Colorado College begins a four-game home stand, its longest of the 2015 campaign, with a pair of games at Stewart Field this week. The Tigers play host to Colorado State University on Friday, Oct. 2, at 3 p.m., then the University of Wyoming on Sunday at 2 p.m.
CC renews its commitment to community service on an international level when the Tigers hold their annual Soccer Without Borders Day in conjunction with Sunday's game against the Cowgirls. Colorado College has been involved with Soccer Without Borders since 2007, with more than 20 current and former Tigers and coaches making trips to Uganda, Nicaragua and Guatemala.
The Tigers improved to 4-6-1 overall and 2-0-0 in the Mountain West with a pair of victories on the road last week. The Tigers defeated the University of Nevada, 1-0, in their conference opener on Friday, and then hit the jackpot with a 2-1 victory at UNLV on Sunday. Colorado College is 2-5 at home this season.
CSU is 3-6-2 overall and 0-1-1 in conference play after tying Fresno State, 2-2, and falling to San Jose State University, 2-0, last week. The Rams are 2-3-0 on the road this season.
Wyoming is 5-2-3 overall and 1-1-0 in the league after splitting its first MW contests at home last week. The Cowgirls dropped a 1-0 overtime decision to San Jose State on Friday, but bounced back to defeat Fresno State, 3-0, on Sunday. Wyoming, which plays at Air Force on Friday, is 0-1-3 on the road this year.
Colorado College defeated Colorado State, 3-2, last year in Fort Collins in the first meeting as Division I rivals. CC owns a 7-1-0 all-time record against Wyoming, which includes a perfect 2-0-0 mark at home. The Tigers look to avenge a last year's 3-2 overtime loss in Laramie.
