OREM — Utah Valley women's soccer heads north to face in-state foe Utah State at Chuck & Gloria Bell Soccer Field in Logan. Kickoff is set for Thursday at 3 p.m. MT, with the match streamed on the Mountain West Network.

Utah Valley (4-3-1) enters off a dramatic 4-3 comeback win at Weber State, overturning two separate two-goal deficits behind goals from Sadie Beardall, Marie Quentel, Kate Shirts, and Nixan Jackson. Quentel was named WAC Offensive Player of the Week after coming off the bench to score in the 64th minute and serve the 68' corner for Shirts' equalizer. UVU remains No. 6 in the United Soccer Coaches Pacific Region Top-10 and features several top-30 national stat marks as of Sept. 16. Through eight matches, Ruby Hladek (5g, 5a) leads the Wolverines in points, Faith Webber has four goals and two assists with a team-best 29 shots and two game-winners, and Leah Wolf has played every minute (40 saves, 1.57 GAA, one shutout).

Scouting Utah State
Utah State (2-3-2) split last week—beating Weber State 2-1 at home before a 2-1 road loss to (RV) Texas Tech. The Aggies struck first in Lubbock through Summer Diamond (assist Tess Werts), but conceded on a corner and a 75' penalty. USU is tough at Bell Field (31-5-8 at home over the last four seasons) and returns key veterans Kaylie Chambers (top-10 in program points) and Werts (fifth all-time in assists), along with graduate goalkeeper Taylor Rath (season-opening MW Defensive Player of the Week). Head coach Manny Martins has led USU to back-to-back Mountain West titles and an NCAA berth, and the Aggies were picked to win the league this year.
