"Besides the first game, we put ourselves in a position to win this match," said head coach Susan Steadman. "We had leads and chances throughout and we brokedown. I don't want to blame youth or make any excuses, but it is certainly a frustrating element and component of our team right now. This is a very tough loss to swallow, because this is a match we should of had. I don't think we played poorly, we made mistakes at wrong times, but looking at the stats there are some good numbers."

of Utah, on Friday night, at 7:00 p.m., and Brigham Young, on Saturday
