2-1 Women’s Utes Soccer Victory

The first night game at Ute Field began with a hard attack on the Purdue goal by the Runnin’ Utes. Although thwarted by the Boilermaker’s defense, the Utes would continue to attack and ravage the goal. The Utes scored in the 30th minute, on a through-ball resulting in a one-on-one situation with the Purdue goalkeeper. The half ended 1-0 in favor of the Utes. The halftime show consisted of two local girls’ teams playing a short game on the pitch at Ute Field.

After the halftime festivities, Purdue came out on the field, looking as pumped as the Utes did after the first goal. This energy contributed to a goal about the 50th minute, scoring as the Utah defense collapsed. Utah’s morale did not suffer from this goal, as the Ute women got back ahead, scoring in the 70th minute, with about 20 minutes left. Despite being plagued with fouls and even a yellow card in the first half, the Utes ended the game 2-1, adding another victory to their record now of 5-0-0.
