Last Time Out:
Denver outshot Colorado State 15-8 and 9-2 in shots on target in regulation, but needed an extra time rocket from
Jordan Crockett to win its first Colorado Cup since 2013 after a 1-0 result over Colorado State on Sunday afternoon at the University of Denver Soccer Stadium.
Riley Baker came the closest to finding the back of the net in the 80
th minute, but a foul was whistled in the build-up that negated the goal.
