Ranger Men's Soccer Ends Season with 6-1 Loss to #2 Fort Lewis in RMAC Tournament Semifinals

Durango, Colo.: For the second time in three seasons the Fort Lewis Skyhawks ended the Regis Ranger men's soccer season in the RMAC Semifinal.  This afternoon Regis ran into a buzzsaw in nationally ranked #2 Fort Lewis, falling 6-1 to end their season at 9-6-4.

First year head coach Tony McCall couldn't be more proud of his team this season, "the guys left everything on the field and with a good core of players returning next season the Rangers will be a team to reckon with."

Fort Lewis (18-1-0) got on the board quickly, just 40 seconds into the game when Dimo Krymanidis took a pass from Thomas Hoang to the left box and blasted it past Ranger goalkeeper Wally Fink.

The Skyhawks scored the next three goals but Regis was able to break the string when sophomore Jordan Brandel took a pass from junior Gary Cole and took a shot from 40 yards out that went just over the head of all-conference goal keeper Zane Wells for the Rangers first goal.

The Rangers end their season with their third straight non-losing campaign the first time since 2001-2003.  

Regis loses four seniors that will be missed, Fink, forward James Copeland, midfielder Donnie Montoya and defender Ryan Brennan.  "These four will be missed, they helped get a young group of student-athletes to play at a level needed to compete in the RMAC," comments McCall.

The Ranger offense this season scored 42 goals, the most goals scored by Regis in a season since the 2003 team scored 50.
