Rams roll on in RMLC play

For Immediate Release
2/24/05


Greeley, CO -- Colorado State continued their domination of Northern Colorado Wednesday with a 22-5 victory in Greeley, Colorado. The Rams wasted no time taking down the UNC Bears with a ten goal first quarter on the way to a 15-3 halftime lead. With the win, the Rams move to 5-0 on the season.

UNC was outgunned at every position, as CSU outshot the Bears 53-10. Once again, senior captain Nick Stanitz-Harper (Eaglecrest HS, CO) got things going with the first goal for CSU. Stanitz-Harper recorded four points in the game with two goals and two assists. Sophomore Shay Cunningham (Algonquin HS, MA), had a superb performance despite playing with the flu and scored three goals and passed off three assists.

CSU had seven different players with at least two goals, freshmen David Ford (Air Academy, CO) and Dylan Bowman (Fairview HS, CO) continue to impress as they both notched the first hat tricks of their budding Colorado State careers.

Defensively State would begin the game front of Tyson Ehinger (Heritage, CO) who made his first start in goal for the Rams. Ehinger played the first half before giving way to fellow freshman Adam Taylor (Air Academy, CO) who finished up the game. Every defender for Colorado State saw time in the game led by senior president Jason Newel (Overland HS, CO) who had four ground balls, one takeaway and several big hits.

The Rams now look to what should be one of the toughest games on their schedule, as they clash with Division III Colorado College on Saturday, Feb. 26th. Last year, Colorado State beat CC for the first time ever (11 – 6). Colorado College will undoubtedly be a good measuring stick for a relatively untested Colorado State squad.

Game Notes:
- Matt Reiss (Sycamore HS, OH) junior LSM, a converted attackmen had the first goal of the season and his first goal with a longpole.
