SEATTLE—The Utah Valley University women's soccer team gave up a goal in the 56th minute and couldn't recover in a 1-0 loss to Seattle U in the Wolverine's final non-conference match of the season.
 
With the setback, Utah Valley falls to 6-4-1 overall on the season, while Seattle U improves to 5-5-1 with the win. The two teams will meet again on Oct. 28 in a conference match at Clyde Field.
 
"I thought we were lacking a little bit of leadership out on the field tonight," Utah Valley head coach Brent Anderson said. "We were putting in great individual effort. They didn't organize as a team very well and they put a lot of individual energy into the match. I think if they would have worked better as a team, we would have had a better result tonight."
 
Isabelle Butterfield scored the game winner in the 56th minute after finding a corner kick in the box and shooting it in the back of the net for the score. Hope Fleckner and Karli White were credited with assists on the goal.
 
Seattle U out-shot Utah Valley 14-6 on the night, including a 4-2 advantage on goal. Breanna DeWaal led the Wolverines with two shots, including one on goal. Sarah Cipperley also had a shot on goal against the Redhawks.
 
Brooklyn Nielsen played all 90 minutes in the box for the Wolverines. The freshman keeper tallied three saves on 14 SU shots.
 
Utah Valley now returns to Clyde Field to open WAC play on Oct. 7 against CSU Bakersfield. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
