The 2021 season has been a journey for the University of Colorado soccer team. Due to COVID-19, its typical fall schedule was postponed until the spring. When the Buffs finally did play, they had the daunting challenge of playing only Pac-12 opponents. After falling to the bottom half of the Pac-12 standings, CU responded by rattling off a four game undefeated stretch to close out the regular season and secure an NCAA tournament bid.
But for every team except one, the journey eventually ends in disappointment.
On Tuesday, Colorado’s journey came to a screeching halt in the first round of the NCAA tournament against the University of South Alabama.
