Fort Lewis College goalkeeper Zane Wells and Colorado School of Mines goal scorer Kayla Mitchell have been named the men's and women's academic soccer players of the year by the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.

DENVER – Becca Mays is the type of player who makes her teammates better, and she showed it on Friday against Regis University. Mays didn't score any of her team's goals, but had a hand in all of them as the Metropolitan State College women's soccer team scored three quick goals in the second half for a 3-0 victory at Auraria Field in downtown Denver.
