BOULDER – When Colorado hosts the University of Denver on Sunday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, it would be easy to come into the game complacent after the Buffs blew out the Pioneers 6-1 in a matchup earlier this season. But that match was an exception to the rule in the series with DU and the Buffs are fully aware of that. That rule, of course, is that all matches between the two schools are closely contested.
The Pioneers were without their starting goalkeeper in the matchup on Sept. 16 as Brittany Wilson was forced to sit out after receiving an unfortunate red card in DU's previous match.
"When you look at the history of our results, the game in September was really an aberration from the previous results," head coach Danny Sanchez said. "Not having a starting goalkeeper obviously affected them. To be fair to our group, I thought we played really well. I thought we deserved to win. We defended very well, attacked really well, and we scored some really good goals. So we know that Denver is going to bring everything on Sunday, we will as well, and I think it is going to be a great NCAA Tournament match."

Scouting the Pioneers
Besides Wilson in goal, Denver has several weapons that will challenge the Buffs. Senior Jessie Dancy was named Summit League Offensive Player of the Year and has 14 goals this season, earning the conference's Golden Boot Award. Meg Halvorson was named Summit League Freshman of the Year. Adler and defender Makenzie Bothner both joined Dancy on the All-Summit League first team. Halvorson, Wilson and freshman centerback Taylor Parker were both second team selections.
DU has been even hotter than CU lately, carrying a five-match winning streak into the postseason and winning seven of its eight matches since Oct. 1. The Pioneers captured the Summit League championship with a 2-1 defeat of North Dakota State in the final last weekend in Fargo, N.D.
Sunday's match info
Kickoff is scheduled for 12 p.m. at Prentup Field on Sunday. The match will be televised live on Pac-12 Mountain. Tickets are $8 for adults and $4 for youth and students with an ID.
