The Colorado College Tigers remain on the road for the second straight weekend on Friday and Sunday with matches against Carroll University and UW-Eau Claire, respectively.
The Tigers endured their first loss of the season last Friday after starting a perfect 2-0 at home the first weekend of September. Cal Lutheran got the better of the Tigers 3-1 in their first match away from Colorado Springs but were able to bounce back and beat Redlands 2-1. Coming from behind, the Tigers netted two second half goals from
Arlo Sollinger and
Teddy Opler to return with a weekend split in California.
