GOLDEN, Colo. - #16 Colorado School of Mines' seniors led the way in a 4-0 win against Colorado Christian to end the regular season.

The Orediggers now stand at 15-2-1 and 11-1-1 in the RMAC, and will host one half of the RMAC Tournament bracket as they meet Fort Lewis at noon on Friday in the quarterfinals. Dixie State and MSU Denver will play the other quarterfinal at 2:30 p.m. at Stermole Stadium.

Mines wasted no time asserting its will offensively, scoring on Giselle Sawaged's goal just 49 seconds into the game and never looking back as they outshot CCU 34-8. Audrey Shin created the opener off a long throw in that was tapped out by Emi Higgins to Sawaged at the top of the box, and she blasted a rocket to the upper corner for the new fastest goal in Mines history.

Meg Zimmerman got on the board in the 25th minute when a rebounded CCU shot was played long out of the back by Emma Peterson, and Zimmerman's counter run ended with the 2-0 lead. Kaylee Kennedy added two second-half goals, scoring less than two minutes apart on crosses by Shin and Nicole LaTourette in the 84th and 86th minutes, respectively.

Shannon Mooney made two saves to pick up her 50th career win in what was her 33rd career shutout.

NOTABLES
