The Utes will be looking to rebound after a tough loss at home last Saturday against Mount St. Mary's. Despite the loss, Utah head coach Brian Holman is in good spirits looking ahead.
"We'll work on building in some additional game scenarios this week, continue to build on the things that we're doing well and fix a few things," Utah head coach Brian Holman said. "After watching the Mount St. Mary's film twice, there were so many good things. If we had won that game, everyone's mindset would be very different. People would be talking about how good we were. Just because we were one goal short should not diminish anything that we did in that game. A lot of the things that we've been focusing on cleaning up, we did. I think it's our job to make sure the guys understand how well we did play. Did we mess up some things? Yes. At the end of the day, they were one goal better and a couple of plays better. I'm excited because a lot of the things we have been working on were put forth on Saturday. The areas where we struggled, we've struggled all year in, and it just wasn't our best defensive day – we also had two defensive starters that didn't practice most of last week, but they are a very good offense. My spirits are high as heck and I'm hoping our team responds to watching the same way our staff did, and I think they will. I'm excited. The mistakes that we made are correctable. It's all part of the process."
Holman feels the team is still on track to win April.
"I just checked our grade report today, and it's phenomenal," Holman said. "Effort, attitude, preparedness, willingness, doing everything we can do to win. Winning in life isn't always a direct reflection of the score. It's always our goal to win. But I also want people and our team to realize that we've made some great strides. Sometimes in life and in sports, it doesn't always show up right away. But we sure competed hard and we played a very good lacrosse team last week. [Mount St. Mary's] is probably going to be in the playoffs. Sometimes a broad prospective is required."
Sophomore Josh Stout is tied for ninth in the NCAA with 34 goals and is averaging 2.83 goals per game. Sophomore goalkeeper Liam Donnelly is third in the NCAA in saves (155) and ranks 12th in saves per game (12.92).
Hartford is 2-9 on the season with their wins coming against Stony Brook and UMass Lowell. The Hawks play Dartmouth on Tuesday before hosting the Utes on Saturday.
"They are a little bigger than Mount St. Mary's, but not quite as athletic," Holman said of Hartford. "Similar offense and defense. They have some Canadians who are tough. We are not going to be able to overwhelm them but are going to have to execute the details. That's what has me excited for our team."
