LAKEWOOD, CO- The Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Announced their all conference rosters on Thursday, and two key pieces of the Cougars team were named Honorable Mention. Seniors Ben Hess and Gabe Roloff earned the distinction after leading the team this year and making a noticeable impact on the pitch. 

A key cog of the CCU team, Hess played his midfield position excellently in his last season as a Cougar, providing a presence that can flow from the back forward with speed, aggression and precision. Hess wore the captain armband this season, and continually showed his leadership in all areas of the game. Ben started every single conference game the team competed in, and he repeatedly showed off great technical skill and set up runs forward with his smart decision making. The conference recognized the leader and player that Hess is with an honorable mention as he closes his senior season. \

An attacking forward, Roloff is a constant threat to put the ball into the back of the net. Using his 6'2" frame, Gabe is constantly winning 50/50 jump balls and heading them towards the goal or to the waiting foot of a teammate. Roloff put in a trio of goals for the Cougars this year, and all were stellar strikes from the senior from Taiwan. The first came against nationally ranked Colorado Mesa when he depossessed a Mavericks defender and blasted a goal over the keepers' head from 50 yards out. His next came against Regis, and he showed off his incredible athletic ability with a bicycle kick goal off his chest. The last of the season came in the final five minutes against Mines when he closed his career out strong with a winning goal on a snowy day in Golden. 

Congratulations to Ben Hess and Gabe Roloff for being named RMAC Honorable Mention!
