Last Weekend Recaps

The Cougars dropped a pair of 2-1 home decisions in similar fashion to South Dakota Mines and Fort Lewis. In Friday's game vs. the Hardrockers, the visitors scored in the second overtime after the teams scored goals with less than 20 minutes remaining during regulation. On Sunday, Fort Lewis broke the tie with a goal in the 82nd minute to secure the RMAC victory. 

Quick Start Notes

Despite the two losses last weekend, the Cougars have already posted a four-win season for the first time since the 2002 season. Their 4-0 start was the best in school history. With wins comes finding the back of the cage. Colorado Christian has scored 10 times which surpasses the previous two seasons. The last time the program scored 10 or more goals in the season was in 2017 when they tallied 13 goals. 

Scoring Notes

Dmitri Fabro has found the back of the cage three times while also recording an assists. His seven points is the most among all RMAC players. Ben Hess and Liam Lakey have both scored a pair of goals during the early going.  Gabe Roloff has a pair of assits and has also a goal to his credit during his first collegiate season. 

RMAC Honors

The Cougars have claimed conference weekly honors four times already this season. 

Ben Hess was named the RMAC Offensive Player of the Week after the season opening victory against Colorado Christian. The following week, Jorge Lopez and Chayce Willet earned Offensive and Defensive Player of the Week honors respectively after the Cougars beats Regis. 

Freshman Gabe Roloff earned Offensive Player of the Week accolades after helping the Cougars beat Bethany and Tabor during a two-game road swing through the Jayhawk State.

Newcomers Everywhere

The 22-person roster for the Cougars features 14 players who are new to the Colorado Christian program. However, not all of them are new to the collegiate game as Cameron Hoff and Alex Trinidad, both come from NCAA programs while Chayce Willett played at Laramie Community College for two seasons. 

Playing time has been plentiful among the new guys as Caiden Dixon (518) leads the team with Chayce Willet (423) playing the fourth most minutes.

Head Coach - Brad Camp

Brad Camp will head into his second season at the helm for the Cougars. Camp was named the program's fourth head coach in December of 2018.

Camp, who brings a host of accolades to the school, joins the department after serving as the assistant coach at East Tennessee State for two seasons, during which he won a regular season conference championships.

The Tennessee native holds national B, C, D, E and Youth licenses in coaching education from the U.S. Soccer Federation. He also has goalkeeper level I and II licenses and Director of Coaching diplomas from the United Soccer Coaches.

Prior to joining the Buccaneers, Camp was an assistant coach at Maryville College as well as the head coach for the Knoxville Force of the National Premier Soccer League. Camp has also served as the boys director for the Alliance Development Centers for the Knoxville-based youth club, FC Alliance. In addition he also held the role as an assistant director for Tennessee's Olympic Development Program.

He played collegiately at Trevecca Nazarene (Tenn.) where he manned the left back position. During his senior campaign he was named a TranSouth Conference Scholar-Athlete.
