Rangers Outshoot UCCS 25 to 10 for 3-1 Defeat Over Mountain Lions

Denver, Colo.: After falling 3-0 to the Metro State Roadrunners on Friday, the Rangers snagged a 3-1 victory over UCCS at home on Sunday. Freshman Marissa Davis, and sophomores Jordan Miller and Kari Taylor each had a goal in the game.

It seemed as though the entire first half was going to go scoreless until just three and a half minutes remained when the Mountain Lions (6-6, 5-6 RMAC) scored the first goal of the game. Julia Saenz was the culprit.

That lead remained until seven minutes and 44 seconds into the second period when Davis tied the game at one. Freshman Erin Kettmann served the ball to Davis from midfield allowing Davis to dribble in for the shot.

Kari Taylor put the Rangers (11-3-2, 8-2-2 RMAC) up by one when she scored at the 76:41 mark. Senior Mallory Pillard’s shot was deflected by UCCS goalkeeper Kayla Millar and retrieved by Miller who served the ball to Taylor for the goal.

The final goal of the game was scored with just 37 seconds remaining. Miller dribbled down field and passed a Mountain Lion defender before sending the ball into UCCS’ lower right net.

Regis outshot the Mountain Lions 25 to ten in the match while placing 10 of those shots on goal.

The Rangers will face UCCS again on Wed. when they travel to Colorado Springs. Kickoff is set for 7:30.
