The Kansas Jayhawks women's soccer team saw its run in the Big 12 Tournament come to an end Sunday afternoon, falling 2-1 to Colorado in the opening round. The loss came just days after Kansas picked up one of its biggest wins of the season, taking down then-No. 7 Texas Tech on Senior Night.

The Jayhawks delivered a thrilling finish against the Red Raiders last Thursday, battling through a back-and-forth matchup before junior Kate Langfelder found the back of the net with a shot off the left post to secure a 3-2 victory.

Head coach Nate Lie says the contest had the feel of a playoff game, and he was anxious going into the matchup knowing the quality of the Texas Tech team and how rarely the Red Raiders made mistakes to hurt themselves.

Lie also says Kansas did a good job of controlling possession, using the width of the field and taking care of the less glamorous parts of the game that become especially important late in the season. Those efforts helped the Jayhawks come away with a memorable win on Senior Night and carry momentum into the conference tournament.

With the loss to Colorado, Kansas now turns its attention to the NCAA Women's Soccer Tournament and awaits its seeding. The first round is scheduled to begin November 20, giving the Jayhawks another opportunity to continue their season on the national stage.
