Soccer: Utes announce 10 signings
The University of Utah's women's soccer program was rocked a bit last month when a couple of star players announced they were leaving the progam for another school.

However, it appears the Utes have taken some steps toward replacing the stars.

Utah coach Rich Manning announced the signing of 10 players, including seven from Utah.

The Utah signees are:

* Bountiful High forward Chelsea Forbes

* Murray High goalkeeper Shaylynn Kennedy

* Viewmont High midfielder Mallory Mitamura

* East High midfielder Lauren Porter

* Orem High forward Anne Shallenberger

* Davis High midfielder Roxanne Tebbs

* Timpview High defender Kellie Woodfield



The Utes have also signed Lauren Dudley of Las Vegas, Katie Martinez of Littleton, Colo., and Hannah Turpen of San Clemente, Calif.

A reader let me know that Sky View High's Jared Erickson, the state champion at 215 pounds at last week's 4A state wrestling tournament, has been offered a scholarship to wrestle at Air Force. Erickson, who almost received a football scholarship offer from SUU, but was bypassed late in the process, will visit the AFA soon.

Speaking of wrestling, another reader alerted me to the fact that Duchesne coach Brandon Moat, who led the Eagles to their first 1A state championship since 1981 last week, was also a four-time state champion.
