SALT LAKE CITY -- THIS WEEK: Utah hosts the University of Nevada and the University of San Diego Fri., Sept. 15 and Sun., Sept. 17 at 5 p.m. and 1 p.m. respectively.
PREVIEW: Nevada is currently 1-3 after picking up its first win against Southern Nevada Community College Sept. 8, 3-0.
San Diego is ranked No. 10 in the Soccer Buzz west region. The Toreros are off to its best start in school history at 6-0. Scheduling may help the Utes, as USD plays at BYU Friday, which may allow Utah to be fresher in Sunday's game.
LAST WEEK IN REVIEW: The University of Utah women's soccer team improved to 2-3-1 with a 4-1 win at Arizona.
Sophomore Katie Tate started the assault in the sixth minute when she collected a shot by sophomore Maren Harper, that ricocheted off a Wildcat defender, and stuck it in the net. Freshman Amber Brower recorded her first career goal in the 19th minute, and her second in the 87th minute. Utah scored on a penalty kick in the 24th minute when freshman Missy Dennis booted it through for a 3-0 advantage. Sophomore Courtney Hills posted a shutout in the first half of play, before freshman Lynnsey Asay relieved her in the second half and relinquished only one goal. The two goalkeepers combined for two saves on only three shots-on-goal.
The University of Utah women's soccer team (1-3-1) lost a 2-1 battle to No. 20 Arizona State (4-0).
Early in the 2000 season Utah has suffered some growing pains with no seniors, but Friday's performance against the nationally ranked Sun Devils was encouraging. After playing to a 0-0 halftime deadlock Utah took a 1-0 lead when junior Amy Kofoed hit pay dirt in the 51st minute on a ball fed from freshman Amber Brower. The goal was Kofoed's fourth of the season. Arizona State needed a solid performance by their All-American and two-time Pac-10 Offensive Player of the Year Stacey Tullock to overcome the deficit. Tullock scored to tie the game at 1-1 in the 57th minute, then played a good ball to Karine Inoue who scored the game-winning goal in the 75th minute. Courtney Hills had six saves in the net for Utah, while the team helped out with two saves.
COMING UP: Utah goes back to the Southeastern Conference to play South Carolina and Georgia Sept. 22 and 24.
