(I plan on continuing to use and update this thread and post as, hopefully, the Buffs advance in the tournament.)
It's a few days until Buff SOCCER (10-3-5 overall; 4-2-5 in Big 12 play), the #9 seed in their 1st season back in the Big 12, head to Kansas City to begin its trek towards being Big 12 tourney champions with a 1st round match Wednesday afternoon that will end up being a quick back to back against the #8 seed Utah Utes (8-5-5, 5-3-3). (The Buffs just ended regular season play with a scoreless draw against the Utes this past Friday night.)
The winner of the CU-Utah match is scheduled to play a quarterfinal match, also starting at 1:00 PM MT, Saturday afternoon against the #1 seeded/ #9 ranked (as of 10/20) TCU Horned Frogs (14-2-2, 9-0-2), who have a 1st round bye.
All tournament games are scheduled to be played at the CPKC Stadium in Kansas City, I believe the only women's soccer- centric pro stadium in the country, and home to the NWSL's KC Current squad. It's very new, with the Current's 1st match there held this past March.
As with all CU home soccer matches and all conference tilts, all tourney matches are slotted to be streamed on (the premium) ESPN+ platform. (Links and more information about coverage for each CU game will be added further down in this post.)
In the current RPI rankings (dated 10/26/24, https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/soccer-women/d1/ncaa-womens-soccer-rpi ), CU is #62, while the Utes are at #80 and the Horned Frogs #14.
Go Buffs!!!
