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.
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.
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.
Euan Purcell's treble and Byron Cephers' brace led the Fort Lewis College men's soccer team as
it recorded an 11-0 victory against Colorado Christian University on Sunday in Lakewood.
Fort Lewis, ranked No. 6 in the nation, recorded 49 shots in the victory to improve to 13-1
overall, 10-0 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.
