SANTA CLARA, Calif.—Utah Valley wrapped up its California road trip with a 5-0 setback to Santa Clara on Sunday afternoon at Stevens Stadium in Santa Clara.
 
"We played a team that was organized, disciplined, crafty, and that executed well," said Utah Valley head coach Chris Lemay. "This game allowed us the opportunity to see what the highest level teams in the NCAA do, how they go about their business, and what it is like to pay attention to every detail. Having played this game will only make us tougher for the remainder of our matches. There were times in the game that when we had the ball, we were able to create some tempo. We will work hard to ensure that we find more of those moments moving forward."
