Colorado Springs, Colo.: Senior Ryan Brennan and junior Gary Cole today were named to the Daktronics All-Central Region First Team as selected by Sports Information Directors from the Rocky Mountain Athletic and the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conferences.  Junior Nathan Kafer was a second team awardee for Regis.

Brennan, from Albuquerque, N.M., had a stellar senior season from his defender position.  The 6-3 enforcer in the back helped Regis to six shutouts this season, fourth most in the RMAC.  Brennan played in 17 games, starting 14 of them.  The six shutouts are fifth most in Regis history in one season. Brennan assisted on one goal this season.

Gary Cole, from Englewood, Colo., has played at Regis for two seasons after transferring from Division I Vermont University. This is his second straight first team honor after the junior helped the Rangers to six shutouts on the season. He helped the Rangers to an anemic 1.11 goals against average, also fourth in the RMAC. Cole started all 18 games for Regis this season.

Kafer was named RMAC Freshman of the Year in 2007, and last season was also named Daktronics Second Team All-Central Region.  Kafer, from Erie, Colo., tied the team lead with six goals and led the team with six helpers. He is sixth in the RMAC with his six assists and is ranked in the top 10 in six different categories.

Brennan and Cole will now move on to the All-America ballot which will be announced on December 1st.

Regis finished the season with a 9-6-4 record overall and a 7-3-4 record in RMAC play.  Regis ended the season falling in the semi finals of the RMAC Tournament to nationally ranked #1 Fort Lewis.
