DURANGO, Colo. – Skyhawks women's soccer is back on Dirks Field this week to host No. 22 Colorado Mesa University on Friday, followed by a noon match on Sunday against Westminster University.

Last Time Out
Skyhawks women's soccer faced a heartbreaking road trip last week with a pair of 1-0 losses to No. 13 UCCS and No. 9 Colorado School of Mines. In the loss to the Mountain Lions, The Skyhawks held a 12-6 advantage in shots for the match while the teams were even with four shots on goal apiece. There were just four corner kicks in the match, and the teams combined for 16 fouls and three yellow cards.

Seven individuals played full-time for Fort Lewis compared to six for UCCS. Senior Rozlin Gomez led the team with three shots, one of which was on target. Juniors Amber Otts and Jenna Salazar, as well as redshirt freshman Kiana Jamerson accounted for the three additional shots on goal. Freshman goalkeeper Trinity Lujan collected two saves in the effort.

The loss to the Orediggers was gutting after a penalty kick provided the game-winner with just 30 seconds remaining in the match. Fort Lewis held a 17-11 advantage in shots with a 7-2 edge in shots on goal. Mines earned seven corner kicks compared to five for Fort Lewis. The Skyhawks were whistled for 11 fouls and drew a pair of yellow cards.

Otts tied for the team lead with three shots and two shots on goal while playing 90 minutes. Salazar added two shots on goal, and three additional players placed shots on target. Lujan had a quality match with several important reads despite not registering a save.
