GREELEY, Colo. – After kicking off its 2014 campaign last weekend with the inaugural Colorado Cup, the Northern Colorado women's soccer team season moves into week two.

The match against Colorado State was originally scheduled for Friday, Aug. 29, but due to a conflict with the Colorado vs. Colorado State football game, it was moved to Thursday, Aug. 28.
