The Mines Men's Rugby team returns to North IM Field this Saturday, October 25, for their final regular-season matchup against the University of Northern Colorado. The stakes couldn't be higher. With a trip to Regionals on the line and Nationals within reach, the Orediggers are gearing up for one last statement performance on home turf.

Mines enters the weekend riding momentum after an impressive win over Colorado College that showcased the team's discipline, chemistry, and relentless physicality. Every week has built toward this moment—the culmination of months of training, film sessions, and grit. The Orediggers' High Peaks Conference campaign has been marked by strong defense, explosive attack, and an unbreakable bond that defines Mines Rugby culture.

Saturday's contest is more than just another game—it's the final push of the season. For veterans, it's one last chance to defend Golden and cement their legacy; for younger players, it's an opportunity to rise to the challenge and contribute to a playoff run years in the making. The energy in training this week has been electric as the team sharpens every detail in pursuit of a complete performance.

As kickoff approaches, Mines is ready to prove they belong among the best in the nation. The Orediggers have embraced every hit, every tackle, and every challenge this season with one goal in mind: to keep their journey alive and bring home another regional title.

Fans are encouraged to pack the stands this Saturday and fuel the team's final charge toward Regionals. Expect hard collisions, fast breaks, and the unmistakable sound of Mines pride echoing across Golden.

The road to Nationals starts here. Let's make it count.
