DENVER, Colo.: Nationally ranked #5 Regis men's soccer garnered another win today over the Grizzlies of Adams State College. The Rangers are now 7-0-1 overall and 5-0 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.

Regis allowed ASC four shots throughout the game, only one of which was on goal. Senior goalkeeper Scott Brown earned the save during his time in between the posts. Freshman Christian Nicolosi was not contested during his time in goal as the Ranger defensive staff stood strong against the Grizzlies.

The first Ranger goal was scored in the 16^th minute of the first half. Senior Alex Tarnoczi crossed in to sophomore Adam Tormoehlen from wide right. Tormoehlen jumped and sent a shot through to the back of the net from the middle of the 10 yard box.

"It's always tough to play a team like Adams, they come out hard and have gotten some good results with other teams so far this season," commented Tormoehlen. "We know the only team that can beat us is ourselves, so we just have to keep our heads in the game and we did that well today."

Tarnoczi earned another assist for the Rangers shortly after their first goal. He passed into sophomore Martin Maybin who beat a defender and chipped the ball over the Grizzly goalkeeper to bring the Rangers up 2-0.

Six minutes into the second half, junior Ben Fredrickson was fouled in penalty range. Sophomore Logan Miller took the penalty kick for the Rangers, sending in to the bottom right corner for a third Regis goal.

Aggressive play throughout the match fueled the Rangers to score two more before time was up. A short eight and a half minutes after Miller's penalty kick, seniorStephen Reed went down the left side and sent the ball across the field to Tarnoczi who picked it up at the 18 yard box. With just the goalkeeper between himself and the fourth goal of the match, he sent the ball to the bottom left to score.

Sophomore Robbie McElroy scored his first goal of the season with 1:42 left on the clock. Junior Adam Hinkelman sent a long ball to McElroy who faced an oncoming goalkeeper. The Ranger sent the ball to the bottom left of the goal.

"We are playing with a lot of confidence right now," stated head coach Tony McCall. "We were outstanding today and I'm very pleased with another win in the conference."

Regis will host Colorado Mesa on Sunday, September 30 at 3:30 PM for their next RMAC match.
