FORT COLLINS, Colo. – The Louisiana Tech Soccer team closed out its two-game road swing in the Rocky Mountains on Sunday, falling 3-0 to Colorado State at the Canvas Practice Field.
 
LA Tech (1-1-0) ended up splitting the long trip after collecting a 3-1 victory over Colorado College this past Thursday.  The Bulldogs will make the trek back to Ruston for its home opener on Aug. 24.
 
CSU (1-0-1) jumped on top early in the fifth minute when Katy Coffin took advantage of a miscue and fired a goal from 30 yards out.  Emma Jones nearly equalized about seven minutes later, but her shot hit off the post.
 
The score would remain 1-0 at halftime, but the Rams doubled that in the 50th minute when Coffin netted her second goal.  This one spun past the goal line off a deflection in the box.
 
Olivia Fout for CSU made it 3-0 in favor of the home team in the 70th minute, scoring in the top right off a free kick.
 
QUOTABLES
Head coach Steve Voltz
 
"We played good soccer.  Colorado State is a big, mature team.  They punished us for our mistakes, but we were not able to punish them for theres.  We were able to do that in Thursday's match when we played not much different.  At the end of the day, we played well, created opportunities, and competed.  This trip is exactly what we needed."
