OREM—Julianna Carter and Amber Tripp each scored goals to lead Utah Valley to a 2-0 shutout win over WAC rival Seattle U on Thursday night at Clyde Field. The win secures the Wolverines a spot at the WAC Tournament in November.
 
Utah Valley improves to 9-5-2 overall and 4-1-2 in WAC play. Seattle U falls to 7-6-4 overall and 1-5-2 in league play.

"It was a complete performance tonight," said Utah Valley head coach Chris Lemay. "From minute one to minute 90 it was one of our best performances of the season. It's a great time to be peeking and we beat a very good team tonight."
 
Utah Valley got on the scoreboard in the 30th minute after Tripp led Carter with a pass from the middle of the field into the box. Carter settled it and then punched it forward into the net with her right foot to give the Wolverines a 1-0 lead. The goal is the third of the season for Carter, who has now registered goals in back-to-back matches.

Tripp stole the ball after Seattle U tried to clear it from inside the box in the 66th minute and fired it into the back of the net to gives the Wolverines a 2-0 cushion. The goal is the third of the season for Tripp and the 19th of her career.
