Rangers Drop Game to No. 3 Ranked Midwestern; Kafer and Terrill Score One Each

Denver, Colo.: Nathan Kafer and Danny Terrill both scored one goal in the Rangers' 2-4 loss to No. 3 Midwestern University Friday in Denver.

Eight minutes and four seconds into the game Midwestern (5-1, 0-0-0 LSC) took the lead when junior Nick Auditore scored the Mustangs' first goal. Before the closing of the first half, MSU widened their lead to two when Ahmad Ihmeidan scored their second goal on an assist from Jake Landon.

Just one minute and nine seconds into the second half Regis cut the deficit to one when Danny Terrill scored. Nathan Kafer assisted on the play. Within the next 11 and a half minutes, Mustangs' Kyle Kmiec  scored twice to give MSU a 4-1 lead at the 57:26 mark.

57 seconds before the game ended Kafer scored when he blocked a kick from Shawn Carr, MSU's goalkeeper, from just in front of the goal. On the block, the ball bounced off of Kafer and found its way into the net cutting the Mustangs lead to two. The Rangers kept the ball on MSU's defensive end but couldn't get another shot off before the clock ran out ending the game at 4-2.

The Rangers will face Western Washington on Monday at the Regis Match Pitch. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m.
