WOMEN'S SOCCER: The Utes (7-7-2, 2-1-1 MWC) tied their highest offensive output of the season Thursday night as they defeated TCU (8-7-0, 1-3-0) by a 3-1 score. The game-winning goal came on a direct free kick from senior midfielder Kelly Isleib.

The Utes opened the scoring in the 30th minute of play as sophomore forward Erin Dalley buried a header from six yards out off a perfect cross from sophomore midfielder Chelsea Forbes. It was Dalley's fifth goal of the year, tied for second on the team, and was her second score in Mountain West Conference play. Forbes' registered her third assist.

Isleib made it 2-0 in Utah's favor less than two minutes later as she buried the free kick from 30 yards out. Following a TCU foul, Isleib place the ball, examined the wall and the goalkeeper, then bent a shot over the wall and into the left side netting. It was her third goal of the year off of a direct free kick and marks her second game-winner.

Just eight minutes out of halftime, freshman forward Hanna Terry made it a 3-0 Utah advantage as she punished the Frogs for a defensive miscue. A long ball was flicked on by Dalley into the defensive third of TCU, where a defender attempted to play back to her goalkeeper. The ball strayed too wide however and was collected by Terry. She cut it back inside, put it on her right foot and hit an 18-yard shot that took a slight deflection and beat the goalkeeper to the bottom right corner. It was Terry's fifth goal of the year, tying Dalley for second on the squad.
