Eve of the Big XII​

CU travels to Kansas State tomorrow for their first conference match of the season. It will mark their first Big XII match since 2012. And the Big XII isn’t what it was back then with Nebraska, Texas and Texas A&M gone and thus weakening the conference’s RPI. Certainly, this version of the Big XII won’t be nearly as tough as the Pac 12 the Buffs experienced.

Remember that the Big XII title will be determined by a tournament in Kansas City, which will also determine the automatic NCAA tourney bid.

The chart below shows the current RPIs for all the Big XII teams. Those in yellow are the teams CU will face this season.

AD_4nXd1Xs3xk9j0aPXgapvVpkNOaK1wsMeKATLRnfNINi0fY5htEXhZrTwAA8MU_Cb1aLJfAJn6xxgmRbzejXh2C-Jcr581IkQdHORZ_r16Fe4v8W4W8cFbZ-3_Mdl6RO_JVsCGfEfbivU5BKSkPm4C


The Buffs have a good shot at a conference title this season and they are clearly going to get an NCAA tourney bid with an RPI of 24, assuming it doesn’t drop a lot by the end of the season.
 
Prior to the season three Buffs were named to the preseason all-Big VII team:

  • Shyra James 5th Yr F
  • Faith Leyba Jr. D
  • Jordan Nytes So. GK

In addition to the above the following players should be in the running for post-season honors:

  • Hope Leyba So F
  • Ava Priest SO D/M
  • Michaela Rosenbaum Gr. M
  • Greer Maguire Jr D
 
No score in the match with around 7 minutes left in the 1st half. Buffs with 6 shots on goal vs. 3 for KSU and lead 6 to 0 in corners.

CU starters were

 
Buffs SCORE in the 49th minute!

Holly gets a pass from Curren that sees her clear of any defenders to the right-side of the goal about 12 yards out from the goal and she gets it past the goalie for her 1st goal since she scored the Buffs 1st goal of the season in the season opener.

good win. I like they are finding ways to win without Shyra having to score most of the goals. I thought it was funny when the CU graphic for the game came out and they said it was the programs first ever big 12 win.
 
Jace Holley (Fr., Fort Collins) who scored the goal for the Buffs is gonna be really good as both an attacking midfielder and forward. She's already making a push to be a starter and I am sure she'll score more critical goals for CU this season.
 
Okie State is 8-0-1 this season and has yet to concede a goal. The lone blemish to their record is a 0-0 draw with Texas State at home.

CU has conceded 4 goals in 8 matches this season, with 6 consecutive shutouts. Three of those goals were in the loss to North Carolina early in the season.

Both teams are 1-0 in Big XII play.

Nytes Goes Back-to-Back, No. 21 Colorado Set for Showdown in Stillwater​

The Buffaloes continue Big 12 play on the road at No. 12 Oklahoma State

By: Seth Pringle, Athletic Communications

IRVING, Texas — Colorado goalkeeper Jordan Nytes continued her dominance in net for the Buffaloes last week, picking up her second consecutive Big 12 Goalkeeper of the Week honor on Wednesday.

The weekly honor is Nytes' third of the season and the fifth of her career, having collected two as a freshman at Oklahoma State in 2022. Overall, it marks her seventh weekly conference award, earning two Pac-12 Goalkeeper of the Week honors last season.

The 5-7 goalkeeper is the first player to earn back-to-back Goalkeeper of the Week honors since Texas' Mia Justus earned the award in consecutive weeks last season (Sept. 13, Sept. 20). It's the second time Nytes has earned back-to-back honors in the Big 12 having done so on Sept. 20 and Sept. 27 while at OSU in 2022.

The native of Centennial, Colo., made five saves in The Buffs' 1-0 shutout win to open Big 12 play last week at Kansas State. The win was her sixth shutout of the season and her 14th as a member of the Buffs.

Nytes has helped captain No. 21 Colorado to six straight wins, including five consecutive shutouts. Her six total shutouts this season are tied for the most in the Big 12 and rank second in the NCAA. Nytes hasn't conceded a goal since the final minute of the North Carolina match (Aug. 18), posting the second-longest consecutive shutout streak in CU history (519:52). Her five consecutive shutouts are tied for the longest streak in program history in terms of matches.

Since rejoining the conference, Nytes has collected all three of CU's Big 12 weekly honors. It is the 34th Big 12 honor collected by the Buffs and the third Goalkeeper of the Week award. Before Nytes, the last CU soccer player to earn a Big 12 weekly award was Annie Brunner's Newcomer of the Week honor on Nov. 2, 2010.

The Goalkeeper of the Week award started in the 2020 season. Goalkeepers were previously honored as Defensive Player of the Week.

Top 25 teams meet in Stillwater

Colorado (7-1-0, 1-0-0) continues its opening stretch of Big 12 play on the road this week, opening at No. 12 Oklahoma State.

Thursday's match will be just the Buffs' third road match of the season. CU hasn't matched up with the Cowgirls since the 2016 NCAA Tournament in Boulder and hasn't visited Stillwater since the 2010 season.

"I think that we've been on the road a couple of times, and we've been a little battle-tested; we feel good going on the road," head coach Danny Sanchez expressed. "I think we'll be able to adjust to a different environment quickly on Thursday."

The two sides have had similar trajectories to start the season. The Cowgirls, who were picked to finish eighth in the Big 12 preseason poll, have now been ranked in the last five United Soccer Coaches polls, while the Buffs have appeared in the previous four polls.

OSU (8-0-1, 1-0-0) is the last unbeaten team remaining in the Big 12. The Cowgirls have yet to concede a goal in nine matches this season, outscoring opponents 24-0. The Buffs have a +13-goal differential through eight matches.

"Oklahoma State has had a tremendous start to its season," Sanchez continued. "They're well coached and have a lot of depth to their squad. If you look at their matches, they haven't given up a goal, but they haven't given up many opportunities. They've earned the results they've gotten so far. There's a lot of soccer to be played, but it's obviously a key matchup early in conference play. We're going to have to be at the top of our game to get a result."

Colorado's six-match winning streak is tied for the sixth-longest in CU history and is tied for the fifth-longest streak in the NCAA. CU's streak started following its lone loss to then No. 8 North Carolina (Aug. 18).

The Black and Gold are 0-1-0 against top 25 opponents this season. The loss to the Tar Heels was the first of what was supposed to be two matches against ranked opponents in the preseason. CU's game at No. 25 North Carolina State was canceled due to severe weather. OSU opened its season with a win over then No. 9 Nebraska in its lone ranked match of the year.

"I think if you look at their results and our results, they're not drastically different," Sanchez commented. "They've obviously defended very well and been very efficient going forward. On paper, it looks like a pretty even matchup."

Colorado will cap off its three-game Big 12-opening road swing with a visit to Iowa State on Sunday (11 a.m. MT).

Thursday's Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. MT on ESPN+.

As seems to have been the case for the majority of road matches so far this season, weather seems to be playing a role tonight. Hope they can get the match going tonight (and of course everyone stays safe



 
OSU has a properly good football facility. Watched a game there with my daughter's club team a few years ago. Wish Colorado would invest in the women the same way.
 
The Buffs are playing WAY too defensive and OSU gets its 1st with 26 minutes still remaining.
