Regis sophomore Heidi Boersma was named Defensive Player of the Week on Tuesday, Oct. 2 by the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC).
This is the second time a Ranger has been given defensive player of the week honors, and the first for Boersma.
Boersma broke a scoreless tie against Florida Southern with a goal and assisted the game winning goal in the same game. In the last four games Boersma has recorded a total of eight points as the Lady Rangers campaign for the RMAC title.
Boersma wouldn't let her award get in the way of the team or of the game ahead against Colorado Christian University. This same Cougar team upset the Rangers just two weeks ago snapping their winning streak over CCU dating back to 1998. The Lady Rangers came into this game with revenge and got what they were looking for, a win.
The Rangers tied a season high in goals, by a score of 6-0. Freshman Kelsey Hovden started the scoring festivities in the 17th minute with her goal, assisted by Heather Thomas. Nearly ten minutes later senior Erin Bevacqua scored her fifth goal of the season on a header from Hovden, her second assist of the season.
Regis was not done yet; there was an offensive explosion in the second half with four more goals. Freshman Alyson Russell scored in the 47th minute on a pass from junior Carter Cornett, her first assist of the season. Bevacqua scored her second goal of the game in the 51 st minute, with Hovden scoring her second of the game nearly five minutes later.
The Lady Rangers stuck the dagger in the Cougars with their final goal coming in the last 30 seconds of the game coming from Cornett, her team leading ninth goal of the season.
They will face off against CSU Pueblo Friday, Oct. 19.
