Cougar women fall to CU White in tourney

BOULDER, Colo. – The Western Nebraska Community College women’s soccer team couldn’t find the back of the net in the first day of the CU-Boulder soccer tournament Friday in Boulder, Colo.

The Cougars fell 1-0 to the University of Colorado White team in a game that WNCC coach Todd Rasnic said his team was unlucky in scoring goals.

Both teams went scoreless in the first half. CU finally cracked the back of the net off a corner kick on a shot that Rasnic described as pure luck.

Rasnic said his team outshot the CU team, but couldn’t get the equalizer to go into the net.

“We had a couple balls hit off the cross bar and we had a couple of good shots in front of the net, but we couldn’t get anything to go in.”

The Cougars will try to rebound Saturday at 9:45 a.m. when they face the Colorado State University Green team. If they win that contest, they will more than likely play later that day in the top 12 tournament. A loss will send the team into a contest on Sunday.
