Colorado College opened its season with a 2-0 defeat at the hands of UTSA, a result that dropped the Tigers’ record to 2‑1‑0 while the Roadrunners improved to 1‑0‑2. The match, played under bright August skies, set the tone for a competitive campaign ahead.
Early Momentum for the Roadrunners
The breakthrough came in the 12th minute when forward Ava Jackson slipped past a saved attempt by Brooklyn Bailey and tucked the ball into the net, giving UTSA a 1‑0 lead. The goal was initially nullified after a foul challenge, but the call was overturned, allowing the tally to stand.
Goalkeeper Regan Wallace was a wall in the first half, denying shots from Olivia Christodoulides and Kacey Grahmann with a series of sharp saves that kept the Tigers at bay.
Second‑Half Strike
UTSA doubled its advantage in the 56th minute when Sadie Paul converted a cross into the net, extending the lead to 2‑0. The goal capped a period of sustained pressure that left Colorado College scrambling for chances.
Despite generating six shot attempts, the Tigers managed only one on target. Dayleigh Bos’ effort was denied by Kylie Kissee in the 81st minute, and subsequent tries from Ella Ashouri and Lily Smith fell short.
The match concluded with Colorado College’s defense showing flashes of resilience, but the early goals proved decisive. The team now turns its attention to a road test against Oklahoma on August 23 at noon CT in Norman.
