Vidger Named CU Female Athlete Of The Week

BOULDER—Sophomore Alex Vidger had quite the week for the University of Colorado women's soccer team, helping the team get off to a 2-0 start, leading the Buffs to two convincing victories in the Colorado Cup on the way to earning CU Female Athlete of the Week honors for the previous week.

Vidger, a defender for the Buffs, scored her first career goal as a Buff against Air Force on Friday to help seal the deal in a 2-0 victory against the Falcons. She hasn't missed anytime so far in the first two games, already logging 180 minutes on a CU backline that has dominated so far this season.

With Vidger's key contributions to the defense, CU has only allowed nine total shot attempts, six of which have been on goal to give the Buffs a 0.50 GAA, in the two matches played so far. The Buffs have only allowed one goal in those first two games, and Vidger so far has been a center piece in CU's solid defense so far this season.

Vidger and the Buffs women's soccer team go on the road this weekend, first traveling to Kansas on Friday Aug. 26, and then they head to Missouri on Sunday Aug. 28 to wrap up a tough early season road trip.
