Denver, Colo.: Senior Nathan Kafer's golden goal in the 104th minute of the match propelled the Rangers past cross-town rival and 11th-ranked Metro State 2-1.  Kafer took a pass from sophomore Lio DelPiccolo who had beat his man on the left side and scored his team-leading eighth goal of the season.

Regis, now 9-1-2 overall and 5-1-2 in the RMAC, controlled much of the game outshooting Metro State 31-12.  The Rangers took the early lead when with about seven minutes remaining in the first half senior Keegan Bast took a free kick from near midfield and a Metro State player got a head on the ball and struck the ball into his own net.

Metro State (8-3-2, 5-2-2) got an equalizing goal in the 60th minute of the match when Scott Crawford got a cross from Steven Emory and he was able to get it past reigning RMAC Defensive Player of the Week Scott Brown. 

The two teams have played two epic matches with the first also going to double overtime and ending in a 2-2 tie.  In fact, the last four matches between the two schools have been ties.

Freshman Doug Passalaqua came off the bench to notch his eighth victory of the year after he relieved starter Scott Brown after he was injured on an apparent goal that was called off due to a Metro State foul.  Passalaqua played the final 26 minutes, while Brown played the first 74 minutes.

Regis will only have one day to reflect on the win as they host CSU-Pueblo on Friday afternoon at 3:30 p.m.
