Season Preview

The Cougars return nearly all of their scoring offense from their 6-5 season during the spring. Colorado Christian scored 13 goals during the abbreviated campaign and 11 of those goals return in players Dmitri Fabro (3), Liam Lakey (3), Ben Hess (2), Gabe Roloff, Jorge Lopez and Silas Hess.

Defensively the Cougars starting goalkeeper Max Collingwood returns for his third season in front of the cage. He has started 26 games in his first two seasons. 

Conference Recognition

Last season Collingwood was named the RMAC's Defensive Player of the Year (shared with two other individuals). Defender Chayce Willet earned second-team all-conference honors while Jorge Lopez was an honorable mention selection.

History in (Spring) 2021

The 6-5 mark the Cougars tallied during their spring season marked the first time in school history they achieved a winning record. It was accomplished in sweet fashion as they won their final game of the year at CSU Pueblo (1-0). It was just the second win in program history at the conference rival in 16 road contests at CSU Pueblo.

They started the year 4-0, marking the first time that has ever happen in school history.
