Ashley Mason made both of her saves in the second half, posting her fifth complete-game shutout and the Utes' sixth of the season.
Utah let a two-goal lead evaporate within 12 seconds only to bounce back for a wild 3-2 win over New Mexico on Saturday night. Amanda Feigt scored a pair of goals for the Utes. Adele Letro opened the scoring in the 37th minute. Feigt scored her first goal of the night in the 50th minute, pouncing on the rebound of her own shot in front of the net for the score. After the Lobos score two quick goals in the 63rd minute, Feigt scored the game winner in the 78th minute. After a Utah free kick had been cleared outside the penalty area, Feigt volleyed home the game winner from 20 yards out. The Lobos had a 5-4 advantage in corner kicks but were outshot 9-7. Mason made three saves for the Utes.
Head Coach Rich Manning

The Utes went 16-2-2, won the MWC regular-season (6-0-0) and tournament titles, and went to the NCAA Tournament. In 2002, Manning led Utah to a 13-4-3 mark, including a 4-1-1 record in Mountain West play, and the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Before joining the Utah program, Manning was an assistant and associate head coach at Santa Clara (1998-2001).
Rich's Remarks
On last week's games - "We're very happy to get off to a great start in conference. We played some excellent soccer against TCU, maybe the best of the season. Ironically, against New Mexico, we weren't as sharp in our attack, yet scored three goals against a very tough defense. We have been playing well and are capable of even better soccer. If our attacking play continues to improve, we'll be a very dangerous team."
On this week's games - "Wyoming is a team that has improved tremendously in the last three years. They're a good team and I'm sure it will be a very competitive match. Mercy Adetoye is a handful up front and we will be hard pressed to keep her out of the net."
"Air Force has had some good results this year. They have a good goal scorer in Brittney Perkowski and are never easy to score on. I hope we have a big crowd on Saturday for Kim Lloyd's last home game."
