Colorado Springs, Colorado: The No. 14 Regis University Ranger men’s soccer team traveled to the UC-Colorado Springs Mountain Lions for a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference night match under the lights.  The Mountain Lions (8-7-1, 7-5 RMAC) offense proved too strong for the Rangers falling to a 3-1 loss and moving to an 11-3 overall record and 8-3 in the RMAC. 

With both teams in search of the go-ahead goal the score would remain at an even 0-0 heading in halftime.  The Mountain Lions found an offensive rhythm scoring all three of their goals in a 15 minute time span.  The scoring spree began in the 60^th minute quickly followed by their second goal to make the score 2-0 in the 65^th minute.  The final goal for UCCS came in the 71^st minute to move the score to 3-0 leaving the Rangers with a long, difficult task of trying to find a way back into the game.

Freshman midfielder Nick Frank (Shawnee, Kansas) gave Regis some life in the 87^th minute first striking the post but following it up to score the lone-goal of the game for the Rangers.  The Mountain Lions outshot RU 22-11 and earned nine corner kick opportunities to just two for Regis.

Sophomore goalkeeper Connor Adkisson (Federal Way, Washington) started the match and kept a clean sheet in the first half and made three saves.  Junior goalkeeper Christian Nicolosi (Highlands Ranch, Colorado) subbed in at half and tallied two saves from facing eleven shots.
