The Colorado College women's soccer team fell 3-2 to UC San Diego on Thursday night at Stewart Field. In a back-and-forth electric second half, a 70th-minute goal by the Tritons elevated them over the Tigers. 
 
Sophomore Jessica Anderson and first-year Sophia Mayne put the Tigers in front 2-1 with a pair of first-career goals less than two minutes from each other, but the Tritons scored two of their own in response shortly after. 
 
Forward Finley Schoenbeck led the team with two shots, one SOG and an assist. It's the first point of the season for the Texas native. 
 
"Huge momentum shifts in this game," head coach Keri Sanchez said. "UC San Diego came out really strong. We finally got a run of play later in the game. It was a pretty evenly matched game, just a bummer we couldn't pull it out in the end." 
 
CC (2-2-2) fell behind 1-0 after 56 scoreless minutes. However, Anderson scored her first career goal in the 57th minute, just 69 seconds later to knot the game up at one. The ball bounced loose in the UC San Diego box and away from the goalkeeper before Anderson launched her goal into the back of the net. 
 
Fast forward five minutes, and Sophia Mayne made a fantastic move to split a pair of Triton defenders. She lifted the ball in the air to herself using her right foot and then fired a top-shelf shot past the goalkeeper with her left foot. 
 
Mayne's goal gave CC a 2-1 lead, but only for 90 seconds as UC San Diego knotted the score at 2-2 in the 63rd minute after Alexis Nguyen scored her fist goal of the season. Seven minutes later, Andrea Gullen was in the right place at the right time, scoring the go-ahead goal after the ball bounced around the CC box despite some saves from the Tiger defense. 
 
CC tried to tie the game again in the final 20 minutes, but the scoring fireworks subsided and the Tritons held on for the 3-2 victory. 
 
"We just got a little bit lazy at the wrong moments," Sanchez said. "Playing together is really important, and we gotta cover each other. I think today people got a little bit more isolated and we are exposed in those spots. Now that teams are seeing more video of us, we gotta do a better job of stepping up and playing our game." 

The Tigers will travel north to Greeley, Colo., to take on the University of Northern Colorado on Sunday, Sept. 7 at 1 p.m.
