The Colorado State Rams women's soccer team kicks off its first season in the Pac-12 with two key in-state rival matches this week: facing Colorado in Boulder on August 12 and hosting Denver for their home opener on August 16. This season marks a fresh start, as the Rams have not faced Colorado since 2018, and they trail the all-time series. The match against Denver is significant as they look to improve on last year's loss to the Pioneers while looking forward to their first Pac-12 matchup in October.

By the Numbers
  • CSU has an all-time series record of 0-2-3 against Colorado.
  • Denver leads the series with the Rams 5-3-2.
State of Play
  • CSU looks to bounce back after losing to Denver 2-1 last season.
  • Head coach Keeley Hagen has a solid record of 44-30-24 since 2021.
