KICKOFF
Utah Soccer plays its first conference games at Ute Field this weekend when it welcomes Oregon State on Thursday at 7 p.m. and Oregon on Sunday at 1 p.m.
QUICK KICKS
• Utah's strength of schedule is the strongest in the conference and ranks 16th nationally
• The Utes have amassed 63 corner kicks, second most in the conference
•
Holly Daugirda's two game-winning goals rank fourth in the Pac-12
NELSON NAMED PAC-12 GOALKEEPER OF THE WEEK
Carly Nelson was named the Pac-12 Goalkeeper of the Week on Sep. 24 after a pair of shutouts against Butler and San Diego.
The Ute stopper combined with Utah's defense to blank its last four opponents in non-conference play. This was the longest shutout streak for a Ute defense since the 2006 season (9 games)
The senior from Lindon leads the Pac-12 with 50 saves and six shutouts and second in save percentage at .847. She also leads the league in minutes played (952:57).
Nelson's 19 career shutouts place her third all-time in Utah history and she needs 47 saves to crack the top five in that category.
This was the 16th Pac-12 weekly award for Utah Soccer and fourth for Nelson
WEEK IN REVIEW

Courtney Talbot opened the scoring off an assist from
Holly Daugirda, before the Sun Devils struck twice to take the lead.
Aleea Gwerder converted a penalty kick in the 74th minute to earn her side a draw on the same field where she suffered a season-ending injury last year.
