"Other than the guys having bragging rights," said head coach Rich Levi, "we're not really concerned about the score." The Utes play in the fourteam Rocky Mountain Lacrosse Conference, which Levi describes as "pretty competitive." Along with Utah, the league consists of Colorado, CSU and USU. As for the Utes' quest to become a varsity squad, a group of "seven lacrosse officers expressed their wishes and explained how committed (they) are to the program" in front of both Athlet- JARS OF CLAY ics Director Chris Hill and U President Michael K. Young, Levi said. "We're still waiting to hear back. We don't really know what we're up against... It requires a big commitment from our university but (promoting the team to varsity) would be our ultimate goal." The club's request might be unrealistic, Levi admitted. The lacrosse team's argument to Utah bigwigs? That lacrosse is a growing sport. Of the high schools in Utah, 30 have boys' teams and 18 have girls' teams, Levi said. Along with prep lacrosse on the rise, youth leagues are getting more abundant. That could likely spill over into the college ranks. The match starts at 6 p.m. at the Spence Eccles Field House. n.dicou@ chronicle.utah.edu BASEBALL BEGINS NEW SEASON ON ROAD lead but ended up falling 9-8, thanks in large part to the Cougars' five-run ninth inning.
