Colorado Springs, Colo.: The 19th-ranked Regis men's soccer team jumped out to an early 3-0 lead after the first 11:04 of the game and the Ranger defense did the rest in the Rangers 3-1 win over UC-Colorado Springs.  The win improved the Rangers to their best start in program history at 7-1-1.

Junior Kyle Emge got the Rangers, now 3-1 in RMAC action, took a pass from senior Keegan Bast and one-touched it past the Mountain Lion goalkeeper to the left corner at the 8:59 mark of the first half.

That lead increased just under a minute and half later when sophomore Patrick Freeman, who had a goal and an assist, took the ball from UCCS (1-8-1, 0-5-1 RMAC) on a clear attempt and fed senior Nathan Kafer for his fifth goal of the season.

37 seconds later, Freeman hit a chip shot from 40 yards out that sailed over the goalies head for his first goal of the season.  Freeman was set up by Emge on the play.

Both Freeman and Emge scored one goal and had one assist for a Ranger offense that has scored 19 goals and have allowed just nine.

Regis will continue their road trip with a drive to Grand Junction, Colo. to take on Mesa State on Friday, October 8th at 4:00 p.m.
