PROVO – The No. 25 Colorado soccer team played to a 2-2 tie with the No. 9 BYU Cougars in hot and dry conditions at South Field Monday afternoon.
The Buffaloes found themselves down 1–0 and 2-1 and fought back to earn their first-ever result in Provo and keep their early unbeaten record intact.
“You can see why BYU rarely drops points at home,” explained Colorado head coach Danny Sanchez. “They threw everything at us. But I was really proud of how we responded twice after going down a goal. I think it says a lot about the character of the group and it’s a good result on the road and hopefully gives us more momentum as we get more into the season.”
Junior forward Shyra James had the final equalizer in the 81st minute to make the score 2-2 as she secured her fifth goal of the year. The goal also extends James’ scoring streak to eight games dating back to the 2021 season.
“The streak is on my mind every game day,” said James after the match. “After I scored, I just yelled, ‘eight games, eight games!’ It’s always on my mind and it’s always a goal to keep the streak going.”
Sophomore midfielder Jenny Beyer also got on the score sheet for the Buffs when she curled in a right-footed shot directly off a corner kick into the near post and past Cougar goalkeeper Savanna Mason for her second goal of the 2022 season.
