Saturday — vs. No. 23 TCU, noon, Prentup Field (ESPN+) NOTES: Despite last week’s draw at home against Baylor, CU (10-1-1, 4-0-1 Big 12) moved up two spots to No. 14 in this week’s United Soccer Coaches top 25. It is the Buffs’ highest ranking in the USC poll since getting slotted at No. 14 in the 2007 preseason poll. … CU is one of three teams atop the Big 12 standings at 4-0-1 (also Texas Tech, West Virginia), with TCU at 3-0-2. … Sunday’s 1-0 win against Kansas extended the Buffs’ unbeaten streak to 10 games, tying the third-longest unbeaten streak in team history. CU also put together a 10-game unbeaten streak in 2016, and the only longer unbeaten runs in club history were a 15-game unbeaten streak in 2003 and a 16-game unbeaten streak in 2018. … CU has played four of the past six games without all-time leading goal scorer Shyra James. Still, James returned from a two-game absence last week to score CU’s lone goal in the draw against Baylor, giving her 99 points in her career and moving her closer to Taylor Kornieck’s team record of 102 career points. … Even when James has been in the lineup, the Buffs have enjoyed a more balanced scoring punch than last year, when James accounted for 15 of the Buffs’ 37 goals (40.5%). James has scored a team-leading six goals this season, but that accounts for just 27.3% of the CU’s 22 goals. … TCU joined the Big 12 after CU’s departure following the 2010 season, and the clubs have never met as league rivals. The teams have split a pair of nonconference matchups, with CU winning at home in 2017 and losing at TCU in 2021. … After TCU, the Buffs don’t play again until an Oct. 10 date at Texas Tech.
