In a tightly contested soccer game, every inch counts. If the ball sails an inch too high or a few inches too wide, that could be the difference between winning or losing the game. On Friday afternoon, despite a strong offensive effort, the University of Colorado soccer team couldn’t quite catch a break and settled for a 0-0 double overtime draw against the Arizona Wildcats at Prentup Field.
The game carried a great deal of weight in terms of both Pac-12 and NCAA postseason aspirations for the Buffs. Entering the game, Arizona held a narrow lead in the Pac-12 standings sitting at seventh place at 3-4-1, just ahead of CU’s 3-4 record.
