Rangers Rise to #13 Ahead of Regionals

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – In the final poll before the NCAA DII Men's Soccer Tournament starts, the Regis University Men's Soccer team has been ranked #13 in the Top 25 Coaches Poll by the United Soccer Coaches.

The Rangers were voted #15 in last week's poll, and have been at least receiving votes in each regular season poll. #15 is the highest mark for RU since the eighth poll in 2016, when RU ranked #7.

RU won their first-ever RMAC Tournament championship last weekend, with a thrilling 0-0 tie with Westminster (Utah) that was decided by a penalty shootout, 5-4, and dominant 4-1 win over Fort Lewis College.

Zach Jennings had three saves in the semifinal to send the match to penalty kicks, where Jacobo Betancourt-Tovar, Sahar Golov, Liam Corr, Blaise Richard, and Johan Murillo all connected on their attempts to win.

In the Championship match, Richard scored a goal and assisted two more. Matys Price had a goal and an assist, while Betancourt-Tovar and Michael Ajagbe both scored once, and Corr and Tom Devonport both added assists. Betancourt-Tovar, Abram Wilson, Jennings, and Corr were all voted to the All-Tournament team, while Richard was named the MVP.

The Rangers received the No. 5 Seed in the Super Region 4 of the NCAA Tournament, and will travel to No. 5 (#10) Seattle Pacific on Saturday, November 14, kick-off scheduled for 4 PM MT.

In their matchup earlier this season, Regis won, 3-1, behind goals from Michael Ajagbe, Jacobo Betancourt-Tovar, and Joakim Gunnar. Tom Devonport, Liam Corr, Jan Grillitsch, and Blaise Richard all supplied assists, while Zach Jennings recorded assists.
