Meet No. 24 Utah

They currently sit at 14-1 with a national ranking of No. 24. Their only loss this season came at the hands of another nationally ranked team in No. 23 Harvard. Since that point, however, they have won their last nine matches. Their match with ODU is scheduled for this Friday at 1:00 p.m. EST.
