The SOCCER team (6-4-1, 1-1-1) should have fun the next few days as they have probably their most challenging pair of matches of the season this weekend as they head off to La La Land to face off against #11 USC (8-2-0, 3-0-0) tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon, followed up with a Sunday matinee against #3 UCLA (10-0-1, 2-0-1).
Both matches are scheduled to be shown on the Pac 12 Networks.
Go Buffs!

LOS ANGELES—Colorado soccer takes to the road this for a pair of matches in the City of Angeles. The Buffaloes will open with No. 11 Southern California (5 p.m. MT) and then face No. 3 UCLA (1 p.m. MT). Both matches will be on the Pac-12 Networks.
CU (6-4-1, 1-1-1 Pac-12) split last weekend, earning a Thursday win against Washington before dropping the weekend finale to Washington State on Sunday. The split gave the Buffs four points through the first three Pac-12 matches of the season. Colorado currently is situated in the middle of the pack with plenty of soccer left to play.
"The great thing with the Pac-12 is it always gives you more opportunities to get results," head coach Danny Sanchez explained. "We're excited to get out there [Los Angeles]."
...
"I think the pressure might have gotten to us a little bit on Sunday," Sanchez noted. "I think that these are games that we have nothing to lose and everything to gain. We're going to go into it loose and excited."
Part of that excitement is the fact that this weekend will feel like home to many of the Buffs. CU has 13 players from California, many of whom are within driving distance to LA.
