If there was a Los Alamos in Utah, and they had a branch of Utah Valley University, would it be UVULA?

A good dose of bad first touches and terrible decision making on the ball from SMU dampened their possession and control in the 1st 45. Goal was a good piece of finishing off a lackluster save that should have been parried much better by the UVU keeper.

After this first 45, looks like the NCAA's were correct to not offer us a first round bye. Definitely need more decisive play.

Sometimes all you need is a little friendly to settle into the tourney. On to Denver! I am a little concerned about the altitude effects in our guys though...

they are talking about going up late to try and avoid the effects of the high-altitude

Is it common in college soccer for the clock to tick down to 0:00 rather than up to 90:00?

College soccer clock is an abomination to the game. Goes from 45:00 to 0:00 each half. Stops on official indication such as foul and injuries. We had to change it for some reason...just had to.
