Riding a three-game winning streak, the University of Colorado women’s soccer team earned an impressive upset win against the 24th ranked University of Texas Longhorns on Sunday.
Both teams showcased excellent defense to start the match with the two only attempting one shot each during the first 17 minutes. Colorado’s attempt came from senior midfielder Taylor Kornieck, whose shot flew over the net.
As the first half progressed, shots continued to remain rare. The Buffs best opportunity came at the 42:36 mark when sophomore forward Libby Geraghty got a clean look on goal during a fast break, but couldn’t capitalize due to an impressive save by Texas’ junior goalie Savannah Madden.
