"The team is really gaining an instinct for playing together," said Coach Jean Bathgate in her outlook for this weekend's competition. "The instinct is something that only comes from experience, and it should make for a successful trip." Today the Cougars face the University of Denver, a team that, according to Bathgate, "traditionally hasn't been real strong." She added that they do have a new coach this year, so anything could happen. BYU will stage a rematch with Northern Colorado on Friday at 4 p.m. When the Cougars last met UNC on home turf in September, the match ended in a 0 tie. Bathgate hopes her team's improved concentration and aggressive scoring will give BYU the edge. 0-- The toughest competition Bathgate expects will be on Saturday, when the Cougars meet Colorado State. CSU also has a new coach from the East, which should prove to be a positive factor in their play. Bathfate said. "We need to do do well in all of these matches to stay in the running for the regional tournament," Bathgate said, and aside from a few cases of flu, her team is ready to go.
