Senior forward Shauna Gurr-Bingham is currently one assist away from breaking the all-time career assist record. She is currently tied for first-place in school history with former Ute Staci Burt with 21 career-assists.
UTES IN THE POLLS:
As of last week, Utah moved back into the rankings at No. 24 in the SoccerBuzz.com and Soccer America polls. The Utes are also No. 9 in the NSCAA Western regional poll.
NCAA STATISTICAL RANKINGS:
The Utes are ranked No. 16 in goals-against average (0.62) and placed 14th in winning percentage (0.833) in the most recent NCAA statistics. Ute goalkeepers junior Lynnsey Asay-Kimball and senior Courtney Hills-McBeth also received NCAA rankings.

SCOUTING WYOMING:
In last week's bout with New Mexico, Wyoming lost on a penalty kick, which was the only score of the game. The Lobos defeated the Cowgirls in a defensive showdown 1-0 Sunday at UW Soccer Stadium. The game marked the fifth straight loss for the Cowgirls and their fourth straight game decided by one goal.
LAST WEEK:
Utah battled for solo possession of the MWC regular season championship. The Utes unfortunately fell to instate rival BYU, 2-1. The Cougars were able to withstand a late second half surge by the Utes to take home not only the victory, but also the No. 1 seeding in the MWC tournament.
NEXT WEEK:
The Utes are hopeful for a first-ever NCAA bid. The NCAA First and Second Rounds begin Nov. 15-17. Game times are TBA.
