Back at Home, Utah Soccer Ready to Roll Against Arizona

SALT LAKE CITY – Through 17 fixtures, the University of Utah women’s soccer team has played nearly twice as many road matches as home contests, but the Utes are now preparing to conclude their 2023 regular season schedule with three consecutive home games, starting with a pair of matchups at Ute Field against their conference foes from The Grand Canyon State.
 
The Utes’ first action of the week will take place on Thursday, when they’re scheduled to host the Arizona State Sun Devils at 6 p.m, followed on Sunday by a 12 p.m. meeting with the Arizona Wildcats.

Thursday’s festivities will begin at 5 p.m. with Trunk or Treat in the parking lot outside Ute Field and The Muss as well as Utah student-athletes handing out candy. Fans in Halloween costumes will be able to attend the match free of charge. It will also be Greek Night at Ute Field and the first 500 students will receive free koozies, with the chapter that wins the night’s competition receiving free pit vipers and a plaque as well.
 
Sunday’s tilt will serve as Pink Night, with the Utes donning pink uniforms and fans encouraged to wear pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The first 200 fans will receive free pink Utah Soccer shirts. Utah will also honor community heroes by allowing active duty military and retired veterans, first responders, health care workers and their families in for free.
 
Scouting Arizona State
The Sun Devils have made their presence felt this season with an impressive early run, not tasting defeat until their tenth match against Texas Tech on Sept. 10. Their 5-2-1 record in the PAC-12 is punctuated by a 1-0 victory over No. 11 USC. However, since conference play has begun, ASU has suffered two losses against No. 3 Stanford on Sept. 28 and No. 2 UCLA on Oct. 22.
