, dropping a 2-1 game against Montana at UM South Campus Stadium, to start 0-1-1 in 2000.
TAKE NOTE: Sophomore Katie Tate has scored five points (two goals and an assist) in the first two games. She has been accountable for three of the seasons first four goals.
COACH'S CORNER: "Washington State opens with us. They will be a better team than last year. This week we're making corrections on executing. I'm glad we're being tested early so we can make the changes necessary."
COMING UP: Utah makes the trek to Arizona to face Arizona State and Arizona Fri., Sept. 8 at 7 p.m. and Sun., Sept. 10 at noon, respectively.
