COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — An early 3-0 deficit was too much to overcome for the South Dakota soccer team in a 4-1 loss to Colorado College Friday night.
 
Colorado College (2-3-0) scored the first goal of the game in the 10^th minute with Lucia Costanza finding Lauren Milliet who then fired a shot through traffic and into the net. In the 30^th minute, Milliet struck again, grabbing a rebound off a blocked shot and knocking it into the net.
 
The Tigers went up 3-0 with Clara Richter finding the back of the goal just two minutes later.
 
South Dakota (2-5-0) broke up the shutout on a quick restart on a free kick. Cooper Thau lined the ball up from 30 yards out and found Zoe Anderson completely open at the top of the 18-yard box. Anderson received the pass, took two dribbles and fired her shot through the goalkeeper's hands and into the center of the net.
