Every ending could very well be a new beginning, and with the regular season out of the way for Utah Valley, the United Soccer Conference Tournament may be the fresh start the Wolverines are looking for. The old sports cliché of throwing out the records couldn’t be truer in the Wolverines situation this season.
Home field advantage is supposed to help a team, but until the women’s soccer team played a couple of United Soccer Conference games at the end of the season on Wolverine Field, the comforts of home weren’t doing the job. Before Utah Valley’s game against the New Jersey Institute of Technology, a 5-0 Wolverine win, the team was outscored 10-1 on its home turf.
It was a dominating day for Utah Valley cross country as both the men and the women posted six top-10 finishes en route to sweeping the team competitions and becoming Independent Champions. The team wins mark the second consecutive meet that both Wolverine squads have taken home first place.
It wasn’t long ago that Utah Valley was the defeated team on the wrong side of a lopsided win. But things have changed since the program started three years ago. Seth Armitage led the way for the Wolverines in their crushing 25-2 win over BYU-Idaho the day after Metro State fell 10-1 to the Wolverines.
Utah Valley came out with fire last week, which led to a three-game sweep against in-state rival Utah State University.It was the first win in four attempts this season against the in-state Aggies. "I didn’t expect to come in and win three straight," Utah Valley coach Sam Atoa said.

Never was that more apparent than at the annual green and gold wrestle off at the Shurian Family Activity Center last week to kick of the 2007-08 season.
