Junior defender Alexa Porter struck for her first career goal as the Colorado College women's soccer team capped its 2021 season with a 1-0 victory over Air Force on Thursday night at Stewart Field.

Porter curled a direct kick from 45 yards out on the left inside the far post to give the Tigers the only goal they would need 65 seconds into the second half.

The CC defense took care of the rest, allowing just seven total shots while posting its second consecutive clean sheet.

Goalkeeper Taryn Benham finished with a pair of saves and lowered her season goals-against average to 1.19 and raised her saves percentage to .672.

The Falcon's best scoring opportunity was a header by Kayla Milford that flew over the crossbar in the 38th minute

Colorado College finished with a 15-7 advantage in total shots and a 5-1 edge in corner kicks.

The Tigers posted a 3-1-2 record in its last six games, climbed into a tie for sixth place in the Mountain West table with a 4-4-3 record and were only two points out of third place.

CC tied or defeated four of the six teams that advanced to the conference championship.
