The University of Utah women's soccer team begins a four-game homestand this week.
The Utes are 1-2-1 after falling to Colorado 4-2 and playing to a 3-3 tie against Washington State last week.
Utah will host Idaho State in the home opener Friday night, with kickoff set for 7:30 p.m. at Ute Field. The Utes will then welcome Oregon to Salt Lake City at 1 p.m. Sunday.
Utah faced Idaho State twice last season, defeating the Bengals 3-1 in Pocatello during the regular season and taking a 3-2, double-overtime win in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The Utes last meeting with Oregon was a 2-0 Utah victory back in 2004.
Opening Kick
After four games, Utah is the second-highest scoring team in the Mountain West Conference. However, the Utes are also ranked last in the conference in goals allowed through the first four contests.
Utah is averaging 1.75 goals per game, second only to New Mexico's average of 2.0. The Utes are allowing an average of 2.25 goals per contest.
Scouting Idaho State
Idaho State (2-1-1) went winless through its first two games of the season, falling to Arizona State and recording a tie against Cal State Fullerton. The Bengals responded to defeat Boise State 5-2 and Idaho 2-0 last week.
Idaho State is led by second-year head coach Allison Gibson, who holds a 12-10-2 overall record as the Bengals' head coach.
Sophomore Jana Boehler has been Idaho State's biggest offensive threat so far this season. She has two goals and two assists in four games. Six other Bengals have found the back of the net once. Senior goalkeeper Maren Eves has a 0.95 goals against average.
Utah has never lost to Idaho State, holding a 5-0-2 advantage in the all-time series. The Utes are 3-0-1 at home against the Bengals.
Scouting Oregon
Oregon (3-1-0) opened the season with three consecutive victories. The Ducks took a 1-0 win at Nevada, topped Boise State 3-0 and routed UC Riverside 5-1. Oregon then dropped a 1-0 decision to Montana in Eugene on Sunday.
The Ducks will play at Utah State Friday, before visiting Ute Field.
Oregon is led by Tara Erickson, who is in her third season on the Ducks' bench. She has a 24-16-3 record at Oregon and is 53-54-13 overall as a head coach. Sophomore Danielle Sweeney is the top offensive threat for Oregon with three goals and an assist. Junior Jessie Chatfield has a 0.50 goals against average.
Utah has never lost to Oregon, holding a 3-0-1 advantage in the all-time series. The Utes are 2-0-0 at home against the Ducks.

Adele's Adept at Scoring

Letro's first goal of the season wound up being the game-winner for the Utes against Arizona. It was the 12th game-winner of Letro's collegiate career.
Letro has scored in more than one-third (19-of 47) of her collegiate games. She has four career multi-goal games. Letro has 23 career goals and needs just two more to move into the all-time top five for career goals at Utah.
Kelly's Gettin' Her Kicks
Utah sophomore Kelly Isleib (Park City, Utah) has developed a reputation as a playmaker. She showed that ability last week, tallying three assists.
Isleib had an assist on both of Utah's goals in a 4-2 loss to Colorado last week. She then assisted on a goal late in the game against Washington State on Sunday, which put the Utes up 3-2.
For her career, Isleib now has seven assists. She is already one away from tying her mark of four last season.
