Fort Collins, Colo. (SMU) – Women's Soccer fell, 1-0, on the road to Colorado State on Sunday in the final non-conference game of the regular season.

Neither team could find a goal in the first half though the Mustangs outshot the Rams, 6-4. After a change in goal to begin the second half the game stayed scoreless until a foul on the Mustangs inside the goal area was called in the 73rd minute.

Colorado State senior Beth Plentl got the nod to take the Ram PK and was able to push one past Samantha Estrada. The one-goal deficit was just the second time the Mustangs have trailed in the entire eight game season.

SMU generated many chances in the final 17' looking for the game-tying goal including hitting a crossbar and having couple chances saved by CSU keeper. The Mustangs were unable to get the equalizer and dropped their second game of the season, both coming in 1-0 road contests.

The Mustangs took more shots, 15-10, and generated more corners (7-4) in the game. SMU now sits at 5-2-1 on the season and the Rams improve to 3-3-2.

Next up, the Mustangs begin American Athletic Conference play with a pair of home games at Westcott Field. Temple begins SMU's with a 7 p.m. contest on Thursday followed by UConnĀ on Sunday.
