The Colorado College women's soccer team returns home to attempt to go 4-0 at Stewart Field to start the season. The Tigers struggled on the road in the last week, dropping games against Denver and Southern Utah, but CC looks to change the tides against the Gauchos on Sunday, Sept. 5
 
Last Time Out
 
CC dropped its recent outing in the desert of Utah against Southern Utah University. The Thunderbirds won 2-0 in their first win of the season. The Tigers appeared to come out of the gates firing, putting up multiple shots, including one on the net. 
 
The match went into halftime tied at 0-0, but the Thunderbirds struck first in the 52nd minute and scored again in the 57th minute. CC tried to come back, putting up two second-half shots, but couldn't find the back of the net. 
 
Notable Performances: 

• #19 Tyler Rose - Led the team with two shots (one on goal) and played 64 minutes. Rose has eight shots this year, tied for fourth place on the team. 
• # 7 Kendall Memoly - She played 80 minutes against SUU after playing a full 90 against Denver on Sunday. Dished out a shot as well. 

Sweet Sweet Stewart
 
The Tigers are a perfect 3-0 at home to start the season and look to go for four straight wins in Colorado Springs since 2019 when CC won six of its first seven games. 
 
CC started the home schedule with a 1-0 victory over the 2023 Summit League Tournament champion, South Dakota State. Then, the Tigers followed it up with impressive victories over two in-state foes: Northern Colorado (1-0) and UCCS (4-1). 
 
At Stewart, CC has outscored their opponents 7-1 and outshot opponents on net 29-1. 
 
Streak of Tigers
 
CC enjoyed its first three-game winning streak since the 2019 season with wins over South Dakota State, Northern Colorado, and UCCS. During the run, the Tigers outscored their opponents 7-1 and outshot opposing teams on goal 21-9. 
 
Freshman Finley Schoenbeck and junior Kylie Smith currently lead the Tigers with five points (2g, 1a) each. Five Tigers have two or more points through the first six games. 
Senior Kaelin Enga had one of the more impressive singular performances this season with a goal and two assists against UCCS on Aug. 28. It was a career-high for the Colorado Springs native and stands as the only multi-assist game for any CC player this season. 
 
Enga's multi-assist game was the first for a Tiger since CC legend Jacqui Hand had two assists on Oct. 14, 2021, against Boise State. 
 
Scouting the Opposition
 
UC Santa Barbara enters Sunday with a 1-1-4 record after winning their first game against San Jose State on Sept. 1. The Spartans have tied four of their last five games, including their most recent 0-0 draw with New Mexico on Thursday, Sept. 5. 
 
Goalkeeper Maddie Buckley has been one of the best keepers in the nation to start the year. She has already tied her season save total from a year ago. Against New Mexico, she tied her single-game high in saves with five and has not allowed a goal in 445:47. 
 
Two players, Liu O'Callaghan and Devin Greer, shared the scoring against San Jose State. Greer had two goals and currently leads the team with two. 
 
UCSB has four straight shutouts. Buckley ranks fifth in the nation after being in the net for all four. 
 
Up Next
 
The Tigers have one more non-conference game before opening up Mountain West play on Sept. 26 against Wyoming. The University of Buffalo comes to Stewart Field on Thursday, Sept. 12, at 6 p.m. MT. 
 
Buffalo is 3-0-1 with victories over No. 7 Pittsburg, St. Bonaventure and Canisius.
