DENVER, Colo.: Regis men's soccer won their seventh Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference match today over Colorado Mesa University, advancing their overall record to 9-0-1 (7-0-0 RMAC). The Mavericks came out with an aggressive start, but the Rangers earned control of the match by scoring three goals in eight minutes of play.

Senior defender Taylor Diem gained possession of the ball at the Ranger 18 yard box. He sent the ball down the field to sophomore Adam Tormoehlen who was at the right of the Maverick goal. Tormoehlen bested a Maverick for a header that he sent to senior forward Alex Tarnoczi in front of Mesa's goal. Tarnoczi scored past the goalkeeper in the bottom left of the net.

Less than eight minutes later, sophomore forward Martin Maybin stole the ball from a Maverick 25 yards out from the Mesa goal. Maybin took two touches and ripped the ball over Mav defenders and an outstretched goalkeeper, scoring in the top left of the goal and bringing Regis up 2-0.

Four seconds later Maybin gained possession once again. He crossed from the right corner of the field to Tarnoczi, who slid to send the ball through to the back of the net.

Mesa answered the Ranger offense with a goal of their own in the 37^th minute and a second with 10 minutes left on the clock. Regis defenders buckled down, not allowing Mesa another goal throughout.

Freshman goalkeeper Christian Nicolosi earned three saves on the day.

Regis will hit the road Friday, October 5^th, heading to Golden, Colo. to take on Colorado School of Mines at 7:30 PM.
