BOULDER—The No. 20 Colorado women's soccer team returns to Prentup Field for its first Pac-12 home matches of the season.
Colorado faces its toughest task to date on Thursday, playing host to No. 7 Washington State. The Buffs will conclude the weekend on Sunday against Washington.
Thursday will be the battle of the unbeaten. Colorado (9-0-3, 1-0-2) and Washington State (10-0, 3-0) are two of the NCAA's five remaining unbeaten teams. The Buffs picked up two draws at Arizona State and Arizona last week, continuing their streak. The Cougars defeated Oregon State and Oregon in Pullman.
"If you told us at the start of the season that we would be 9-0-3 I do not think there is anybody that would not take that," head coach Danny Sanchez explained. "We also know we need to get bigger results. Some of the teams we played earlier have not helped us as far as their wins and losses, which is fine. The great thing about playing in the Pac-12 is we have all these great RPI games coming up."
Of the five unbeaten teams, Washington State is the only one to have not played to a draw this season.
"They are on a roll," Sanchez added. "They are playing very well. They have a lot of very good results, including a win at UCLA. We look at it as a great opportunity against a very good team at home. A match like this, with two top-25 teams at home, does not happen very often."
WSU is led by Morgan Weaver and her six goals on the season. She also leads the team with 14 points. Maddy Haro is tied with Taylor Kornieck for second in the nation with nine assists. WSU's Maegan O'Neill is also the Pac-12's reigning Defensive Player of the Week.
...
Washington enters the week on a two-match winning streak. The Huskies scored a pair of 1-0 wins against Oregon State and Oregon. The Huskies (7-3-1, 2-1-0) have not given up a goal in almost 200 minutes of play.
Watch: Tune into the Pac-12 Plus on Facebook live to catch Thursday's game against WSU (3:30 p.m.). The game will also be streamed on Pac-12.com/live/cubuffs. Sunday's game against UW (1 p.m.) will be televised across the Pac-12 Networks.
In the Stats: Colorado continues to be the top-scoring team in the Pac-12 this season. The Buffs rank fourth in the NCAA, averaging 2.83 goals per game. Washington State is fifth in the conference (2.30) and Washington ranks seventh (1.64).
The Buffs added two more assists on the season last week. They continue to lead the NCAA, adding to their school record with 40 on the season.
Colorado (.39) and Washington State (.50) are second and third in the conference in goals-against average. The Huskies are eighth with a .87.
Promotions: Thursday's game against Washington State is Donation Day. Fans can bring lightly used athletic equipment to donate for free admission to the game.
Sunday is the annual Soctoberfest game. The first 250 fans will receive a ticket for CU soccer pint glass that can be redeemed after the game. It is also the team's Alumni weekend. Players from the past 22 seasons will be recognized at halftime. Ralphie will also run prior to the game. She will be at Prentup Field one hour prior to the game.
