Whoever wins the Wasatch Cup is given a bye past the regional playoffs in the Pacific Conference and is placed into the No. i seed for the collegiate playoffs. Meanwhile, the loser must travel to the regional tournament and battle for a tournament spot. "There's a lot of money on the line here," said Burdette said. "Once you figure in travel costs for the squad for regionals, you're looking at a $17,000 game. That's a lot for a club team to fundraise." The Scrummin' Utes are coming into the game with a three-game winning streak, and an overall 13-1 record. Utah's lone loss of the season was to international powerhouse University of Victoria, whose roster boasts 13 players who have performed national team duty. Meanwhile, the Cougars are coming into Saturday's game as the defending national champions.
