CCU Fall to Regis on the Road

DENVER, CO-  The Cougars traveled to nearby Regis for a Wednesday night matchup under the lights. After a pair of first half goals from the Rangers, Colorado Christian rallied back with a goal in the second half but could not net the equalizer in an eventual 2-1 defeat. 

Regis came out with offensive purpose in the first half, scoring a goal in the 5th minute of competition for the early lead. Moments later Daniel Garciacano nearly leveled with a strike, but saw his shot saved by the Rangers keeper. Silas Hess forced another save a few minutes later to keep the pressure on the hosts. Then, in the 23rd minute Regis struck again with another goal to put themselves ahead 2-0 in the first period of play. Garciacano put another shot on goal later in the half, but the teams went to the break with a 2-0 scoreline. 

Gabe Roloff quickly made his presence felt in the second half with a shot on goal. In the 61st minute, Roloff brought the Cougars within one with a quality goal that was assisted by Caiden Dixon. It was the second game in a row that Roloff has scored an absolutely unreal goal. From his position on the defense, Dixon launched a ball from midfield towards roloff. The senior deftly took the ball off his chest, and acrobatically ripped a shot off his left foot from his chest that was lashed into the top of the goal for an unbelievable strike. The hosts stood stunned as CCU suddenly trailed by just one. Michel Pinoncely then made a few saves to keep his team within striking distance. Devin Najarro and Roloff each had shots on goal, but these were saved by Regis to keep them ahead. A few late corners did not result in any threats as the hosts held on for a 2-1 victory. 

The Cougars registered 17 shots with eight of those being on goal. Pinoncely made four saves to keep things tight throughout. 

Colorado Christian will now play their final home match of the season on October 20 as they host South Dakota Mines at 1:30 p.m. MST.
