OREM, Utah- The Utah Valley University women's soccer team wraps up regular season play this week as the squad hosts WAC-leader Seattle U Saturday at 12 p.m. MT. 

Utah Valley is 12-5-2 overall and 7-2-0 in WAC play. The Wolverines swept a pair of WAC home games last week, defeating Chicago State 3-0 before downing Missouri-Kansas City 2-0. UVU has won seven of its last eight matches. The Wolverines have registered four straight shutout victories. 
 
Junior forward Kali Stubbs and senior midfielder Kim Stratford are tied for the team lead with five goals each. Stubbs also has five assists and is the team leader in points with 15. Stubbs also fronts the team with 37 shots (12 on goal). Junior keeper Jessica Duffin is the WAC leader with nine shutouts. She holds a 0.77 goals against average as she has allowed only 15 goals this year.

ABOUT THE OPPOSITION
Seattle U is the defending WAC regular season and tournament champion. The Redhawks had won 17-straight conference matches before losing to Grand Canyon at home on Oct. 10. It marked the first conference loss since Nov. 2, 2012.
 
Seattle U holds a 11-4-2 overall record and sit atop the WAC standings with a 7-1-1. Senior forward Stephanie Verdoia, from Salt Lake City, is Seattle U's all-time career leader in points (122) and goals (47). She also leads the WAC this season with 18 goals, 11 assists, 47 points, 87 shots and five game-winning goals.
 
WHAT'S ON THE LINE SATURDAY?
The Wolverines sit just a single point behind Seattle U for the top spot in the WAC standings. Saturday's match marks the final match of the season for both squads. A win over Seattle U on Saturday would guarantee the Wolverines at least a second place finish in the WAC, which would give the team a bye in the first round of the WAC Tournament next week in Seattle. The win would also keep the Wolverines in the hunt for the WAC regular season title, which is Missouri-Kansas City's to lose with two matches against Chicago State remaining on its schedule.
 
RACE FOR THE WAC REGULAR SEASON TITLE
The WAC standings are based on a points system. A team receives three points for a win and one point for a tie. The race for this year's title comes down to three teams, including Seattle U, Utah Valley and Kansas City. Teams that finish first and second in the standings receive quarterfinal byes in next week's WAC Tournament.
