Utah State soccer to face BYU in NCAA Tournament First Round | Sports

LOGAN, Utah – After winning the Mountain West Soccer Tournament for the third-straight season to secure an automatic postseason bid, Utah State learned its NCAA Tournament fate on Monday. The Aggies, heading to the fifth NCAA Tournament in program history, will travel to Provo, Utah, to face five-seed BYU on Friday, Nov. 14, at 6 p.m. “We’re really excited about getting the opportunity to go into the tournament,” said Utah State head coach Manny Martins. “It’s been a long season filled with adversity, but I’m really proud of the group for showing resilience. To get the automatic bid is nice, and going down to BYU, it’s a good rivalry we have created here in the last few years. It’s going to be a tough game, but I think it’s going to be a tough game for both teams. It’s exciting, and it’s going to be great for the state.”   Utah State enters the postseason with a 10-6-6 overall record. The Aggies three-peated as Mountain West Tournament champions, after going 5-2-3 in conference play to earn the three-seed, then taking down New Mexico, Air Force and Boise State en route to the title.

Monday Cooldown — Aggies dig deep and produce impressive results vs Nevada | Sports

Aggie Nation likely awaited Saturday’s gridiron meetup between Utah State and Nevada with mild trepidation. On the one hand, the Wolf Pack were 1-7 entering that matchup. There’s no way the Aggies would lose. But on the other, recent games like Hawaii, San Jose State and New Mexico lingered. Those were all anticipated as games USU could, and maybe should, win. Yet two were losses and the other an uncomfortably close win over a team that now sits at 3-6 itself. Would the unthinkable happen? Could Utah State find a way to lose to a team vastly inferior on paper? By the end of the first quarter, even the most pessimistic Aggie fan had put their worries to bed. Whatever faults have presented themselves amid Utah State’s 1-3 run through late September to late October were hardly present against Nevada. Utah State’s bottom five pass protection? Bryson Barnes was pressured at the lowest rate since USU’s games against McNeese and Air Force. A defense that had averaged 507.5 yards per game to opponents over the last four games? A mere 242, and a lot of that was in garbage time.  Slow starts on offense? A 24-point first quarter, best of

OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Leevi Merilainen made 29 saves in his third NHL start and the Ottawa Senators beat the Utah Mammoth 4-2 on Sunday night, with both teams completing a back-to-back set. On Saturday, the Mammoth fell 6-2 in Montreal, and the Senators outlasted the Flyers in 3-2 in overtime in Philadelphia. Nick Cousins, Ridly Greig, Jordan Spence and Michael Amadio scored for Ottawa in the opener of a four-game homestand. Amadio has goals in his past four games. Nick Schmaltz and Clayton Keller scored for Utah, and Vitek Vanecek made 21 saves. Utah lost its third straight to complete a four-game trip. After an overtime victory in Buffalo, the Mammoth also lost at Toronto and Montreal. Utah appeared to tie it at 3 early in the third when Jack McBain, sprawled on the ice, poked in a loose puck, but the goal was waved off for incidental contact.

Aggies win third-straight Mountain West Tournament title | Sports

BOISE, Idaho — Utah State soccer (10-6-6, 5-2-3 MW) secured its third-straight Mountain West Tournament title and punched its ticket to the NCAA Tournament for the fifth time in program history, defeating Boise State in penalty kicks Saturday night at Boas Soccer Complex.  After a first half in which the sides combined for just a single shot on goal, Utah State’s first goal of the night came in the 49th minute when a no-look back-foot touch from senior forward Kaylie Chambers found junior midfielder Summer Diamond unmarked in the middle of the box. Diamond needed just a single touch to deliver a left-footer past the diving reach of Boise State keeper and 2025 Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year Ava De Leest to make it a 1-0 game.   The Aggies tacked on another in the 64th minute, following a collision between players inside of the box which resulted in a penalty kick for Utah State. Graduate midfielder Rine Yonaha stepped up to take the PK, and calmly delivered a ball into the bottom right corner of the net to extend the Aggie advantage.   Despite not recording a single shot on goal until the 57th minute, however, the hosts

Utah State explodes out of the gate, routs Nevada | Sports

LOGAN — A season-best first-quarter scoring explosion set the tone for Utah State as it plastered Nevada to advance to 5-0 in home games this season. The Aggies went up 24-0 by the end of the first 15-minute period and never even glanced back, taking home a 51-14 victory by evening’s end. Utah State’s dominance was so extreme, it even caught head coach Bronco Mendenhall off guard. “I didn’t see that score coming,” Mendenhall said. “Nevada’s been really good on defense. They’ve played one score games in regards of who they played all year long.” The path to that 24-point lead was a nearly perfect series of events in which Utah State scored on every possession on offense while shutting down Nevada’s offense every time it took the field. Utah State’s first possession nearly went three-and-out, with short gains setting up 3rd & 7 on its own 28-yard line. Then Bryson Barnes connected with Brady Boyd on a 19-yard pass to convert the third down. One play later, Barnes found Boyd again, that time for 53 yards and a touchdown. It was the first of two touchdowns and contributed to his team-leading 117 receiving yards. Torched ‘em! 🔥Brady Boyd left the
