GREELEY, Colo. – Northern Colorado Soccer (2-8-5, 1-2-1 Big Sky) returns to Jackson Stadium for its final home stand of the season, beginning Friday, October 17. The Bears will host two pivotal Big Sky Conference match ups, taking on Idaho State (5-6-3, 2-2-1) and Weber State (9-6, 3-2) as they continue their push toward postseason contention.
UNC enters the weekend following a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Portland State. After giving up an early goal, the Bears responded with a well-executed set piece early in the second half.
