Our Coaches Corner series continues this week with Carly Dockendorf, who is going into her 2nd season  as the head coach at Utah. Last season — in their final season in the Pac 12 conference — the Utes won the Pac 12 Championship title for the 4th consecutive year and went on to finish third at the NCAA Championships. As they gear up for their first season in the Big 12 conference, we sat down with Carly to talk about some of the new faces on the team this season — including how they snagged Ana Padurariu from their longtime rival UCLA. We also talk about lessons Carly learned from her first season as a head coach and what she feels the team needs to do to take their post season performance to the next level.
