Utah Valley Snapshot
UVU (7-4-2, 3-0-1 WAC) battled to a 3–3 draw at Utah Tech on Thursday, extending its unbeaten start to league play. The Wolverines have scored 20 goals across their first four WAC matches (5.0 per game) and continue to generate heavy chance volume behind standouts Faith Webber, Ruby Hladek, and Nixan Jackson, with goalkeeper Leah Wolf anchoring the back line. UVU also remains unbeaten in WAC regular-season play since Oct. 8, 2022.

About Southern Utah
Southern Utah (2-8-2, 1-3-0 WAC) remains at home after a tight 1–0 defeat to California Baptist on Thursday. The Thunderbirds have leaned on attacking duo Whitney Gardner and Sarah Assumma (3 goals, 3 assists each) and the shot-stopping of goalkeeper Jazmyn Brass, who has started every match and surpassed 50 saves on the season. SUU has been in several one-goal, defensive-tilting contests and will look to keep the ball, create set-piece moments, and slow UVU's transition game. (Note: Defender Aubrey/Aubrie Murray will miss Sunday after a red card vs. CBU.)
