Postgame Coverage:
NevadaWolfPack.com The University of Nevada soccer team begins its final weekend road trip this Friday with a Mountain West match at Boise State. The Wolf Pack is looking to snap a five-game losing streak and pick up its second conference win of the season. Nevada, eliminated from conference tournament play, can spoil the playoff hopes of the Broncos with a victory.
In 15 previous meetings, Boise State has dominated the all-time series with 12 wins. Since Coach Price took over the program in 2010, the Pack is 1-3-0 against the Broncos with its win coming in the 2012 Mountain West tournament.
NEVADA LAST TIME OUT...
The University of Nevada soccer team dropped a 3-0 Mountain West contest Sunday afternoon to affiliate member Colorado College.
The Tigers (9-4-3, 5-2-1 MW) were held off of the scoreboard in the opening half, but scored three times in the second half to shutout the Wolf Pack (4-12-1, 1-7-0 MW). Colorado College outshot the Pack 8-1 in the first 45 minutes but only registered one shot on goal, which was stopped by Nevada goalkeeper
Devyn Bryar.
In the 63rd minute, the Tigers registered their first score of the match when Chanisse Hendrix rifled a shot from 16 yards out off a free kick. Ten minutes later, CC's Alexis Long finished off a pass from a corner kick to increase the lead to two goals. The Tigers got the final insurance marker in the 79th minute off another free kick opportunity as Rachel Herron scored from 35 yards out.
Colorado College outshot the Pack by a 23-3 margin in the contest and held a 5-3 advantage in corner kicks. Bryar was tested more in the second half, adding to her conference-leading save total with six stops.
