A roundup of Sunday's college soccer action involving teams from Colorado:

WOMEN
Santa Clara 1, Colorado 0 OT: At Palo Alto, Calif., the Buffaloes dropped their second contest in the Stanford?Nike Invitational. Linder would be tested two more times in a one-minute span, coming up with the saves on both attempts, however with less than two minutes to play in the first overtime period, Santa Clara would seal the deal and finally sneak past Linder for the win.

Recaps of Friday's games involving teams from around the state:

WOMEN
Colorado College 4, New Hampshire 0: The Tigers cashed in on a pair of corner kicks early in the match and never looked back. Sophomore defender Beth Wright scored a goal and assisted on another in the opening 13 minutes of play at Stewart Field in Colorado Springs.

BOULDER — The defenders on the University of Colorado soccer team do more than just protect their goal; they attack the other team, too. With three minutes to play on Saturday at Prentup Field, outside defender Kym Lowry knocked in a rebound for the winning goal as the Buffs defeated Utah 2-1.

Sophomore Kate Russell took a direct kick about four yards outside the Utah box, and defender Mary White headed the initial cross.

Jordan Hilbrands scored two goals as the University of Illinois women's soccer team defeated Colorado 2-1 on Friday afternoon in Denver.

Hilbrands got the game's first goal in the 31st minute.

She took a vicious lead pass from Courtney Bell, split two CU defenders and poked the ball past goalkeeper Kara Linder and into the lower right corner of the net.

Lots of notes, many of them from Boulder. Let's get to 'em. ...

Nikki Marshall scored a first-half goal as the Colorado Force tied its fourth consecutive game, a 1-1 draw against Ventura County on Wednesday at the Loveland Sports Park.

The Colorado Force will attempt to win its first game of the season tonight as Brazilians Fabiane Nascimento and Paula Pires and the rest of the Ventura County Fusion visits the Loveland Sports Park.

Pires played for Brazil's U-20 national team in the U-20 World Cup last fall, a tournament that also featured Force midfielder Nikki Marshall.

The Colorado Force was missing some heavy hitters Sunday against the defending W-League champions.

Central defender Carly Peetz was invited to train with the U.S. U-23 national team.

Shay Powell hurt her left knee last week in a 2-2 tie with the Real Colorado Cougars; she wanted to play in Sunday's matinee against the Pali Blues, but the Force kept her out of the game as a precaution.

GOALKEEPERS

Hometown: Lincoln, Neb.
College: University of Colorado
Major: integrative physiology, interested in pre-pharmacy
—Linder missed most of last season, but Coach Craig Deacon says he has high expectations for her this year.

The Force, which plays in the United Soccer Leagues' W-League, will open its season against the Seattle Sounders on May 27 in Loveland.
