No. 16 Colorado Mines 4, CSU-Pueblo 2
The CSU-Pueblo Men's Soccer team couldn't overcome the tough
physical play of the #16 Colorado Mines, losing 4-2 in Golden,
Colo. on Sunday.
The Pack fell behind early on a foul that resulted in a penalty
kick for Mines in the 11th minute, giving them the lead, luckily it
would not stay that way for long. The Pack then got on the
scoreboard in the 17th minute when Corey Cullen
(So., Fort Collins, Colo.) served the
ball a short distance inside toErik Andersen
(Sr., Phoenix, Ariz.) tying the game at
one apiece early on.
"The opportunities were there, I feel we played very
well in the first half in staying right with them," said
head coach Roy Stanley.
A goal right before halftime gave the home team Mines the lead
2-1.
The second half started out just how the T-Wolves wanted, when
in the 48th minute Andersen scored for his 10th goal of the year on
a beautiful feed by Robert Kinsey
(rSo., Denver, Colo.) to knot the game at
two. The game then went sour on the Pack when Colorado Mines
connected with a goal shortly after, giving the home team the lead
in which they would not surrender.
The Pack will return home for their final homestand of the
season when they play host to Mesa State and Fort Lewis on Friday
and Sunday, respectively.
