Best wishes to the soccer team (8-7-3, 3-4-3) as, later today, they try to keep (probably slim) post-season hopes alive as they travel to Salt Lake City to face the Utes (6-10-3, 1-7-2).
The match is scheduled to be on the Pac 12 Networks.

Sometimes home really is where the heart is.
That's what Colorado head coach Danny Sanchez has made clear during his time at CU. He and his coaches target the best players in the country to become Buffs, and that includes the hotbed the state of Colorado has become when it comes to producing top soccer talent.
They may not always land all the targeted in-state talent on the first try, but that doesn't mean it's over. Danica Evans, Morgan Stanton, Megan Massey and Tatum Barton are just a few examples of in-state players that found their way back to Colorado.
Two of the latest examples are Colorado seniors Sofia Weiner and Gabbi Chapa. The departing duo is two of four current Colorado natives that began their collegiate career outside of Boulder.
"We recruit the best Colorado players and hope that they come [to CU]," Sanchez explained. "But if they don't, we always leave the door open. We've had a lot of success with players like them. Hailey Stodden and Dani Hansen are also examples right now, but you can put the list together."
...
The Buffaloes take on Utah on Friday in Salt Lake City (3 p.m.), marking the final regular-season game for Chapa and Weiner. The Buffs hope to play more soccer this season with a berth to the NCAA Tournament.
That announcement will come Monday, but no matter what Weiner and Chapa both can be proud of what they've accomplished with Colorado across their chest.
"This is not an easy task," Weiner admitted. "I think sometimes it's brushed over. It's a hard feat to do this, especially for five years emotionally, mentally and physically. I think first and foremost, I'm just proud. I think the impact that Colorado has left on me is my resilience and my commitment to something. Even when it pushes you away multiple times. You just come back and keep trying. I think that resiliency is going not take us far in life."
"It's sad to see it come to an end," Chapa added. "But you really just have to soak it up and enjoy these last moments because it ends at some point. I think we're just trying to enjoy it."
