COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — League coaches picked the Fort Lewis College women's soccer team to finish third in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference, RMAC Assistant Commissioner Eric Danner announced today.
 
The Skyhawks, who were ranked No. 10 in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA)/Continental Tire preseason Top 25 poll, were picked to finish behind No. 5 Colorado Mines and Regis in the RMAC standings.
 
“Being ranked in the top five of this conference is an honor,” said sixth-year FLC head coach Damian Clarke.
 
Additionally, FLC's Madyson Wellcome, a 5-foot-4 junior defender from Chandler, Ariz., was named to the Preseason All-RMAC team. Wellcome was named to a pair of all-region squads a year ago — the Daktronics All-Central Region second team and the NSCAA All-Central Region third team. She was also a second team RMAC All-Academic pick and was chosen as the RMAC Defensive Player of the Week on Oct. 18, 2011. This season marks Wellcome's second straight on the Preseason All-RMAC team. A year ago, she was tabbed the Preseason RMAC Defensive Player of the Year.
 
“I think she's just a hands-down, very good 1v1 defender and tough on the tackle,” said Clarke.

  1. Colorado Mines, 6 first place votes, 15 points, 10-2-2 RMAC, 17-2-4 overall
