Here come the Rams
Colorado State snapped out of their seven-game losing streak in a statement win, taking down No. 12 Chapman 19-15.
Despite being outmatched at the faceoff X, winning just three of 17 attempts, the Rams maintained control throughout the game with relentless pressure from the offense. In the cage, goalie Eli Goth (#99) continued to anchor the defense with 16 saves, including 10 in the fourth quarter to help secure the win.
The game wasn’t just outstanding for the team. Delivering a historic performance was attackman Jack Rego (#22) who broke a 27-year-old program record for most points in a single game.
