Box Score DENVER, Colo. -  The Regis University men's soccer team (1-0-0) opened up their 2016 season on Sunday afternoon with a brilliant showing, taking down Newman University (0-2-0) by a score of 2-0.

Regis dominated in nearly every aspect of the game, controlling possession, creating offensive opportunities for themselves, and preventing any open looks for the visitors.
 
Redshirt-senior Ryan Urwiller scored the opening goal of 2016 in the 42^nd minute as sophomore Noah Chapleski sent the ball in from a corner kick on the right side. Urwiller found his way to the far post where the ball trickled through and he headed it home for a 1-0 lead before halftime.
 
The goal sent the Rangers into the break with a great deal of momentum, and a reward after continuing to push the pace and creating opportunities. Redshirt-junior Eduardo Belmar checked into the game in the 66^th minute and in less than ten minutes he extended the RU lead with a rocket of a shot from 25 yards out, beating the diving goalkeeper.
 
With a 2-0 lead, Regis sat back and continued to control the ball for the final 15 minutes of the match. The Rangers outshot NU 21-7, putting ten shots on goal to four for the Jets. The corner kick battle was also dominated by RU, 6-1.
 
Freshman goalkeeper Chase Webert earned his first victory between the posts making four saves and completing the shutout. Five yellow cards were handed out during the scrum of a game as Regis ultimately prevailed.
 
The men's soccer team will now travel to California to go head to head with Humboldt State University on September 8 at 4:30 p.m. followed by a meeting with California State University-East Bay two days later, September 10, at 7 p.m. in Hayward, California.
