REGIS RECAP

Another Shut Out for RU Women’s Soccer, Rangers Defeat Cowgirls 3-0 and Earn a Spot in the RMAC Tournament

DENVER, Colo.:  Regis women's soccer came on to the Regis Match Pitch today knowing that a win over Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference opponent's New Mexico Highlands would mean a potential spot in the RMAC Tournament. 

Intent on a win to finish out their regular season and honor their five seniors, the women took the field by storm, defeating the Cowgirls 3-0 in 90:00 minutes, keeping their streak going to now five games without a loss.

Regis scored early in the match off a big corner kick by senior Rachel McMahon in the 15^th minute.  She found fellow Ranger, junior Kiki Arnold for a header that cleared the Cowgirl goalie and went to the very top right of the goal to give Regis the 1-0 advantage.

The rest of the first half remained scoreless on both sides, with RU staying an even 5-5 in shots with Highlands.

The second half however, was different.  With Regis outshooting the opposition 7-4 in the second 45:00 and senior Ellen Augsburger putting up five saves throughout the entire match, the Rangers would keep NMHU scoreless.

Two minutes into the second half, a Cowgirl defender took a bad touch on the ball sending a screamer through to the back of her own net to put the Rangers up 2-0 with much of the game left to play.

With that second goal in place, Regis went on a frenzy with both offensively and defensively, maintaining most of the possession throughout the rest of the match and putting another goal through in the 65^th minute.

While senior CC Rinehart was receiving the ball from her teammate just outside the 6-yard box, she was pushed from behind by the Cowgirl goalie, causing the official to blow her whistle and issue the Rangers a penalty kick attempt that Rinehart would take herself. 

She sent it through the posts to put the final score at 3-0 for the rest of the match.

Regis advances to 8-7-2 overall and 6-6-2 in the RMAC, earning them a spot in the RMAC Tournament.  The Rangers will take on the Cowgirls once again for the first game in the conference tournament on Wednesday, November 6 at 6:00 p.m. at NMHU.  The winner of the match will move on in the tournament and play at Mines the following weekend.
