The Colorado College Tigers return home from a five-game road trip on Sunday when they take on the Kansas State Wildcats. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 pm Mountain and all the action will be streamed live on MW+.
The Tigers are looking to get back in the win column for the first time in five matches. The team is coming off the longest road trip of the season, which saw them go 0-3-2 with draws at Denver and South Dakota State, and losses at UTSA, Oklahoma, and Minnesota.
The freshmen are still leading the offense for the Tigers, as
Ella Ashouri holds the lead in goals at 3, with
Chloe Bunton also having a strike, leaving
Kate Pulley (So.) as the last goal scorer on the roster. No upper classman have found the net to date, though
Charlotte Strabel, Dayliegh Bos, Natalie Cassamajor, and
Kendall Memoly all have helpers.
