Adams State ... Again and Again and Again
Heading into the year, the Cougars were slated to play Adams State once as a countable RMAC contest as well as in a non-conference game. However, due to unforeseen circumstances the two teams played last Saturday in Lakewood which will be the first of three meetings this season.
Recapping Last Week
Colorado Christian played just once last week as they posted a 2-1 victory against the Grizzles. Silas Hess scored the opening goal in the 13th minute. After Adams State tied the contest a few minutes later, Liam Lakey scored what proved to be the game winner in the 32nd minute.
It moved the Cougars to a 3-0 on the season, marking the second consecutive season the program has started with three wins in their first three games.
