| Grizzly golfers set school records |
10/07/2009 - Golf |
The Adams State College women’s golf team set a pair of new school records as they finished fifth at the Regis University Invitational, which was completed Tuesday here at Fox Hollow Golf Course.
The Grizzlies received four rounds of 84 or better as they posted a team-score of 332 in the second round, surpassing the program’s former single-round record of 333 set earlier this season at Cattails Golf Course in Alamosa, ASC’s home track. Tuesday’s mark, which combined with Monday’s round of 339, also allowed the Grizzlies to finish with a 2-day total of 671, a 2-shot improvement over their former tournament scoring record set at the 2008 Regis Invitational, also held at Fox Hollow on Sept. 29-30.
The Grizzlies, who also moved up a spot in the all-important final team standings, have now had four of their best six ever scores at Fox Hollow, which played as a 6,295-yard, par-72 track during the tournament, attended by all nine Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference schools that sponsor the sport.
As the third of four legs to the RMAC Regular Season Championship points chase, the tournament also allowed the Grizzlies to earn four more points, one for each of the teams they defeated. They now have 12 total points, good for a fifth place tie with Nebraska-Kearney, which finished sixth in this tournament with a 2-day score of 678.
Mesa State won the team title with a 2-round total of 620. The Mavericks, who also won both of the first two RMAC events, now have 24 points and lead Montana State-Billings by three points in the overall standings. The Mavericks posted a solid score of 303 on Tuesday as individual winner Jennifer Hilts, runner-up Jessica Berve and Kristina Casillas, who tied for third place, all posted scores of 75.
Hilts finished with a 2-day score of 151 while Berve posted a 155. Casillas tied with Regis’ Lara Pocs at 156 while Regis’ Alex Semanko finished fifth at 157.
The Grizzlies’ top player was redshirt freshman Samantha Hall (Toronto, Ontario, Canada), who posted a second straight round of 81 to finish in a 14th place tie at 162. Those two scores were the best of her young Grizzly career and allowed her to finish with a 2-day total that was six strokes better than her season-low set last week.
Hall, who has now led the Grizzlies in four straight rounds, made two more birdies in Tuesday’s round and finished tied with Hilts for the overall tournament lead of five.
She and Grizzly sophomore Kaylee Moore (Aurora, Colo.) also finished tied with Hilts and Colorado Christian’s Erin Hayes in par-3 scoring as each played the shortest holes on the course in just a one over par throughout the tournament.
Moore, who had posted an 83 in Monday’s first round, fired an 84 on Tuesday and tied with junior teammate Kendall Martin (Tucson, Ariz.), for 22nd place at 167. Martin posted an 83 on Tuesday after posting an 84 on Monday. Moore’s 2-day total was a career-best.
Grizzly junior Codi Hegg (Colorado Springs, Colo.) also fired an 84 on Tuesday matching her season and career-best. She finished in a 31st place tie overall with a 2-day score of 175, a one shot improvement on her previous season best.
Grizzly junior Kelsey McSpadden (Dumas, Texas) also improved posting a 90 on Tuesday to finish 41st with a 2-day score of 184.
Mesa State had a 2-day total of 620 and defeated Montana State-Billings, which combined for a team score of 321 on Tuesday, by 26 strokes.
Regis, which posted a 327 on Tuesday, finished third at 647 and now has 15 points, good for a third place tie in the overall standings with Western New Mexico, which finished fourth at 655.
Colorado Christian finished seventh at 682 and now has five RMAC Championship points to stand seventh overall. Colorado State-Pueblo finished eighth at 689 as the ThunderWolves earned their first point.
Chadron State finished ninth in the tournament at 696 but still has three RMAC Championship points, good for eighth place.
The fourth and final RMAC Championship event will be held in the spring.
Some of the RMAC teams have now completed their fall season.
However, the Grizzlies and four other RMAC squads will compete next Monday and Tuesday at the Quality Inn Maverick Invitational at Tiara Rado Golf Course in Grand Junction, the last tournament of ASC’s fall season.

| Mwei nabs RMAC Runner of the Week honor |
09/27/2009 - Cross Country |
Adams State College senior Reuben Mwei (Kapsabet, Kenya) has been named as the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Men's Runner of the Week for the second time this season and the third time of his cross country career. The announcement was made Wednesday by conference officials.
Grizzly junior Kristen McGlynn (Bailey, Colo.) earned the women's honor, also for the second time this season.
Mwei claimed his second career cross country win on Friday as he led the Grizzlies to a perfect score win at the Colorado State Classic in Fort Collins. He posted a time of 19 minutes, 7.9 seconds over the 4-mile course at Hughes Stadium, good for a 4:47 per mile pace.
In the process, Mwei, a 6-time All-American and the reigning NCAA Division II National Champion in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, finished 10.1 seconds of teammate Brian Medigovich (San Luis Obispo, Calif.), who took second.
Mwei had also earned RMAC Runner of the Week honors on Sept. 9 after finishing second overall and as the top collegiate runner at the Joe I. Vigil Open on Sept. 5.
The Grizzly men are the defending NCAA Division II National Champions and have perfect scored at both meet this year. On Friday, they defeated the host Colorado State Rams by an incredible 58 points (15-73) as the Grizzlies placed eight men in the top 10 and 13 different runners ahead of the Rams' No. 3 man.
The Grizzlies, who have now won nine consecutive meets over the past two seasons, continue to be ranked first in both the national and Central regional polls released this week by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.
This week's poll had just a few changes as arch-rival Western State continues to be ranked second in both polls.
Chico State (Calif.) remains in the No. 3 spot of the national poll while Grand Valley State (Mich.) switched spots with Abilene Christian (Texas) while moving into the No. 4 position, one spot ahead of the Wildcats.
Queens (N.C.) is still ranked sixth while Colorado Mines, ranked third in the Central Region, moved up one spot to seventh in place of now No. 8 Western Washington. Southern Indiana made one of the largest jump in the national rankings and is now ninth while Edinboro (Pa.) held on to the 10th spot in the top 25 poll.
The RMAC continues to have six teams amongst the top eight in the regional rankings including Fort Lewis, making their season debut at No. 5. Nebraska-Kearney and Metro State slid one spot each and are now seventh and eighth, respectively. The Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference has the other four representatives in the top 10 poll in No. 4 Minnesota State-Mankato, No. 6 Augustana (S.D.), No. 9 Minnesota State-Moorhead and No. 10 St. Cloud State (Minn.).
The Grizzlies are in action again this Saturday as coach Damon Martin will take a partial squad to the Mountaineer Open, hosted by Western State at Gunnison Middle School. The women's 5K race will begin at 10:30 a.m. The men's 8K race will follow at 11 a.m.

| No. 18 Skyhawks score late goals in 3-1 win |
09/24/2009 - Soccer |
For nearly 50 minutes, the Adams State College women's soccer team led nationally-ranked Fort Lewis College.
However, that changed quickly as the Skyhawks, tabbed 18th in this week's National Soccer Coaches Association of America NCAA Division II Poll, scored three goals in the final 19 minutes including two in the final four to take a 3-1 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference win over the Grizzlies, Wednesday afternoon here at Dirks Field.
With the win, the Skyhawks improved to 8-1 overall and to 4-1 in RMAC play good for 12 points and a share of the RMAC lead with No. 13 Metro State. The Grizzlies fell to 3-6 overall and to 1-4 in the RMAC.
The Grizzlies took the lead in the 21st minute when junior Kenzie Favero (Ogden, Utah) stole a Skyhawk past and put into the net from outside the penalty box over the head of Skyhawk goalkeeper Christine Schmelzle.
Despite being out-shot 9-2 in the first half and 21-4 overall, the Grizzlies were able to keep that 1-0 lead until the 71:20 mark when Jamie MacArthur scored her third goal in two matches against the Grizzlies and the fifth over season on a Erika Shisler assist.
Tasting blood, the Skyhawks continued the pressure and took three more shots, two of which were saved by Grizzly goalkeeper Kirsten Dorsey (Kingwood, Texas) before Schmelzle stopped a shot by Grizzly reserve Bryanna Brown (Lafayette, Colo.) in the 85th minute.
Then just two minutes later, the Skyhawks scored the would be game-winner as Michelle Felten ripped a shot from left of the penalty area after receiving an assist from Torrey Larson.
Leading 2-1 at that point, the Skyhawks got another insurance goal with just 1:25 left when Larson got past the defense while taking a shot that went in off a deflection by Grizzly defender Passion Griffin (Aurora, Colo.).
The Skyhawks, now 5-0 at home this season, had a 9-1 advantage in corner kicks throughout the day and finished with an 11-2 edge in shots on goal.
That edge was mostly mitigated by Dorsey's eight saves. Schmelzle had one for the victors.
MacArthur led all players with seven shots, five of which were on goal. Favero had two to pace the Grizzlies, who now return home for their only home affair in a string of six matches.
They face Regis, currently 5-2-1 overall and 2-1-1 in the RMAC, on Sunday at 2 p.m. at Murphy Field. The Rangers, who suffered a 3-2 overtime loss against Colorado Mines earlier Wednesday are tied for fifth in the NSCAA Central Regional Rankings. They play at Fort Lewis, ranked third, on Friday before facing the Grizzlies.
