Women's Soccer Concludes Road Trip in Minnesota on Sunday

The Colorado College Tigers wrap up a five-game road trip on Sunday when they take on the Minnesota Golden Gophers in the Twin Cities. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 pm Central (12 pm Mountain) and all the action will be streamed live on Big Ten Network.

The Tigers are looking to get back in the win column for the first time in four matches. The team has sits at an even .500 heading into action on Sunday, with results coming in twos, having won their first two matches, losing their first two on the road, then drawing their last two matches in Denver and South Dakota.

The freshman impact has been evident for the Tigers through six matches, as Ella Ashouri (3) continues to lead the squad in goals after a fast start to her season, with Chloe Bunton scoring her first collegiate goal vs South Dakota State on Thursday in Brookings. Kate Pulley (sophomore, forward) has the remaining goal for the Tigers this fall, as no upperclassmen have found paydirt to date.

ABOUT MINNESOTA 
The Gophers have six goalscorers on the season, with three players (Ava Westlund, Davy Mokelke, and Katie Krohn) tied for the team lead with two goals apiece. Westlund poses the most consistent threat upfront for Minnesota as she has a team high 17 shots this year, eight more than the next most on the roster. Westlund's ten attempts on frame are also tops on the team, as she has netted the team's lone penalty of the season. Though Minnesota has a high volume of shots, only approximately one of every ten attempt is on goal as they sit at a .093 shot percentage. The Gophers are a physical team, sporting a +15 goal-differential so far on the year (49-34). Though they are frequently whistled, they stay on the right side of the line, as they have only been booked for three cautions, five less than their opponents (8). Sarah Martin is the expected starter between the sticks for Minnesota, having started all five games for the Gophers, playing 441:36 and making 13 saves while allowing only four goals (.765 save percentage).
