The Utes are 1-1 on the season. Utah picked up its first win in school history last weekend against Mercer.
Â
Sophomore Josh Stout, who scored seven goals against Mercer, leads the nation with 10 goals scored. He is tied for third in the NCAA in goals per game (5.00).
Â
"We had a great practice this morning and it's another step in the process," head coach Brian Holman said. "This will be a really good challenge for the team. I think the guys are dialed in. You want to do the same things - focus on doing the best job the Utes can do. I thought we did a really good job Saturday of controlling the things that were within our control - clearing, riding, ground balls, getting organized. The same process takes place. It's a long travel day, so it's going to be intriguing to see how we handle the process of the trip."
Â
Hofstra is 1-0 on the season after upsetting 13th-ranked Lehigh, 4-3, in its first game on Saturday. The team returns its top three scorers from a year ago when it went 6-8.
Â
Holman coached Hofstra head coach Seth Tierney at Johns Hopkins (1988-91). Tierney was an assistant coach for Team USA this summer at the FIL World Championships, coaching Utah assistant Marcus Holman.
