CU's soccer future just got a lot brighter.
On Monday, the University of Colorado lured Danny Sanchez back to the Front Range to take over
an underachieving Buffs team that stumbled badly in its first season in the Pac 12.
Sanchez, who spent the past several years turning the University of Wyoming into a winning
program, has a history of winning at every level.
Marc Herschberger scored 3:44 into the first overtime as Metro State upset No. 11 Colorado Mines
2-1 on Sunday at home.

6-2-1 overall and 4-1-0 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. CSM fell to 6-2-0 and 4-1-0.
Metropolitan State College of Denver and the Colorado School of Mines played into the dark and
into a second overtime period before someone finally found a goal on Friday night.

Regis, while the No.6-ranked Roadrunner women fell to the Rangers for their first loss of the

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
