Skyhawks score early, rout Rangers
For the second time in three seasons, the Fort Lewis College men’s soccer team ended Regis University’s season in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference tournament semifinal.
The Rangers ran into a buzzsaw on Friday in Durango as the Skyhawks, ranked No. 2 in the nation, rolled to a 6-1 victory, dropping the Rangers to 9-6-4. FLC improved to 18-1.
“The guys left everything on the field,” Regis coach Tony McCall said. “And with a good core of players returning next season, the Rangers will be a team to reckon with.”
Fort Lewis got on the scoreboard 40 seconds into the match, when Dimo Krymanidis took a pass from Thomas Hoang and blasted it past Rangers goalkeeper Wally Fink.
The Skyhawks scored the next three goals before Regis sophomore Jordan Brandel took a pass from junior Gary Cole and took a shot from 40 yards out that went just over the head of all-conference goalkeeper Zane Wells.
Regis loses four seniors: Fink, forward James Copeland, midfielder Donnie Montoya and defender Ryan Brennan. “These four will be missed. They helped get a young group of student-athletes to play at a level needed to compete in the RMAC,” McCall said.
