BOULDER – Head coach Danny Sanchez and the Colorado soccer team are set to close the regular season with three consecutive road matches. The stretch starts on Halloween night when the Buffaloes take on the No. 21 Washington Huskies, before heading to Washington State on Sunday.
Colorado (10-5-2, 2-4-2) wrapped up its home schedule with a 1-1 draw against California in the snow last Sunday. Senior Taylor Kornieck recorded her 10th goal of the season on Senior Day. She now has 25 points this season, adding to her CU record with 97.
"Taylor scored a great goal in the first 15 minutes," Sanchez recalled. "For the most part, I thought we played well in the first half. I thought we dropped a little too much at the start of the second half. Cal scored a very good goal. It could have been a negative turning point for us, but I liked how we bounced back."
Points have been hard to come by for the Buffs of late. The Silver and Gold is currently positioned in a tie for eighth in the Pac-12 with Oregon State with eight points. Colorado has mustered just three points in its last six matches. That recent stretch has featured games at No. 22 UCLA, No. 4 Southern California and No. 2 Stanford at home.
The road does not get any easier for the Buffs. Washington (10-4-2, 6-2) cracked the top-25 for the first time this week, following 2-0 win at No. 7 Southern Cal last week. Washington State (10-5-1, 3-4-1) spent the last nine weeks in the top-25 before dropping out this week.
"Washington is having a great season," Sanchez explained. "They are coming off a nice win over USC over the weekend. Their hall of fame coach, Lesle Gallimore, is retiring so I think they are playing with a little extra oomph. It's a great opportunity for us. They are a great RPI game. There will be no Trick-or-Treating, no candy, no costumes. We aren't going to have a Halloween practice. It is serious for us."
The Buffs swept the Washington schools last season. The week started with CU's 3-1 win over then No. 7 WSU. Kornieck scored the game's first goal in the 2nd minute and the Buffs added another in the 12th. A late goal from Megan Massey helped secure the win. The Buffs needed overtime to beat Washington last season. Jorian Baucom scored in the 104th minute, pushing Colorado to the 2-1 win.
Thursday's match will kick off at 8 p.m. MT and will be broadcast on the Pac-12 Networks. Sunday will be at 1 p.m. MT and will be streamed online.
