LAWRENCE, Kan. – Kansas Soccer is set to continue a stretch of four straight home matches at Rock Chalk Park with a meeting against Colorado College on Sunday. The match is scheduled for 1 p.m. CT and it will be broadcast by Big 12 Now on ESPN+. Sunday will be the annual Salute to Service game at Rock Chalk Park.
Kansas (1-0-2) played to its second draw of the season on Thursday night against Vanderbilt with a final score of 1-1. Senior defender Moira Kelley scored her first career goal in the match. Kelley took a free kick from the midfield circle (approximately 52 yards) and put it over the goalkeeper’s head for a goal. Vanderbilt forced the draw after an equalizer with less than a minute remaining in the match.
Goalkeeper Melania Pasar was named Goalkeeper of the Week by TopDrawerSoccer (Aug. 22) and the Big 12 Conference (Aug. 23) earlier this week. The national honor from TopDrawerSoccer was the first for Pasar, while the conference award marked the second time she received the accolade.
Pasar currently leads the Big 12 in saves (17) and save percentage (.895) through the first three matches of the season. She is also tied for second in the Big 12 in goals against average (0.67). The Jayhawks have only allowed two goals this season, which is the second fewest in the conference.
Redshirt junior Hallie Klanke is leading the team with three points on the season. Klanke started the season opener, playing in her first action since November 2020. Sophomore Lexi Watts has the most shots on the team with seven and her four shots on goal are tied for the most.
Kansas and Colorado College have met four times in program history and the Jayhawks hold a 3-0-1 record all-time against the Tigers. KU earned a 2-0 victory when the teams last played on Sept. 1, 2017 at Rock Chalk Park. A goal in the third minute by Lois Heuchan and a PK goal in the 88th minute by Grace Hagan secured the win. Maddie Dobyns had the shutout in goal.
Colorado College (0-2-1) heads to Lawrence following a 2-0 loss at Colorado on Thursday night. As a team, the Tigers have scored three goals this season and have allowed seven through their first three matches of the season.
