LAKEWOOD, COLORADO – West Texas A&M Men's Soccer hit the road for the first time in 2026 and would be defeated 3-0 against Colorado Christian Tuesday afternoon. The Buffaloes offense would be held to two shots on goal and two corner kicks.
The Buffs would produce a strong defensive start to the game as they didn't allow a shot through the first 24 minutes of the game. WT would successfully defend consecutive corner kicks by CCU in the 22nd minute to keep a zero on the board.
