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.

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.

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.
