After suffering a tough loss to the University of California Los Angeles on Oct. 20, Colorado faced the University of Southern California Trojans on Sunday, Oct. 23. Despite the 0-6 loss three days before, the Buffs played confidently, tying with the Trojans 1-1.
The USC forwards immediately began to test Colorado’s defensive line, taking multiple shots on goal in the first few minutes of the match, one of which barely missed the net and bounced off the sidebar. Off an indirect kick, USC placed the ball at the top of Colorado’s box and had a shot on net, but junior forward Shyra James cleared it at the last minute.
