After losing 3-0 at Oregon last Friday, ASU soccer seek to snap a five-match winless streak at Colorado Thursday as the Sun Devils continue their road trip.

ASU soccer are looking to put an end to a five-match losing streak as they travel to Boulder to take on the Colorado Buffaloes.

Arizona State is coming off a 3-0 loss at Oregon last week in which the Ducks were the better team on the pitch.

ASU appeared to come out a bit sluggish and Oregon pressured Arizona State all afternoon as the Ducks scored a goal in the third minute after defender Madison Stark got the ball taken away in the box and the Ducks stole it, shooting a shot off the post as it rolled it front of the goal line, with Marissa Everett tapping it in.

Everett would finish the afternoon with two goals scoring her second in the 26th minute with Oregon tallying the third and final goal of the match from Miranda Schulz in the 74th minute.

Midfielder Christina Edwards had the best performance for the Sun Devils getting in good positions to receive passes as she finished with three shots and two on goal, and was probably a bit unlucky not to have scored.

The Sun Devils continue their three-match road trip with a pair games versus the Mountain schools starting Thursday versus Colorado, who have also struggled in Pac-12 play.

The Buffaloes sit at 7-5-3 and with an identical Pac-12 record as ASU (1-4-1) with the most recent match resulting in a 2-0 defeat at No. 6 USC last Friday.

Freshman forward Marty Puketapu and midfielder Taylor Kornieck lead the team with five goals a piece with senior midfielder Becca Rasmussen leading the team in assists with five.

Colorado have scored 21 goals in 15 matches this season which is good for fifth in the Pac-12, and ASU will need a better effort from their defense.

Fortunately for Arizona State, defender Angela Boyle returns from her one-match suspension and should improve the Sun Devils backline tremendously as she has been one of the most consistent players on the team.

The Sun Devils will also look to score goals away from home as six of their 15 goals scored this season have come away from Sun Devil Soccer Stadium.
