The Tigers are looking to get back in the win column for the first time in seven matches. The Tigers have been dangerous on home turf this season, entering Thursday with a 2-1-1 record at Stewart Field to start the season. All but one of their eight goals have been scored in home games, with the lone exception being
Chloe Bunton's goal at South Dakota State to help the Tigers to a 1-1 draw with the Jackrabbits.
The junior class has provided all the offense for CC the last two matches, with
Bella Stewart scoring her first two goals as a Tiger, both in the second half vs Kansas State. Last time out, the Tigers' lone goal came on a beautiful direct kick from captain
Finley Schoenbeck that went crossbar and in to give CC the draw against Colorado State.
