BOULDER, Colo. - The University of Colorado women's soccer team dropped a 3-0 decision to Colorado College here today, turning the Buffs' first home game in nearly a month into anything but a sweet homecoming.

"Colorado College is a very good team," Colorado head coach Austin Daniels said, "but we've played good teams a lot this year. We just didn't step up the way we needed to."

The first of Colorado College's three tallies on the day came in just the game's third minute, when Martina Holan followed up a shot by teammate Kasey Clark, put the ball just beyond the reach of diving Colorado keeper Sloane Cox, and gave the Tigers a 1-0 lead.

Colorado's defense then held Colorado College in check for the rest of the first half and well into the second, but the Tigers exploded with two late goals, one on a follow by Haley Miller at 71:30 and the other a second score for Holan in the game's 86th minute.

All told, Colorado College outshot the Buffs 22 to 7 on the day.

"We're not happy with our performance," Daniels said. "We just didn't get enough numbers forward. They are a good team and we have to be able to step it up against good teams. We should have been able to pressure them a bit more and step up the pace of the game."

Next up for Colorado will be a Sunday game at Wyoming, scheduled to kick off at 4 p.m. MDT.
