SAN ANTONIO -- Allison Kidd fired a shot into the upper right corner from 12 yards just over a miute into overtime to give No. 2 seed Colorado a 3-2 win over No. 6 seed Texas in semifinal action of the Big 12 Soccer Championship at Blossom Soccer Stadium. The goal was Kidd's third game-winner of the season.

Colorado improves to 12-6-3 and advances to Sunday's final against top seed Texas A&M at 1 p.m. CT. Texas falls to 11-8-1.

CU jumped out to a 2-0 lead on goals from Katie Griffin. She gave the Buffs a 1-0 halftime advantage when she lofted a shot over the goalkeeper unassisted. Griffin added her second goal of the game at the 65:12 mark in the second period when she took a pass from Nikki Keller and put it into the center of the box.

Texas cut the lead in half on a Kasey Moore goal that was headed in off a long pass from Amy Burlingham. UT goalkeeper Dianna Pfenninger tied the game up with a kick from behind the center line two minutes before the end of regulation.
