Scouting Colorado State
The Rams are in the first-year of their existence, and have experienced the struggles of a brand new program, bringing an 1-8-2 mark into the weekend. The lone win came in the opener against Lubbock Christian, while the two ties were against Northern Arizona and Southern Illinois-Edwardsville. One problem for the team has been scoring, as following the opener, the Rams have been held to just two goals over the past 10 contests.
Four players have scored goals this year for CSU, and Erika Bratschun leads the way with two goals and five total points. In goal has been a pair of players, but Maggie Sherman has been the most recent starter, and owns a 1.63 GAA with 28 saves this season.
Next Time Out
The Rebels will be on the road for its toughest road trip of the season, with a Friday, Oct. 18 contest at San Diego State, followed by a Sunday, Oct. 20 game at New Mexico.
