Nearing the end of the regular season, the University of Colorado Boulder women’s soccer team headed to their final two away games against the University of California Berkeley, followed by Stanford. Both games ended in a loss for the Buffs, making their current overall record 8-7-4.
In Thursday’s match, the Buffs held off a goal from the Bears during the first 25 minutes of the game, using disciplined defense and aggression. CU’s tough defense was critical during their previous match against USC, but the Buffs could not keep the same rigor against Berkely.
24 minutes in, a Berkeley forward capitalized on a counter-attack, sending a pass over the heads of Colorado defenders and finding her teammate for a header goal.
