For 106 minutes, the Regis Rangers and Metro State Roadrunners played evenly on Wednesday afternoon.

In the 107th, freshman Rachel McMahon separated the two sides.

Her golden goal with 3:59 remaining in the second overtime period gave Regis a 3-2 win and signalled that the Roadrunners no longer occupy the roost in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.

In a game where each team dominated for periods, but neither team was dominating, the Metro State women emerged with a 3-2 victory over the University of the Incarnate Word in the season opener Friday afternoon at Auraria Field.

The season was barely six minutes old when Roadrunner midfielder Madison McQuillams found forward Aleah DeGeneres with room in front of the UIW goal.

Forward Taylor Nicholls netted a brace as No. 10 Metro State shutout Southwest Baptist (Mo.) 2-0 on Monday in non-conference action at Auraria Field.

The Roadrunners improved to 2-0-0 this season with the win, while SBU dropped to 1-1-0. The Bearcats were coming off a 1-0 victory over No.

A trip to Las Cruces, New Mexico, ended in a 1-1 tie for the No. 3-ranked Metro State Roadrunners women's soccer team.

The tie moved the Roadrunners to 5-0-1 overall and 1-0-1 in Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference play, while New Mexico Highlands University is now 3-2-1 and 1-0-1 in the RMAC.

Drained and looking dead after an overtime loss on Wednesday, the Metro State Roadrunners came to life on Friday reeling the Colorado School of Mines and throwing the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference race wide open.

Mired in a two-game winless streak in conference play for the first time since 2001, the 'Runners used goals from three different players and two assists from Ashley Nemmers to stun the Orediggers 3-0 at Auraria Field.
