DURANGO, Colo. – Following a draw at home that halted the Skyhawks' three-game win streak, the Fort Lewis College men's soccer team (5-2-2, 1-0-1 RMAC) is looking to get back in the win column with a pair of Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference matches on the road at South Dakota Mines (2-8, 0-2 RMAC) and Regis University (2-6-2, 0-1-1 RMAC) this Friday and Sunday at 6:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m., respectively.
 
Last Time Out
With Fort Lewis' last match ending in a draw, the Skyhawks have yet to fall in its past five matches. Conference play began last week and the Skyhawks kicked the door open with a 4-1 rout at Adams State University (0-8, 0-2 RMAC). Anton Hjalmarsson was the driving force in the contest scoring goals in the 80th and 87th minutes. FLC then welcomed Colorado Christian University (3-2-4, 1-0-1 RMAC) and allowed the Cougars to force a draw scoring on a loose ball following a shot saved by a diving Lucas Martin.
 
Dynamic Duo
The Skyhawks, along with Colorado Mesa University (6-2-2, 1-0-1 RMAC), boast two of the top ten scorers in the league. Gabriel Legendre, the driving force behind FLC's offense, sits in a tie for second-most goals scored with six on the season through his nine games. Sitting in a tie for fourth and just one goal behind Legendre is Hjalmarsson. Additionally, Legendre leads the conference with 3.67 shots per game while Hjalmarsson sits in a tie for the second-most game-winning goals with two.
 
Scouting the Hardrockers
South Dakota Mines will be looking to end the Skyhawks' unbeaten streak and get back on pace themselves following a pair of back-to-back losses at home. The Hardrockers are averaging 0.70 goals per game to its opponents 2.40. Six members of SDM have scored a goal this season led by Hayden Jaramillo with two total and an assist. Two different keepers have split time in goal, and while Kole Villescas leads the pair with 2.08 goals against average, Daniel Freitas is the front-runner with a 0.712 save percentage.
 
Scouting the Rangers
Searching for its first win after five-straight losses or ties, the Rangers begin the week with a match at home against Adams State before the Skyhawks invade. Additionally, the Rangers have been shut out thrice across the same span. Michael Jimenez, a 2022 All-RMAC Honorable Mention, leads the roster with four goals this season on 10 shots on frame. Rayhan Carlson-Du Toit has scored another three goals while Ben Sheperd has supplied a pair of scores and assists as well. Much like SDM, Regis has split goalkeeping duties between Cristian Sattin and Greg Squire. Both have an identical 1.90 goals against average, but Sattin leads the pair with a .767 save percentage.
 
Looking Ahead
Next week Fort Lewis begins a two-week, four-game home stand to close out its home schedule on Dirks Field. The Skyhawks will play a Thursday/Sunday slate against the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs (4-4-3, 0-2-1 RMC) and eighth-ranked Colorado State University Pueblo (9-1-1, 3-0 RMAC) for a pair of 7:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. kickoffs, respectively.
