Reggie Nicolas (Sr., Palm Bay, Fla.) and the CSU Pueblo men's soccer team advanced to their third straight RMAC Championship following two wins to start the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Tournament.
Nicolas scored the game-winning goal during the 74' for the ThunderWolves on Thursday in the RMAC Quarterfinal match against MSU Denver. Nicolas andÂ
Noe Ortiz Pena (Sr., Aurora, Colo.) got together to score the lone goal after Ortiz Pena tracked down a ball to the far corner and hit a cross pass to Nicolas who was able to put it away for the goal.
In Sunday's semifinal match, Nicolas and Co. scored the single goal in the 52' following a corner and deflected ball which landed at the feet ofÂ
Matthew Coleman (Sr., Sheffield, Yorkshire, UK) who then fired a laser into the net.
The CSU Pueblo men's soccer team will look to secure its first RMAC Championship when they take on top seeded and No. 10 Fort Lewis on Friday in a rematch at Dirks Field in Durango, Colo. On Oct. 15, Fort Lewis defeated the Pack 3-2.
The 3-seeded and No. 16 ranked ThunderWolves have won three in a row entering the tournament final and scored a pair of 1-0 victories in the quarterfinal against MSU Denver and in the semifinal match at No. 21 Colorado Mesa.
