Team closes three-game road swing to open season


FORT COLLINS, Colo.- Colorado State hits the road for one match this week before returning for their home opener the first Sunday of September.
 
After splitting the first two games of the season on the road, the Rams (1-1) head to Vermillion, S.D., to take on the Coyotes (0-2) for the second time in program history.
 
Thursday's match is the final of three road matches to start the season for the Rams with the home opener scheduled for Sunday, September 4th.

"It's been a good test for our team with these three road games," said head coach Keeley Hagen. "With another tough opponent at South Dakota coming up, I am looking forward to seeing this team continue to grow and develop."
 
Colorado State and South Dakota battled to a scoreless draw in the 2021 home opener. The Rams will look to get the offense rolling on Thursday, the same offense that generated two goals in their season-opening win against Utah Tech that included a strike from Liv Layton and a game-winning goal from sophomore midfielder Ali Yoshida in the final minutes. Kenady Leighton and Izzy Wildermuth have also been credited with assists.
 
The Rams have generated seven shots on goal, tied for fifth most in the Mountain West.
 
In net, Emille Gavilet has started both matches, notching eight saves with a 2.00 GAA. She is one of six players on roster who have played all 180 minutes, the others being Leighton, Wildermuth, Kaitlyn Abrams, Taylor Bee and Sarah Hogenkamp.
 
The Coyotes have struggled to find the back of the net so far in their two matchups scoring once in five shots on goal.
