The Tigers defeated the University of Wyoming Cowgirls 2-1 on Sept. 26 with first-half goals by Kendall Memoly ‘27 and Brett Tsamasfryos ‘25. Tsamasfryos became the first Tiger to hit a three-game score streak since 2015. She now leads the team with five season goals, Memoly following behind with three. The Rams scored the only goal on Sept. 29 and defeated Colorado College for the first time at home this season, finishing the game 0-1.

The Tigers, now undefeated in conference play, returned this year with a majority of players from last year’s roster, including Carolyn Dormady ‘26 and Annie Steger ‘25.
In Friday’s offensive-heavy game, Steger tallied 37 assists against McMurry and 25 more the following day. Her efforts earned her recognition as conference setter of the week. Teammate Dormady received the SCAC Offensive Player of the Week award after posting 32 kills in the weekend’s games.

Cutthroat Rugby: Women’s Cutthroat rugby lost 35-41 to the University of Northern Colorado on Saturday. The forward-heavy game allowed experienced and new forwards to take possession of the ball, but UNC ultimately took the lead when CC’s defense slipped.
“They got a little tricky, and our defensive kind of fell apart,” said Caroline Cullinane ‘27.
Their next game is this Sunday Oct. 6 at the Colorado School of Mines.
