Utah swept its first weekend of Mountain West Conference games at home, defeating Air Force 4-0 on Thursday and New Mexico 1-0 in overtime on Saturday. Lauren Field, who had missed the last three games following a heart procedure, made a big impact in her return with two goals and an assist against Air Force. With Utah already staked to a 1-0 lead thanks to Amber Brower's goal in the 26th minute, Field played a part in three goals in the final 15 minutes of the half.
Field scored her first goal in the 31st minute, taking a shot from five yards out and placing it in the upper right corner. Field's second goal, set up by a well-placed pass from McKenzie Joyner, came from five yards out 42:11 in. Fourteen seconds later, Field set up Julie Herdic for a five-yard shot.
The Utes outshot the Falcons 15-4 and had an 8-2 advantage in corner kicks. Kaycie Zimmerman made two saves in goal for the Utes, playing the entire 90 minutes.
Brower's goal 2:30 into the first overtime period was the difference against New Mexico. Brower took the ball off of a rebound as the Utes pressured Lobo keeper Kristen Winters.
Zimmerman played the entire 92:30 in goal for the Utes, making one save for her third complete game shutout. The Utes outshot the Lobos 20-2 and had a 6-2 advantage in corner kicks.
Head Coach Rich Manning

During his tenure, the Broncos made the NCAA College Cup three times and captured the 2001 national title.
Quoting Rich Manning
On playing UNLV and San Diego State - "This is an important trip for us. We'll have the opportunity to take two more steps toward our goal of a Mountain West Conference championship. UNLV has a good defense, led by a terrific goalkeeper in Jenna Huff. It will be a good challenge to see if we can score against her. San Diego State is tough to beat, especially at home. Kim Castellanos is a proven goal scorer. We'll have to shut her down to be successful."
