Soccer Falls To UTEP


 Northern Colorado soccer fell 3-1 to the UTEP Miners today in the Bears final match at the UTEP Border Shootout. This moves the Bears to 5-5-0 on the season.

UTEP struck first deep into the first half with a goal from Chelsea Winbush in the 33rd minute to put the game at 1-0. Only six minutes later the Miners scored again, this time from Courtney Casey off of an assist from Winbush to get the game winning goal.

Right before the end of the first half senior Jessica Zimmerman put up Northern Colorado's only goal of the game. Zimmerman went one on one with the goalkeeper, who came off the line to attempt the save. Zimmerman then tapped in the unassisted goal at 44:55.

The final goal for the Miners came in the 55th minute when Brandi Aston received the double assist from Melissa Desilets and Casey to get the shot past freshman goalkeeper Kirsten Salminen.

The Bears will now move on to face UNLV on Sept. 25 and Southern Utah on Sept. 27.
