Box Score Colorado College dropped a 1-0 decision to the University of Mexico on a blustery Friday afternoon at Stewart Field.
With intermittent rain making for slick conditions, Claire Lynch scored the only goal of the contest on a ball that squirted through the hands of sophomore goalkeeper
Louisa Mackenzie near the end of the 17th minute.
Mackenzie evened the count with Lynch a little less than five minutes later when she made a diving save at the right post on the sophomore midfielder's penalty kick.
Unfortunately, the Tigers were unable to level the score.
Senior goalkeeper Cassie Ulrich stopped all three shots CC put on frame.
Ulrich's best save occurred in the seventh minute when she denied freshman midfielder
Clara Richter's shot with a diving stop toward the right post.
The Tigers also had a chance to get on the board 14:41 into the first half, but senior midfielder
Sarah Schweiss but a bending direct kick just over the top left corner.
Schweiss had another chance midway through the second half when she worked her way through a trio of defenders, but her shot from just inside the top of the box went over the crossbar on the right side. Â
New Mexico compiled a 16-7 advantage in total shots and a 5-1 margin in corner kicks.
Mackenzie finished with seven saves for the Tigers, who slipped to 7-10-1 overall and 5-4-0 in the Mountain West.
The Lobos improved to 8-7-1 overall and 6-2-1 in league play.
