CU put together the best season in team history behind a senior class that led the way on both ends of the field.<\/p>\n<p>Certainly the cupboard won\u2019t be completely bare once head coach Ann Elliott Whidden turns her attention to the 2027 season. But the departing senior class leaves a legacy that will be tough to uphold.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is huge for us,\u201d Elliott Whidden said. \u201cObviously it\u2019s nice to play on this stage. It\u2019s nice to have some success this season. But I think it\u2019s more about our program and the belief we need to have to in ourselves to be successful, and the lessons we\u2019ve learned. Hopefully this senior class has passed on a lot of that to our younger kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CU tied the 2017 Buffs for the most wins in team history, finishing 16-4. And even after Northwestern became the first team to post a double-digit goal total against CU this season, the Buffs still set a team record with a 6.95 goals-against average. That mark edged the former record of 6.99 recorded by the 2016 team.<\/p>\n<p>After forcing 19 turnovers against Northwestern, the Buffs finished with a program record average of 10.4 caused turnovers per game, topping the previous mark of 9.68 in 2019. Offensively, the Buffs recorded 109 assists, narrowly missing the team record of 110 set in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/?p=434\">Trump administration aims to roll back limits on toxic wastewater from coal-fired power plants<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Individually, this year\u2019s senior class won\u2019t fade from the team record book anytime soon.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Maddie Shoup finished her senior season tied for eighth in team history in goals (99) while ranking eighth in assists (43) and 10th in points (142). Shoup scored the last of those 99 goals with four seconds remaining in regulation against Northwestern, keeping the Buffs alive into overtime, and she recorded a career-high eight points (four goals, four assists) in her final game. Shoup\u2019s 71 points this year rank seventh among CU\u2019s season leaders.<\/p>\n<p>With two assists against Northwestern, Lily Assini finished with 53 in her career, which ties Miranda Stinson for fifth all-time. Central defender Jess Peluso was a two-time winner of the Big 12 Defender of the Year award, and senior classmates Mary Carson and Mack Hanlon also were key figures on the Buffs\u2019 record-setting defense.<\/p>\n<p>The Buffs are scheduled to welcome back Teagan Ryan, who ranked second on the team with 41 goals; Rowan Edson, who recorded 28 goals and eight assists as a freshman; and starting goalie Elena Oh. But the Buffs will be counting on younger players to step in and fill key roles to keep the NCAA Tournament momentum rolling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think being able to play at this stage, it motivates you,\u201d Elliott Whidden said. \u201cIt motivates you to work harder. It motivates you to come back next year stronger. It gives you that confidence. I think that\u2019s the biggest thing for our program. Outside of the outside things, it\u2019s really about what\u2019s inside and the lessons we\u2019ve learned that hopefully we can carry forward in terms of how we approach and attack the season next year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/?p=432\">The balikbayan box: The way Filipino Americans have sent love all the way back home<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Colorado women&#8217;s lacrosse team broke a number of team records during a historic season, which ended for the Buffaloes in double overtime at Northwestern during the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":437,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-438","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
