Colorado State to face Montana, Idaho State
FORT COLLINS - Colorado State heads to the Midwest to face off against familiar nonconference opponents in the fourth week of the season. The Rams will play Montana on Thursday at 5 p.m., before heading to Pocatello, Idaho to play Idaho State at 12 p.m., on Sunday.
The Rams will look for their first win against Montana, which will be the third meeting between the Grizzlies (5-0-1) and the Rams. Montana won 2-0 in 2014; last year, neither team found the back of the net finishing in a scoreless tie in Fort Collins.
Colorado State has played Idaho State (0-6) once in its 10 year history, a match which ended in a 6-0 win for the Rams. The win marked Keeley Hagen's first victory as head coach for Colorado State. The Rams will visit Pocatello for the first time on Sunday
The squad is off to the best start in program history, sporting a 3-0-1 record. Colorado State has scored at least once in every match this season and is currently on a three-match shutout streak.Â
"We are proud of this group dating back to early spring and the commitment they have put in up until now," said Hagen, "We talk a lot about what commitment looks like and what we are striving towards…winning championships."Â
The Rams have limited their opponents to 34 shots through four matches while only allowing one goal on the year. Junior goalkeeper Shayna Ross, who has started every match this season, has made eight saves and holds an .889 save percentage.Â
Colorado State has received goal support from three separate players after freshman Mia Casey tallied her first career collegiate goal last week against Missouri-Kansas City. She joined Katy Coffin and Olivia Fout as the only goal scorers for the Rams through three weeks.
"They know this is the expectation for the program and we are just getting started. We still have a lot to improve and we are looking forward to them putting in the hard work every day," says Hagen. Â
