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.

Kyle Emge and Jordan Brandel each scored twice as the Regis University men's soccer team hammered Northwest Nazarene 6-2 on Saturday in Denver.

Lucas Mazier and Nathan Kafer also scored for the Rangers as Regis outshot the visitors 20-9.

Regis took the lead in the eighth minute. Donnie Montoya dribbled in from the right wing and crossed to Emge just in front of the net.

James Copeland scored as the Regis University men's soccer team tied the 15th-ranked Colorado School of Mines on Friday in Denver.

Regis remained unbeaten in Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference play. The Rangers' record is 4-2-3 overall, 2-0-3 in conference.

"Whenever you play Mines, it is going to be a tough match, especially when they are ranked in the Top 15," Regis coach Tony McCall said.

For the second time in three seasons, the Fort Lewis College men's soccer team ended Regis University's season in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference tournament semifinal.

The Rangers ran into a buzzsaw on Friday in Durango as the Skyhawks, ranked No. 2 in the nation, rolled to a 6-1 victory, dropping the Rangers to 9-6-4.

The Regis University men's soccer team sent its four seniors off in style, defeating Colorado Christian 7-0 on Tuesday afternoon in a makeup game from Friday. The Rangers ended the regular season with a 9-5-4 record and will face Fort Lewis in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference tournament on Friday afternoon.
