Jacqui Hand scored her third goal of the season and
Greta Forseth had three saves as the Colorado College women's soccer team tied Utah State, 1-1, Friday night at Stewart Field.
Â
The Tigers played to a 1-1 draw for the second consecutive game and posted a 1-0-1 record against the Aggies, including a 2-1 overtime victory in Logan, Utah, on March 21.
Â
"This one hurts," head coach
Geoff Bennett said. "We wanted three points and unfortunately had to settle for one, but there are tons of bright spots."
Â
Utah State's Kami Warner opened the scoring in the 14th minute. She stole the ball from a CC player and scored from 22 yards out over the outstretched arms of Forseth.
Â
The Tigers responded later in the first half when Hand scored in the 27th minute.
Camille Weaver's free kick from midfield took a high bounce and Hand headed the ball over Utah State keeper Diera Walton.
Â
Colorado College held an 8-3 advantage in total shots and 4-1 in shots on goal in the first 45 minutes.
Â
Forseth made her first save of the night a big one, kicking away an attempt by Warner, who had an open look from the top of the box. Each team mustered just one attempt the rest of regulation.
Â
The Tigers kept possession of the ball for the majority of the first overtime, but the only shot on goal came from Utah State's Taylor Garza-Freeman with two minutes remaining in the frame.
Â
Forseth made her best save of the night with five minutes left in the second overtime, barely getting a hand on a blast from Marli Niederhauser that was heading for the upper right corner. Forseth is now 2-0-2 this season.
Â
The Tigers outshot Utah State, 19-8, in total shots and 5-4 in shots on goal.
                                                Â
"We generated 19 shots and nine corners tonight," Bennett said. "We are right there, I am just waiting for all the pieces to come crashing together. Hopefully that comes Sunday against a very good New Mexico team."
