Coming off a weekend of triumph with a three-game winning streak, the Cowgirl soccer team will return to Laramie to play against Nebraska-Omaha and Eastern Washington this weekend.
Wyoming will face the rival Mavericks on Friday at 4 p.m. and then continue to play against the Eagles on Sunday at 1 p.m.
“We look forward to returning home and competing against two quality opponents,” Wyoming coach Pete Cuadrado said. “Both teams will provide stiff challenges for us and we’ll need to play at our highest level to achieve victories.”
Nebraska-Omaha is currently 0-3 this season, and are coming off a 3-1 loss to Utah State last Sunday in which the Mavericks scored their first goal of the year. Junior Monica Bosiljevec leads the team with two points after scoring the goal against the Aggies.
They opened the 2012 season with a 4-0 loss to Iowa State and a 3-0 loss to Missouri State after going 5-7-2 in 2011. The Mavericks have a 198-59-12 all-time record under coach Don Klosterman, and are entering their first season at the NCAA Division I level as a member of the Summit League.
The Mavericks had eight NCAA Division II tournament appearances and won the national championship in 2005.
Eastern Washington is 0-2 this season coming off a 3-0 loss to Seattle on Sunday and a 3-2 loss to North Dakota State last Friday. Wyoming owns a 6-0 all-time record against the Eagles.
Redshirt freshman Alisha Stott and sophomore Kayla Sutter lead the team with one goal each. The Eagles average 13 shots per game. They will face MW opponent Air Force Friday before Sunday’s matchup with the Cowgirls.
Both games will take place at the Louis S. Madrid Sports Complex.
