On Thursday, the University of Colorado Soccer team returned to Prentup Field to play the University of Washington, looking to avenge last week’s heartbreak of a draw that saw the Buffs spoil a 2-0 halftime lead against the California Golden Bears. After exchanging first-half goals with the Huskies, the Buffs took the lead for good on a Shanade Hopcroft penalty kick in the 31st minute. Colorado (6-3-1) never looked back as they held off Washington’s (2-5-2) second-half attack to secure a 2-1 win.
“We have to take care of business at home,” said head coach Danny Sanchez.
