Force opens season Wednesday

Last season, the Colorado Force finished fourth in the W-League's Western Conference, with a record of 3-6-3. The team turned in strong performances against the top teams in the conference and was in contention for the playoffs until the final two games of the season.Â

Coach Craig Deacon said he hopes to draw confidence from that.
