SAN JOSE, Calif. - Maryam Ladkani recorded a career-high seven shots, including two on goal, but it was not enough to put the San José State women's soccer team (2-8-2, 1-4-0 MW) on the board in a 2-0 loss to Colorado College (6-4-4, 4-0-1 MW) on Sunday afternoon.

The Spartans had another opportunity when Sophia Daily fired a rocket of a shot that the keeper was unable to control. The ball ricocheted to Indigo Sims, who was unable to convert the rebound.
Colorado College scored its first goal in the fourth minute after converting a corner kick that eventually found the back of the net. The Tigers found the back of the net for the second time just five minutes later in the ninth minute.
