Ranger Men's Soccer Ties #25 Fort Lewis; Play One Man Down Last 26:04

Denver, Colo.: The Regis Ranger men's soccer team today got out to a 2-0 lead but after a red card sent freshman Nduoma Chilaka to the bench, Fort Lewis was able to tie the game and send it into overtime, where neither team could score.

Senior Nathan Kafer put Regis (10-1-3, 5-1-3 RMAC) on the board first when the Fort Lewis (9-5-1, 8-2-1 RMAC) defense couldn't clear the ball and Kafer got it at his cleats and was one on one with the goal keeper and he was able to put the ball past him for his team-leading ninth goal of the season.

Freshman Ben Fredrickson supplied the next goal for Regis.  The Rangers got outshot 13-2 in the second half but Fredrickson was able to get the ball from the Fort Lewis defenders and the Skyhawk goalkeeper came out but was to late for the speedy forward, Fredrickson did some good dribbling and got the shot he wanted and found the open net to his liking.

Fort Lewis battled back and scored 51 seconds later with just 15:04 remaining in the second half.  Thomas Hoang got a cross from Abdel Becerra after the Rangers were unsuccessful at slowing down the Fort Lewis offense at midfield resulting in the goal.

Chilaka left the game with 6:04 remaining and with just 2:57 remaining in the game Fort Lewis got the equalizing goal by Byron Cephers. 

Neither team could find the goal in either overtime but both teams were able to get some good looks at the goal. 

Freshman net minder Doug Passalaqua had a season-high 11 saves for Regis.

The Rangers will take on winless Adams State on Friday afternoon at Regis.
