Show MONDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2007 Sports . THE COLLEGE TIMES B 5 SOCCER from B8 Delaware State at Wolverine Field and looked to avoid going winless at home this season. "This weekend will determine our seeding for the tournament/' Coach Anderson said. "We want to get some positive results." In a tough loss to NDSU, in which Utah Valley was held scoreless in the 1-0 defeat, the tying goal scored by the Wolverines was taken away in the 88th minute due to a late handball called by the referee. It didn't get any easier as Utah Valley traveled south to take on SDSU and was blown out 7-1. Freshman Chelsey ElMerinda Pearce / College Timei Utah Valley forward Jenni Clough and the rest of the soccer team has lison scored the lone goal, which was also her first of had some rough games this year. the season. "In the first 15 minutes we had some opportunities," Anderson said. "The difference was, we let in a goal and from that moment collapsed." One of the many things that have plagued the young team has been discouragement. On several occasions this year, Utah Valley has allowed an early goal and had to fight back. "Once that ball goes in, we're more worried about losing the game instead of winning the game," Anderson said. "We just have to keep focus on playing our game, working on our process and we'll be OK." After the team's final two home games over the weekend, Utah Valley will hit the road against Southern Utah and Eastern Washington to close out the regular season.
