The University of Colorado women’s soccer team defeated the University of Northern Colorado Bears in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, 6-0, marking the Buffs 11th NCAA Tournament appearance.
The teams entered the matchup with similar records but CU came in with an edge. Colorado finished their season with an 11-7-2 record while UNC ended 9-10-4. Back in September, the Buffs won the lone matchup between these two in the regular season by a score of 4-0.
CU appeared to put an emphasis on ball control early, looking for the safe pass rather than rushing the ball into the offensive third of the field.
