From Press Release
Salt Lake City (April 21, 2009) –The BYU/Utah Lacrosse Classic will take place on Friday at Juan Diego High School in Draper, Utah.
The last time the Utes and Cougars met was on April 17, 2008 at Juan Diego High School. BYU jumped out to an early lead and led 8-1 at halftime. Utah held BYU to three goals in the second half and managed to score two goals to make the final score 11-3 in favor of BYU.
