After the University of Northern Colorado officially forfeited Saturday's conference match, the Orediggers still took the field in Golden for a spirited friendly matchup. Despite no official score being recorded, Mines dominated play throughout, earning an estimated 55–35 victory in a high-energy showing that showcased the team's depth and chemistry.

With sportsmanship at the forefront, Mines lent players to UNC to help them field a full side and a few substitutes—ensuring everyone got valuable minutes ahead of postseason play. Even with split rosters, the Orediggers' attacking rhythm and defensive structure stood out, continuing the strong form they've carried all fall.

Head Coach and captains emphasized that the match was less about the score and more about sharpening execution and giving every player experience before the playoffs. Mines' consistency across the lineup and willingness to push tempo reflected the culture the program has built this season—competitive, cohesive, and hungry for more.

Next up, Mines heads to Regionals at Infinity Park in Glendale, Colorado, where they'll look to continue their run and punch a ticket to the national stage. The Orediggers enter postseason play with confidence, chemistry, and the momentum of another successful weekend in Golden.
