Fort Lewis College Athletics

Known for his spectacular alley-oops and tomahawk dunks, Matt Goebel is known by longtime Fort Lewis College basketball fans as the catalyst on the school's first-ever Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference men's basketball championship team in 1986-87.

As a senior, he earned All-RMAC and All-NAIA District VII honors while capturing the RMAC Player of the Week Award on two occasions. His .620 field goal shooting was also tops in the league.

Goebel was a four-year letterman from 1983-87, and ranks in school history with 894 career points. In addition to the awards he won as a senior, Goebel earned All-RMAC and All-NAIA District VII honors as a junior, when the Raiders advanced to the District VII championship game and narrowly missed a trip to the NAIA Nationals.

Goebel was a pure student-athlete, combining his love for basketball with a firm dedication to education. He earned NAIA Academic All-American honors as a senior, received the RMAC Scholar-Athlete of the Year award, earned a listing in Who's Who in American Colleges and graduated cum laude in 1987 with a bachelor's degree in accounting. He was a Dean's List student every semester he attended Fort Lewis College.

He and his wife, Karey, reside in Lone Tree, Colo.
