Scouting Utah Valley (12-5-2, 7-2-0 WAC): The Wolverines sit just below the Redhawks in the WAC standings, in second place, but just above in the NSCAA Regional standings, sitting currently in seventh going into the weekend. UVU’s two WAC losses this season have come vs. Grand Canyon, 2-0, at home, and earlier this season in Seattle, 2-1, to the Redhawks. Most recently, the Wolverines have recorded a four-game winning streak including a 2-0 shutout on Oct. 26 over Kansas City, who was undefeated in league play at that time. For her key role in the UVU defense in the pair of shutouts on the weekend (also defeating Chicago State, 3-0, on Oct. 24), Kalli Suesue was named WAC Defensive Player of the Week on Oct. 27. Offensively, Kali Stubbs leads Utah Valley with five goals and five assists for 15 points while, in goal, Jessica Duffin has recorded every minute for the Wolverines and a 0.77 GAA, good for second in the league.
