PROVO -- After defeating league leading Wyoming 5-1, the No. 16 BYU women's soccer will be looking to close out the 2003 regular season with a conference win as they battle No. 14 Utah for the Mountain West Conference regular season crown.
Saturday's match between the Utes and Cougars will be televised live on KBYU and BYUTV starting at 7:00 p.m. and will also be carried live on the Internet via BYUTV.org.
The Cougars (12-4-2, 4-1-0) traveled to Honolulu for a Monday night matchup against the Rainbow Wahine (13-4-2, 7-1-0) who finished the regular season behind SMU for second-place in the Western Athletic Conference.
The Cougars and Wahine played to a 2-2 double overtime draw, marking the second time this season BYU has fought to a double overtime finish with the first game of the season ending in a 0-0 finish with then No. 17 Michigan.
After facing Hawaii the Cougars returned home to close out the season on Saturday with a conference home game against in-state rival No. 14 Utah (14-2-0, 5-0-0) who is in sole possession of first place in the MWC.
Saturday's game caries with it the regular season Mountain West Conference title and a first-round bye in the MWC Tournament as the Cougars would own the tie-breaker over the Utes if they were to win.
BYU lost for the first time in school history to Utah last season when the Utes defeated the Cougars 2-3 in overtime during the NCAA Tournament.
Dating back to the first meeting between the two schools in 1995, the Cougars own a 12-1 overall record against the Utes where BYU has outscored Utah 37-15 in those meetings.
Kickoff for the Utes and Cougars is set for 7:00 p.m. (MDT)) on Saturday, Nov. 1, at South Stadium in Provo.
