No. 24 Seattle U Opens Conference Play at Utah Valley: After a pair of wins last weekend to close out their non-conference schedule and with a move back into the national rankings this week, No. 24 Seattle U men’s soccer heads to Orem, Utah to face Utah Valley in their Western Athletic Conference opener on Saturday, Oct. 4 at 7 p.m. MT/6 p.m. PT.
