Cougs Come Up Short Against Colorado

Goals in each half proved too much to overcome for the Cougs.

In Case You Missed It
... The Match In 140 Words Or Less
PULLMAN, Wash. –  A pair of goals in each halves proved to be too much for the Washington State (5-3-2, 0-2-0 Pac-12) to overcome against Colorado (7-2-2, 1-1-0 Pac-12) as the Buffaloes escaped Lower Soccer Field with a 2-0 victory Thursday night. Despite dominance early on, the Cougs could not crack the Buffs' defense as WSU fired off a string of shots only to see them sent away. On the other end, Colorado capitalized on its first chance of the game, netting what would be the game-winning goal in the 30' when Marty Puketapu slotted home a rebound. While trying to play from behind, the Cougs would see the lead pushed to two goals in the 52' when a miss played trap trickled into their own net sending WSU scrambling for the remainder of the night.
