No one is comparing them to the 2006 National Champions, but the Metro State Roadrunners are doing just enough to get off to the team's best start since that championship season.

On Sunday, the 'Runners improved to 6-0-0 with a 1-0 victory over New Mexico Highlands. Metro State hasn't gone without a blemish this far in the season since the '06 squad won its first 12 matches of the year.

No. 11 Metro State opened Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference play with a 5-1 victory over Adams State at home on Friday.

The Roadrunners improved to 5-0-0 overall, while ASC fell to 3-2-0.

The Grizzlies came out on fire, with Autumn Boyer giving Adams State a 1-0 lead at 3:18.

Metro State rallied to take a 2-1 lead at halftime, tying the game at 38:19 on an own goal after Nicole Pollack's shot from the top of the box was deflected into the net by an ASC defender.
