Photo by Mykah Heaton One year after UVU marched into the Marriott Center and set offensive records with the first win in program history over BYU, the Cougars returned the favor Wednesday night in the sold-out UCCU Center. The fourth installment of the matchup dubbed the Crosstown Clash ended in the third Cougar victory as BYU (5-2) stifled the offense of UVU (4-3) on the way to a dominant 85-58 victory. “BYU just crushed us. They out-coached us by far. Their players out-executed us and out-toughed us,” said UVU head coach Mark Pope. “Not just in physical toughness, which...

Men’s basketball: UVU completes toughest 24 with loss at #1 Duke

After holding an early 17-13 lead over the Blue Devils, the tired legs became apparent for the Wolverines, and the game snowballed quickly out of hand. At the final buzzer, Duke had steamrolled the Wolverines 99-69. For the second night in a row, a 2-3 zone defense and live ball turnovers were UVU’s undoing....

The Wolverines (14-15, 9-5) closed out the season and a two-game home stand, overpowering the Cougars (10-21, 1-13) in a final tune up before the WAC tournament next week in Texas. The win, combined with a New Mexico State victory over Cal State Bakersfield and a Texas- Rio Grande Valley win over Grand Canyon elsewhere in the WAC, secures the No. 3 seed for the Wolverines in next week’s tournament. “It was...

Men’s soccer: UVU misses WAC tournament to close disappointing season

Photo by Cody Glassett When the WAC men’s soccer tournament kicked off Nov. 8, there was a notable name missing from the bracket. The team that had spent time ranked in the national top 25 and beaten No. 4 Akron on opening night, had failed to make the postseason. In retrospect, the 2017 season for UVU began on rocky ground. The 2016 version of the team, which won the WAC regular season title, had graduated second leading scorer Skyler Milne and defensive leader Alex Neff. Aaron Meyer, 2016’s third leading scorer, left the team to serve a mission for...

UVU will travel to Stanford, Calif. to take on the No. 1 overall seed Cardinal Saturday, Nov. 11 at 8 p.m. MST. The Wolverines’ 10-11-1 record entering the tournament put UVU in a tough spot from a seeding perspective, ultimately giving the team the toughest draw of the entire field. Stanford ended the season at 18-1-0 as the PAC-12 regular season and tournament champions. The Cardinal’s only loss of the season came in a...
