LARAMIE, Wyoming (8/9/26) – The University of Wyoming soccer team concluded its preseason in style on Sunday at the Madrid Sports Complex. The Cowgirls toppled Denver, 1-0, behind a goal from Alisa Bunn.
“It was a positive performance,” third-year head coach Josh Purdum said. “We got to play everybody that was healthy and ready to go, and that was a huge positive. But even when we subbed, we showed our depth, and I’m excited for that. The performance for 90 minutes was very positive and puts us on the front foot going into the season.”

Wyoming opens the regular season on Thursday. The Cowgirls host Drake at 4 p.m. at the Madrid Sports Complex.
