Ranger Men's Soccer Finishes Regular Season in Grand Fashion with 7-0 Win Over Colorado Christian

Denver, Colo.: On a beautiful sunny day in Northwest Denver, the Regis Ranger men's soccer team sent their four seniors off in grand style defeating Colorado Christian 7-0 in a makeup game from last Friday. The Rangers end their regular season with a 9-5-4 record and will face nationally #2 ranked Fort Lewis in the RMAC Tournament on Friday afternoon.

Early on, both teams were trying to get the feel of the pace of the game, when freshman Patrick Bonitatibus took a ball up the right side and dribbled around a couple of defenders and powered home his third goal of the season at the 12:26 mark of the first half.

Colorado Christian's (2-16-2, 0-13-1 RMAC) defense held the Ranger offense at one goal for nearly 26 minutes before another freshman, Adam Hinkelman, got a gift from the Cougar goalie. Jared Jacobs came out of the box to retrieve a ball and kicked it to the middle of the field where Hinkelman was waiting, Jacobs could not recover back to the net in time as Hinkelman had a wide open net and made the Cougars pay. It was his second goal of the season.

Senior James Copeland scored one more time for the Rangers in the first half off an assist from junior Nathan Kafer. Copeland then returned the favor to Kafer as Copeland found Kafer sliding in front of the net to score just three minutes into the second half.

Sophomore Jordan Brandel scored the next two goals for Regis his fifth and sixth goals of the season, tying him for the team lead. Brandel was the beneficiary of a great pass from Copeland that put Brandel in a good spot to score.

Senior Wally Fink not only had a good game in goal, no goals allowed and five saves, but also capped off his stellar four-year career with his first goal scored of the season. Head Coach Tony McCall decided to put Fink in where he had begun his career, at forward, and did it pay off as Fink took an excellent cross from Bonitatibus and beat his defender to the right and was able to blast the ball by the goalkeeper to make the final score 7-0.

Fink, Copeland, Donnie Montoya and Ryan Brennan all played in their final home game of their career.

Regis had 24 shots compared to 11 for the visiting Cougars. Three goalkeepers, Fink and freshmen Francisco Martinez and Scott Brown all combined for the Ranger shutout.

Regis will take on RMAC top seed and nationall ranked #2 Fort Lewis on Friday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. in Durango, Colo. in the RMAC Tournament. The match can be seen live via the B2 Networks. Log on to www.goskyhawks.com or www.rmacsports.org to view a schedule of the matches being broadcast.
