Looking to Lockdown a Playoff Spot

The Cougars are in a scramble to pick-up one of the top eight spot in the RMAC and earn a trip to the league's postseason tournament.

Heading into the final two RMAC matches, Colorado Christian is in the seventh position.

Colorado Mesa - 16.89
MSU Denver - 15.90
Regis - 15.18
CSU Pueblo - 14.78
Colo. School of Mines - 14.36
Western Colorado - 11.00
Colo. Christian 10.82
South Dakota Mines - 10.00

Next Two:
Black Hills State - 9.77
UCCS - 9.67

Once all the scheduled RMAC matches are complete, the conference will release the final standings. This years conference tournament will be held at one location and hosted by the top seeded team.
