Jeff Nelson of the Colorado School of Mines' men's soccer team was named Rocky Mountain Athletic
Conference offensive player of the week.
Nelson, a senior forward from Laramie, scored four goals and tallied two assists to help Mines
to a pair of victories last weekend. In Mines' 4-3 win at CSU-Pueblo on Friday, Nelson scored a
pair of goals, including the winner, and added an assist.
Kayla Mitchell scored four goals, including her conference-leading 26th of the season, as the
Colorado School of Mines women's soccer team posted its 12th shutout, a 4-0 victory against
CSU-Pueblo on Friday in Golden.
The Orediggers have shut out seven of their past eight opponents.
Mitchell gave Mines a 1-0 lead in the 11th minute, when Liz Oba chipped a ball over the
CSU-Pueblo defense.
A roundup of Sunday's college soccer action involving teams from Colorado:
WOMEN
Santa Clara 1, Colorado 0 OT: At Palo Alto, Calif., the Buffaloes dropped their
second contest in the Stanford?Nike Invitational. Linder would be tested two more times in a
one-minute span, coming up with the saves on both attempts, however with less than two minutes to
play in the first overtime period, Santa Clara would seal the deal and finally sneak past Linder
for the win.
Sunday's men's soccer match at Mountain Lion Stadium in Colorado Springs made a lot of
sense.
On the field, Robert Kinsey had a hat trick and added an assist to lift Colorado State-Pueblo to
a 5-3 victory over Colorado-Colorado Springs.
But what made sense is that there was a match at all.
Recaps of Friday's games involving teams from around the state:
WOMEN
Colorado College 4, New Hampshire 0: The Tigers cashed in on a pair of corner
kicks early in the match and never looked back. Sophomore defender Beth Wright scored a goal and

School of Mines on Friday in Denver.
