GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - Colorado School of Mines took advantage of early Regis miscues to win its RMAC Tournament opener, 5-2, and advance in the winner's bracket.

The Orediggers (22-13-1) will play Colorado Mesa later on Thursday at 4 p.m. in game 3 of the bracket. 

Sydney Marchando (9-4) was spectacular in the circle, carrying a no-hitter into the fifth and really only getting into trouble in the sixth when she got a strikeout looking to escape a jam. Sadriena Rodriguez threw a scoreless seventh to pick up her second save. Taylor Armitage (13-4) had just two of her five runs earned, striking out two for the Rangers.

Sidney Wilson drove in three runs going 2-for-2, and Clara Larson homered and scored twice to lead Mines at the plate. 

"We came out and we were aggressive and made some good plays on their errors, score first and keep the lead," said head coach Tara Wheeler. "Syd has just been our workhorse all year, it was really nice to see her come out and be ready to go." 

Mines got on the board in the second before even registering its first hit of the game as Larson reached on an error, stole second, moved to third on a groundout, and scored on a wild pitch; Wilson added to the lead with a two-out, two-run single through the left side for a 3-0 lead.

Larson drilled her ninth home run of the season, a two-out solo shot, in the bottom of the third, and Wilson drove in her third run of the game with two outs in the fourth, taking advantage of Kailey Robb's lead-off triple.

Regis got things going in the sixth, putting two in scoring position before scoring on an obstruction call off a sacrifice fly, and later bringing a run across on a throwing error that would have ended the inning.
