Colorado States Faces Season’s Biggest Test

Colorado States heads into their third divisional lacrosse matchup against MCLA No. 1 Utah Valley.

Colorado State Rams (6-7) vs #1 Utah Valley Wolverines (11-0)

7:00 p.m. MT |  Colorado State University – Intramural Fields

Watch the Livestream Broadcast

Colorado State enters the contest coming off a 2-0 weekend in Utah, where the Rams showed control throughout each quarter. Colorado State looks to carry that momentum into their matchup against Utah Valley who’s currently ranked No.1 in the RMLC and MCLA.

Historically, the Rams have had the edge on UVU, leading the all-time series 7-4. Only in 2019, Utah Valley was able to find success against the Rams. 

Latest Results (CSU): CSU 21 || UTAH TECH 10 

Latest Results (UVU): UVU 17 || BYU 11 

On the Road

After a slow start against Utah, falling into a 0-2 hole before Tanner Marsh (#91) put them on the board, Colorado State found their rhythm as the game progressed. Trailing 5-4 at halftime, the Rams flipped the script in the second half, outscoring the Utes 7-3 to secure the win. 

Leading the charge was Mason Daly (#18), who delivered five goals, while Jimmy Ponicki (#34) added two of his own. Ryan Menard (#53) continued to play a key role in facilitating offensive plays, contributing to multiple assists along with a goal.  

Colorado State closed out the weekend playing a dominant game, with momentum on their side from the start, scoring eight goals within the first quarter. Both Jack Rego (#22) and Tanner Marsh combined for 14 points in the contest.  

Leading 14-6 at halftime, the Rams held on, allowing Utah Tech to score just once before splitting the last quarter 3-3. The Rams finished the game 21-10 over the Trailblazers. 

After a strong weekend in Utah, the Rams are on a run, winning their last five games. Now they return home as they head into two games against No. 1 UVU and No. 2 BYU. 

Leading the Plays

Points Leader – Attacker Jack Rego continues to lead the team heading into the final divisional games with 53 points on the season, he is one of the top contributors, averaging four points per game.

Assists Leader – Midfielder Ryan Menard leads with 21 assists on the season and 23 goals for a total of 44 points.

Defensive Dominance – Defenseman Kai Skaer leads on the other side of the field with 23 caused turnovers and 34 ground balls serving as a major threat to opposing offenses.

In the Net – Eli Goth continues to lead in save percentage with a 55.4% save rate throughout seven games, with 13.5 saves per game and 62 saves overall on the season.

Utah Valley on the Field

The Utah Valley Wolverines have had a dominant season with a perfect 11-0 record and a 2-0 record within divisional play. Their biggest statement of the year was a win against MCLA ranked No. 2 Brigham Young University, handing the previously undefeated team a 17-11 loss. As reigning RMLC champions from the 2025 season the Wolverines have brought that energy into the season as they carry on the path to defend their title.

Before the plays even start the Wolverines hold a 256-77 faceoff record, a major part in the team’s 417 points this season, defensively UVU has collected 567 ground balls and 133 forced turnovers. For the Wolverines, depth stretches across squads, primarily seen within their goalies combining for 159 saves and pulling a 64.6% save percentage for the season.

While the roster is primarily a young group led by a few veterans that have helped continue to push their competitive edge this year as the team begins to transition into next season.

The Wolverine Watchlist

Points Leader – Attacker Jackson Rehrer has been a key offensive contributor with 35 goals and 25 assists for 60 points this season. 

Goal Leader – Attacker Blake Yates leads the team with 38 goals on the season along with 16 assists for the team. 

Faceoff X – Midfielder Jacob Lundin has been the main FOS specialist for UVU and a dominant force winning 80% of faceoffs against teams and contributing 10 goals and 9 assists on the season. 

Defense Dictator – Defenseman Jack Baird has totaled 46 ground balls and 38 caused turnovers for the season. 

Game Outlook

Colorado State enters the matchup riding a five-game winning streak and fresh off a dominant 2-0 weekend in Utah, but faces their toughest test yet against the perfect Utah Valley squad. While the Wolverines are the No. 1 team in the MCLA and proving to be the most competitive in the country, the Rams have proven they are willing to take on any challenges.

If players like Jack Rego, Ryan Menard, and Mason Daly continue to lead offensively while the defense continues to lock down, CSU can keep the game competitive, if UVU is unable to go on long scoring runs. Utah Valley’s undefeated record and dominance makes them a favorite in this matchup, with strong stats the Wolverines have the edge on paper. Colorado State’s recent success shows they can compete with ranked teams. However, it will take their best performance yet to take down the No. 1 team in the country.

Code of Conduct

Mandatory for all players (new & returning).

Read, understand and sign the CSU Men’s Lacrosse Code of Conduct.

Player Code Of Conduct

Student-athletes participating in CSU Men’s Lacrosse represent Colorado State University (CSU), Campus Recreation, and the Sport Clubs Office. These organizations dedicate themselves to the tradition of proper conduct and expect the same from the athletes, their representatives, and ambassadors.

Any breach of this Code of Conduct & Responsibilities document will be forwarded to the appropriate disciplinary committee for review and action (Men’s Lacrosse Student Leadership, Campus Recreation Administration, Sport Clubs Administration, ASCSU, All University Hearing Board, Conflict Resolution and Student Conduct Services, etc.).

As a Member of the CSU Men’s Lacrosse Program, I understand that:

My actions represent CSU, Campus Recreation, and the Sport Clubs office. I will practice good sportsmanship at all practices, scrimmages, and games. I will conduct myself to maintain the highest principles, integrity, and dignity of CSU, Sport Clubs, and men’s lacrosse.

Participation in CSU Men’s Lacrosse is an opportunity, a privilege, not a right. I will always adhere to the rules established by Colorado State University, Campus Recreation, and the Sport Clubs Office.

I will not physically, mentally, or psychologically haze anyone as I respect the dignity of all persons.

All practices, games, trips, and club activities are DRY EVENTS. The presence and consumption of alcohol or illegal substances are strictly prohibited. I will neither use nor support the use of illegal drugs or alcohol at any club function.

Possession or consumption of alcohol is strictly prohibited in university-approved vehicles and at any time during travel pertaining to the travel dates. I understand that a trip begins when I leave my home and continues until I return home.

I will ensure that practice, scrimmage, and game sites are trash-free after use and that equipment is returned to its original set-up. I understand that this responsibility applies to all club members. I will leave it better than I found it.

I respect the authority of all game officials. At no time is it appropriate to demonstrably question the decisions and actions of game officials.

My actions or those of the team will never deliberately jeopardize the safety and well-being of opponents, teammates, officials, or spectators.

The perception of a gathering of lacrosse players can be potentially construed as a “lacrosse party,” which is against university guidelines. Team members may follow university and City of Fort Collins rules and protocols for hosting gatherings at their residence, but are subject to disciplinary guidelines as necessary.

I am responsible for attending all sanctioned team events, including fundraising, alumni relations, recruiting events, study halls, practices, games, film studies, workouts, and other activities.

I am responsible for following all federal, state, city, and university laws and policies. Breaking any law will directly affect my ability to be a member of the CSU men’s lacrosse program.

I understand the team does not allow players to participate in team activities who have been charged with or are suspected of committing a crime related to domestic violence or gun violence.

If I become aware that either of these incidents occurs. In that case, I am responsible for disclosing this information to the Head Coach within 48 hours of the incident or before participating in any team activities (including but not limited to games, scrimmages, practices, workouts, meals, etc.) whichever occurs first.

I must follow university procedures for injury and concussion protocol, including, but not limited to, obtaining a baseline concussion test prior to competition.

I must report any signs or symptoms of a concussion to our club’s safety officer(s) or coaches when they first appear.

I will return to play from a concussion when cleared by the CSU athletic trainer.

I will adhere to the terms of any equipment contract/agreement that requires each member to wear the appropriate equipment and apparel to each game and on trips. The specifics of what we are all wearing will be defined prior to each regular-season game and trip.

As a member of the CSU men’s lacrosse team, I also understand the following rules regarding dues and travel:

Dues

Dues Basics

Dues for rostered (active) players have two major components:  1) base dues and 2) travel dues.

Dues are calculated based on various factors, including roster size, travel schedule, equipment costs, facility costs, etc. The team is a non-profit program; program funds can only be used to pay for expenses the team has or will incur.

Generally, there are no refunds for any circumstances whatsoever, including, but not limited to:

Injuries, non-compliance, non-participation, and/or dismissal from the team.

Dues payments are to BE A MEMBER OF THE TEAM, not to receive any material goods.

There is a limited 35-40 man travel roster for each team trip via airplane.

There is the potential for a limited roster for each bus trip the team takes, subject to the size of the bus/van/etc., but every effort will be made to include all players to the bus with the team. Please note: this does not include the MCLA National Tournament; due to the unknown length of time and yearly change in location, the program evaluates the National’s travel roster year-to-year basis.

Paying dues does not guarantee playing time or making the travel squad for each trip.

The coaching staff will do everything possible to ensure that each active player makes at least one trip per year, but there can be no guarantees regarding playing time or making a travel roster.

Dues Amount and Payment Schedule

The final/total dues amount depends on this season’s total roster size, equipment, and other operational costs. Redshirt dues are anticipated to be less than estimated, but this cannot be guaranteed.

Base Dues: Rostered (active) players will all owe base dues, which will be $3,000 (estimated) to participate this season. The final amount depends on total roster size, equipment, transportation, and other operational costs for this season. It is anticipated that the base due will be less than estimated, but this cannot be guaranteed. 

Travel Dues: Rostered (active) players must travel dues, which will be $1,000 (estimated) to participate this season. Players will be responsible to pre-pay travel dues approximately 60 days in advance of the team’s departure to be considered eligible to be selected for the travel roster.

The travel roster will be announced approximately two weeks before the team’s departure. Your travel dues will be returned if you are not selected for the travel roster. Travel dues estimates are subject to change based on final travel costs; it is anticipated that travel due will be less than estimated but cannot be guaranteed. 

For Example the team may take two plane trips and one bus trip in a season

Trip #1 (via Plane) = $350 (estimated)

Trip #2 (via Plane) = $350 (estimated)

Trip #3 (via Bus) = $150 (estimated)

Conference Tournament (via Bus) =  Included with base dues

National Championship  Tournament (via Plane) = $400 (estimated) & due date: 3/10

Redshirts

Redshirt players will owe  $2,500 (estimated) for participation. Redshirts are expected to attend every practice and be on the sidelines for local games (in the immediate area surrounding CSU). Redshirts can compete in fall events and scrimmages but not MCLA-sanctioned games.

Redshirts will receive an appropriate team gear package.

There are redshirt staff/manager positions available in the spring. Should a player decide to redshirt after full dues are collected, the coaching staff and student leadership will evaluate each situation on a case-by-case basis regarding “dues credit.”

Promissory Notes

“Prior arrangements” means the player will be required to sign a Promissory Note to ratify their commitment to paying dues. The note lists the specific dates your payment will be made to the CSU Men’s Lacrosse team. This option is designed to assist those with unusual circumstances or other hardships; it is not intended as a “payment plan” for most rostered players.

Delinquent Dues

Failure to pay dues on time or without “prior arrangements” will result in the inability to receive gear and reduced practice/play time.

Players who are delinquent on their past dues/promissory notes – are not eligible to participate in on-field team activities. 

Dues Collection Methods:  

Preferred method: direct payment to team treasurer via venmo @csulacrosse (or other acceptable direct electronic payment)

Secondary method: PayPal via Player Dues Tab

Note that using this method will add an additional 2.9% processing fee to dues.

Third method: Payment to team treasurer via check

Sponsorship 

Fundraising and Sponsorships—Players may raise money to alleviate dues costs, but it is their responsibility to acquire these sponsorships in accordance with CSU Sport Club and lacrosse program procedures. 

Personal Sponsorships affect only individual players. They may be taken directly off that player’s dues, but the sponsor does not receive any compensation for their donation. Personal Sponsorships can be made directly to a player from a company/person and are not tax deductible.

Team Sponsorships are reciprocal relationships between the team and sponsors, for which the sponsor receives a return on their donation. Revenues from Team Sponsorships are split evenly between the player and the team. We have a Team Sponsorship program available to every player, and they are tax deductible.

Academics

Academic Standards — Players are students, and athletes are subject to certain CSU Lacrosse and MCLA academic requirements.

Credit Hours—All players must be enrolled in at least 12 credit hours to participate in sanctioned games or scrimmages (unless the player is graduating in the current semester).

GPA—All players must have a 2.25 GPA or higher to be allowed to participate in sanctioned games and scrimmages.

Failing a class—If a player is failing one or more courses, they will not be allowed to participate in sanctioned games and scrimmages until their grade or grades are brought up to passing standards.

Activity participation—If players are not meeting academic requirements, they will still be allowed to participate in non-competition team activities (practices, workouts, meals, etc.).

Study Hall — All freshmen are required to attend study hall, which will be held every Wednesday. It will be mandatory for all other players that have a 2.8 or lower GPA. If you are not a freshman and have a 2.8 or higher GPA, you will only be required to come every other Monday to meet with your mentor and check in on grades. During Study Hall, players must show their mentor at least one assignment submission. Study hall is crucial to our success because we are all student-athletes, so we put education first, and we aspire to maintain a high cumulative team GPA. 

SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY

I understand that being a part of this team means a certain level of increased exposure when it comes to social media. I am responsible for what I post on social media and will, to the best of my abilities, represent myself, my program, and my university in a way commensurate with that exposure. Never will I willingly or unwillingly allow posts of or by myself or my friends to in any way jeopardize the lacrosse program, my teammates, or my university.

This includes but is not limited to, inappropriate posts regarding alcohol, posts of a lewd sexual nature, “trash talking” other teams or universities, sensitive team or individual information, any illegal activities, “tagged” posts or videos by people outside the program, or any other reasonably offensive posts that could negatively affect our program.

By submitting my player information online and e-signing this form – I agree to have fully read and understand the contents of this policy. I understand the expectations set forth by this policy and will uphold said expectations at all times during my role as a member of CSU Men’s Lacrosse. Failure to do so may directly affect my ability to participate as a member of the program.
