QUICK KICKS

• Utah has never beaten a team ranked in the top five nationally away from home
• The Utes have amassed 74 corner kicks, second most in the conference; UCLA leads the way with 84
•
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 58 saves, seven shutouts (14th nationally), an .843 save percentage (29th nationally) and 1152.57 minutes played (20th nationally).
Nelson's 20 career shutouts place her third all-time in Utah history and she needs 39 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
Holly Daugirda scored her team-leading third goal of the season in Utah's 1-1 draw with Oregon State on Thursday evening. The Utes stayed undefeated at home with a 2-0 result on Sunday.
Ireland Dunn scored her first goal of the year before
Emali Mackinnon netted for the first time in her career after earning her first start as a Ute.
SERIES HISTORY
Utah is 2-7-3 vs USC, 0-5 in L.A., and has been out-scored 7-0 in those games away from home. These teams have tied three of the last four meetings. Utah's last win away from home against a team ranked in the Top 10 occurred here during the 2016 NCAA Tournament (2-1 vs No. 10 Florida State).
The Utes are 2-7-1 vs UCLA with a 1-5 mark in L.A. The first meeting between these teams (10/1/04) was the last win for Utah against a top 10 foe in a true road game. The last three contests here in Westwood have all been decided by one goal.
Haylee Cacciacarne has scored five goals in her career and two have been against UCLA.
