The Cyclones continued their losing skid Sunday, losing to Colorado 3-1 in Boulder, Colo.

Iowa State jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the 23rd minute after freshman defender Jessica Stewart scored her second goal of the season.

The lead lasted just seven minutes before Colorado sophomore midfielder Shaye Marshall got a pass from junior midfielder Kate Russell at the top of the box and put it past Cyclone freshman keeper Maddie Jobe to tie the game.

Iowa State entered halftime 1-1, while being out-shot 6-4 in the first half.

The majority of the second half was scoreless until Russell got in on the action again, scoring in the 79th minute on a shot from 25 yards out, finding the net over Jobe’s reach.

The Buffaloes sealed the win with a late goal by senior defender Kym Lowry in the 87th minute, assisted by junior midfielder Kassidy Fitzpatrick and freshman forward Alex Dohm.

Colorado out-shot Iowa State 16-6 in the second half and 22-10 on the game, and improved to a record of 6-7-1 and 2-3-1 in the conference.

The Cyclones dropped to 6-7-2 on the season, 1-4-0 in the Big 12.

Iowa State’s next game is back at home Friday against Texas A&M at 6:30 p.m.
